A security guard told how Sean 'Diddy' Combs counted out $100,000 from a brown paper bag to buy the only copy of a video showing him beating up his ex-girlfriend on the second day of the fourth week of the disgraced rap mogul's sex trafficking trial.
Eddy Garcia, who worked at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, told in vivid detail how the hip hop mogul used a counting machine to add up the money for the bribe in 2016.
Garcia said that Diddy called him 'Eddy, my angel' for deleting it from the servers and giving it to him on a USB stick.
The money was split between Garcia, another security officer and the head of security at the hotel.
But another security officer secretly made a copy which was leaked to CNN in 2024 - the airing of the footage helped lead to Diddy's downfall and arrest in September that year.
