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.
Zara Larsson has indicated that she may have cancelled her December 3 appearance at the Formula One Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The singer initially confirmed that she would not attend, before removing the comment and sharing a more detailed explanation of why the performance no longer feels right for her.
The Swedish star was scheduled to take the stage at Etihad Live on Yas Island during the Yasalam After-Race Concerts. Zara and Lewis Capaldi were due to launch the weekend’s entertainment. However, supporters encouraged her to reconsider the booking because of concerns surrounding the United Arab Emirates’ reported connections to Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary organisation accused of committing atrocities during the nation’s civil conflict.
A fan commented: “Please read about what UAE is doing to Sudan then cancel your Abu Dhabi show!” Zara responded: “I will not be going to Abu Dhabi.” Fans later realised that both comments had been removed.
She then shared that she had been considering what it means for her, as an artist, to perform in particular countries.
The Midnight Sun singer explained: “I think about that a lot in my life as an artist… I wanna perform and spread joy and music for people in every country, because no single person is their government.
“I’ve met so many wonderful people from every corner of the world and I know this to be true in my heart. I love people, and I love my fans soooo much.”
Zara acknowledged that her original comment “maybe came off as an impulsive response,” but explained that she had given the booking serious thought. She now believes withdrawing is the decision that “aligns with me the most right now, for many different personal reasons beyond politics.”
She continued: “Maybe I’ll delete both comments and do a better statement soon. I hope to sing with you in the beautiful future!”
