Diddy is accused of employing the use of many sex workers during his relationship with Cassie for the rap mogul’s alleged freak off sessions.
During the opening week of Diddy’s sex trafficking trial, the identities of the various sex workers were revealed including a man named Ash Armand, who previously appeared in the TV show, Gigolos.
Cassie confirmed through her testimony that Armand was hired through the Cowboys 4 Angels escort agency to participate in the freak offs.
In 2020, Armand was arrested for beating to death a woman named Herleen Dulai in Las Vegas.
The escort pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to between eight and 20 years in prison.
Armand claimed that the incident happened after he “blacked out” from drug use.
During his sentencing hearing, Armand said: “I have never hit a woman in my life, and I certainly never wanted to hurt Herleen.”
Last year, Armand acknowledged that he had partied with Cassie and Diddy but was vague about participating in freak offs.
He said to Rolling Stone: “I’ve always been super respectful towards my clients. It just all becomes tricky once the privacy is violated. Nobody will feel comfortable using the nature of the business.”
50 Cent also caught wind of the situation and headed to his battleground of Instagram to comment on the incident.
Alongside a screenshot of a news story about Armand’s conviction, 50 wrote: “This shit is a movie one of the sex workers caught a body.”
50 also posted pictures of the other men said to have participated in freak offs with Diddy and Cassie with him commenting: “Where the fuck are the women.”
It is not known if Armand will be called to testify at Diddy’s sex trafficking trial.
So far, the trial has featured evidence from just one sex worker, a man named Daniel Philip.
Philip’s testimony saw him claim that Cassie once asked him to urinate in her mouth while Diddy watched during a freak off.
Philip also described how the freak offs could last between one and ten hours and that he would be paid thousands of dollars for his time.

Panic! At The Disco are preparing to release a special deluxe anniversary edition of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out.
The I Write Sins Not Tragedies icons marked the 20th anniversary of their groundbreaking 2005 debut album during their performance at When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas over the weekend, and have now confirmed the new edition.
On January 23, the group — originally formed by Brendon Urie, Spencer Smith, Ryan Ross and Brent Wilson — will unveil a limited edition box set that features a remastered version of the record.
The package, priced at £164.99 and available for pre-order, includes 11 unreleased demos and a vinyl pressing of 2006’s Live In Denver. The full live set has also been uploaded to YouTube.
On the band’s UK store, they shared a message:
“To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Panic! At The Disco’s seminal debut album, this limited edition box set brings together a comprehensive time capsule celebrating the record's impact.
This release includes the original album remastered for the first time ever, 11 unreleased demos, plus the legendary 2006 Live In Denver performance — never before released on vinyl or CD.
The box set also includes a 12-page zine with never before seen photos from the era, a sticker set, a door hanger, and a paper doll set.”
By 2023, the band had essentially become a solo project for Urie. Their final show was held in Manchester, UK, where the frontman said: “Sometimes a journey must end for a new one to begin.
“We’ve been trying to keep it to ourselves, though some of you may have heard… Sarah and I are expecting a baby very soon!
The prospect of being a father and getting to watch my wife become a mother is both humbling and exciting. I look forward to this next adventure.”
Panic! returned to the stage at WWWY over the weekend, performing A Fever You Can't Sweat Out in full alongside fan favorites like This Is Gospel and Nine in the Afternoon.
To end the night, they performed I Write Sins Not Tragedies once again, as Smith reunited with Urie for the emotional closing moment.
