“I’m sure there were other things”: George Kaplan testifies in Diddy’s case revealing he delivered food and dr*gs for Sean Combs during hotel stays 

The second week of witness testimony in Sean Diddy Combs’ trial is well underway. So far, two former personal assistants of the embattled music executive David James, and George Kaplan have been called to the stand as witnesses for the prosecution.

David James told jurors on May 20, 2025, that he had to quit his job after he saw Diddy arm himself with three guns as he went after rival Suge Knight. James also claimed that Diddy took illegal and prescription drugs, and he (James) had to ensure that his former boss had up to “40 different” cosmetic products in his hotel room.

George Kaplan, in his own testimony on May 21, 2025, seemed to corroborate some of James’ earlier statements. The former employee of the music executive alleged that he was tasked with delivering food, drugs and clothes needed by Diddy during his hotel stays.

He added that the medication included Tylenol, Advil, Ketamine and Wellbutrin. He stated:

“I’m sure there were other things."

But didn’t elaborate on what those things might be, adding that he didn’t go through the prescription items.

George Kaplan was reportedly booking hotel rooms for Sean Diddy using a variation of the Notorious B.I.G's nickname

Kaplan testified that he booked hotel rooms for Combs. The former employee alleged that upon a few hours' notice from Combs or his right-hand person, Kristina Khorram, he would have to book hotel rooms for his boss in Los Angeles, Miami and New York.

Kaplan further alleged that these rooms were booked under the alias Frank Black, a name inspired by the nickname of rap legend Notorious B.I.G., Frank White. He also stocked these rooms with Astroglide, baby oil and candles:

“My understanding was that he would have guests or a [female] partner” in these rooms."

Kaplan claimed that he worked 80 to 100 hours a week as Combs' assistant. His day typically began around 9 a.m. when he liaised with the chef about Combs’ breakfast.

His scope of work also included carrying Diddy’s bags and ensuring that he had “everything he might need.” George Kaplan explained that the “necessities” consisted of anything from an iPad to snacks or drugs.

According to the Washington Post, Kaplan was granted immunity by the court for his testimony.

Sean Diddy Combs is facing a charge of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. His trial began in May 2025. It will not be publicized and is expected to last up to eight weeks.
