Diddy’s Ex-Assistant Denies Drug Mule Allegations Amid Tusi Stash Revelations
Great, just what we needed: a hip-hop icon tangled in federal filings and a former assistant playing reluctant scapegoat. Sean “Diddy” Combs’s ex-assistant has filed court papers vehemently denying he ever served as Puff’s “drug mule,” even as he admits to storing a cache of prescription triazolam (aka “tusi”) and other controlled substances at the music mogul’s behest. According to the Assistant’s motion to dismiss, obtained by People, the U.S. government’s flimsy narrative collapses under scrutiny—there’s zero proof he ferried kilos of cocaine for the Bad Boy founder.
Court documents reveal that during a 2022 DEA raid on Diddy’s Miami compound, agents cataloged small bottles labeled “tusi,” plus vials of Xanax and codeine syrup, alongside personal effects. The ex-assistant’s filing argues that while he managed Puff’s calendar and logistics, he never transported narcotics. “I was neither a courier nor a drug distributor,” his lawyer insists, pointing to emails and text logs showing routine scheduling tasks—not clandestine shipments to New York. This bombshell defense is corroborated by statements from Diddy’s longtime housekeeper and an event planner (per TMZ), both attesting that those pills were strictly contained within the mansion for personal use.
Meanwhile, prosecutors lean heavily on a single DEA informant who alleged he saw the assistant loading suspicious packages into a rental car. But the assistant’s motion calls this claim “hearsay by proxy,” noting the informant has flip-flopped in previous cases (Rolling Stone). He also points to Diddy’s own text messages, in which the mogul jokes about pill counts—hardly evidence of a broad distribution network.
Here’s the sarcastic kicker: while denying any mule-like duties, the ex-assistant doesn’t shy away from spilling the tea on Diddy’s private stash. His court filing meticulously lists quantities—twelve vials of tusi, eight Xanax bars, six bottles of lean—and even admits to stashing them in his personal safe under Puff’s direct instruction. In his view, that’s an employer-employee relationship gone very, very wrong, but not criminal on his part.
At press time, Diddy’s legal team has yet to file a rebuttal, but sources tell The Scottish Sun that they’re “livid” over leaks from within the camp. Whether this denial will deflate the feds’ case or merely amplify the headlines remains to be seen. So there you have it — another day, another Hollywood legal circus. You’re welcome.
