Diddy’s ex-assistant Capricorn Clark claims she was kidnapped, rapper tried to kill her due to Suge Knight ties: testimony

Capricorn Clark, who worked for Sean “Diddy” Combs from 2004 to 2012, testified at his sex-trafficking trial Tuesday that she was threatened and kidnapped during her tenure with the mogul.

The ex-Bad Boy employee shared on the stand that, prior to working for Combs, she worked for Suge Knight at Death Row Records. (Knight and his protégé Tupac Shakur were involved in a years-long feud with Combs and his artist, the Notorious B.I.G., which led to the deaths of both rap icons).

“He told me that he didn’t know that I had anything to do with Suge Knight and that if anything happened, he would have to kill me,” Clark claimed in her testimony, adding that she thought he was “very serious.”

“I felt like there was some gravitas that he had some issues with Suge,” the ex-assistant said.

Clark also testified that she was once “kidnapped” by Combs and his staff. She recalled a time when the head of security Paul “Uncle Paulie” Offord allegedly took her to the Bad Boy offices for a series of lie detector tests after several pieces of Combs’ jewelry went missing.

The ex-assistant claimed she was told she had been “brought to the building to take a lie detector test to figure out what happened with the jewelry.”

“He said if you fail this test, they’re going to throw you in the East River,” she further alleged on the stand.

Clark testified that she was tested for five days, with Offord bringing her back to the office every morning and letting her know that they would keep doing so until they “got to the bottom” of what happened.

The former assistant testified she continued to comply because she wanted to “prove [her] innocence,” adding, “I didn’t like the threats. I just wanted to get through it.”

Most of the lie detector test results came back “inconclusive,” but Clark was allowed to continue working for Combs. She testified that she returned to work out of fear that her boss would think she stole if she didn’t.

Clark held several roles while working for the Bad Boy Records founder, including marketing director for Sean John Women and Casandra “Cassie” Ventura’s creative director from 2016 to 2018.

The “Me & U” singer had developed a close bond with Clark over the years, with Ventura even confiding in the former Bad Boy staffer about her brief romance with rapper Kid Cudi in 2011.

When Cudi took the stand last week, he testified that Clark once admitted to him that Combs had broken into his Los Angeles home out of jealousy over his relationship with Ventura.

Cudi testified that when he arrived at his house at the time, he found several opened Christmas gifts, including one from Chanel, and his dog had been locked inside the bathroom. He also testified about a separate incident, in which his car was burned down, but claimed he and Combs eventually made amends.

Clark is one of the “Bad Boy for Life” rapper’s many former employees to be called as witnesses.

George Kaplan, who also worked as an assistant for Combs from 2013 to 2015, testified on May 21 about witnessing his then-boss be violent toward Ventura and helping set up hotel rooms for their “Freak-Offs.”

The feds have charged Combs with racketeering, claiming he used his companies, like Combs Enterprise, to carry out his illegal activities. He has also been charged with sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, but has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
