Capricorn Clark, the former personal assistant of Sean “Diddy” Combs, described the mogul as a boss from hell on Tuesday in Manhattan federal court.
Once prosecutors called Clark to the witness stand on May 27, she alleged Combs frequently threatened to take her life, and once kidnapped her at gunpoint, according to the Associated Press.
During her emotional and at times tearful testimony, Clark said she worked for Combs off-and-on from 2004 to 2018.

She alleged he showed up at her home in December 2011 “between 5:30 and 6 am” banging on the door. She said he was furious after finding out his off-on girlfriend Cassie Ventura was dating rapper Kid Cudi, born Scott Mescudi, and Clark had not reported it back to Combs.
“He was holding a gun. He came into my apartment and said, ‘Why didn’t you tell me? Who is Scott?’ I said, ‘I don’t know any Scott,’” Clark said, adding that Combs forced her into an SUV and told her they were on their way to Cudi’s house in the Hollywood Hills “to kill that N-word.”
Clark also testified that on her first day with Bad Boy Entertainment, someone named “Uncle Paulie” took her to Central Park around 9 p.m., for Combs to give her a warning. Because she had previously worked for his arch rival, Death Row Records founder Suge Knight, Combs allegedly said if anything happened “he might have to kill me.”
Clark said she was later fired. She alleged Combs had her blacklisted and told her “he’d make me kill myself.” She testified that she later received a settlement and signed an NDA. The defense objected when prosecutors asked how much money she received.
Right after Cassie filed her sexual abuse civil lawsuit against Combs in November 2023 — and he settled after one day — Suge Knight addressed the “Me & U” singer’s allegations.
The West Coast hip-hop mogul is currently serving 28 years in a California prison for manslaughter.
During his “Collect Call” podcast with co-host Dave Mays, Knight said Cassie’s allegations against Combs were “not new news” in hip-hop circles.
He alleged Combs physically assaulted Cassie and Capricorn Clark over the situation with Kid Cudi, and many people knew about it.
“Same time he beat the s–t outta muthaf–ing Cassie, he had an assistant by the name of Capricorn,” Knight said. “He felt Cap was keepin’ this s–t on the low about if [Cassie] was messin’ with Cudi or not. Puffy beat the s–t out that b–h.”
“Not only did he beat the s–t out of her, it was an Interscope [Records] person, an Interscope check, that paid her to settle so he wouldn’t go to jail,” Knight alleged.
Knight said he doubted Combs would ever be charged with a crime, because the Bad Boy mogul was making too much money for very powerful people.
At the end of the podcast, Knight jokingly said if Combs ever ends up in prison, he’ll save him a spot.
“Puffy, I don’t want to see you go down. But if you need a cellie, I’m gonna grant your a– my cell!” he said before laughing.
Combs is charged with five felony counts, including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. He pleaded not guilty to all charges. If convicted on all counts, he faces up to life in prison.
