Diddy, who had popped out of the room momentarily, came back carrying a brown bag and a money counter. Diddy started plunking cash into the counter. “In the end, it was $100,000.” Diddy put the cash in the bag and handed it to Garcia. “He asked me if I wanted to count it,” Garcia testified. “I said ‘I trust the machine.’”

Former hotel security officer Eddy Garcia has testified that he was given $100,000 after handing over CCTV video to Diddy, which showed the rapper attack Cassie Ventura in 2016. Garcia also told the court that he signed a non-disclosure agreement, which declared the video was the only one that existed.

Cassie has just welcomed her third baby with husband Alex Fine, only two weeks after she gave emotional testimony in a high-profile court case involving her ex-boyfriend, music mogul Diddy.
