DIDDY CELL-EBRATION WHINES ABOUT BIRTHDAY GRILLED-CHEESE AS GRAND JURY LOOMS

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

Sean "Diddy" Combs marked his 55th birthday behind bars at the MDC, receiving a call from his children and enjoying a "breakfast cake" as his first meal of the day, followed by a choice of pizza, salad, or pasta for dinner.

The disgraced mogul faces his birthday amid a push to instate a gag order as new allegations emerge from witnesses and complainants. The latest claim? A grand jury witness reportedly possesses at least eight of Combs’ sex tapes featuring A-list celebrities, some of whom may be minors.

Courtney Burgess, reportedly a friend of the late Kim Porter, told reporters outside the courthouse that he testified before the Diddy Grand Jury. Burgess claims Porter entrusted him with 11 flash drives shortly before her death. According to Burgess, the drives contain at least eight tapes depicting Combs with various A-list celebrities, whom he describes as victims, with two or three allegedly appearing as minors. Burgess says he no longer has the tapes in his possession.

Two days after Burgess’s public comments on his testimony, Combs’ legal team submitted a letter to Judge Subramanian, urgently requesting a gag order. The defense cites Burgess’s media comments and a New York Post article quoting a federal agent as “improper pretrial publicity” that, they argue, is making it “impossible” for Combs to receive a fair trial.
