A federal agent who raided Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Miami Beach mansion is back on the stand as the disgraced rap mogul’s federal sex-trafficking trial continues in New York City.

The jury saw pics of AR-15 rifle parts, bottles of baby oil and lube, 7-inch high heels and more, as the agent reveals details of the dramatic 2024 raid.

Combs, 55, is accused of using his fame, fortune and many businesses to run a racketeering scheme in which he controlled Cassie using violence and threats, forcing her and others into drug-fuelled “freak-off” sex marathons.

He faces life in prison if convicted.

The images were shown to the jury as Special Agent Gannon was on the witness stand testifying about when he and 80 to 90 agents searched the I’ll Be Missing You rapper’s Florida home.

His Los Angeles home was also raided that same day.

Prosecutors claim Combs, 55, ran a criminal enterprise for over 10 years with his employees’ help, including forcing heavily drugged-up women to have sex with escorts while he recorded it and pleasured himself.

He’s pleaded not guilty.

Jurors saw photos on Wednesday local time (Thursday morning AEST) from the raid showing guns, ammunition, stiletto heels, personal lubricant and sex toys.

Dozens of images were shown of what agents found when they searched the fallen music mogul’s home on March 25, 2024.

Two pictures showed sex toys, including multiple dildos sitting on a shelf in a cabinet. Numerous images displayed gun parts, ammunition and a handgun.

One photo showed parts for AR-15 semiautomatic firearms that were found in the Bad Boy Records founder’s primary bedroom closet and another picture displayed .45-caliber bullets for a .45-caliber gun.

Jury members also saw more images of bottles of Astroglide personal lubricant and of baby oil, women’s black and red stiletto heels, and a lacy negligee.

Diddy’s bathroom mirror was scrawled with handwritten messages hyping up the once-beloved hip-hop star, a photo from a federal raid on his Miami Beach mansion show.

“You a legend,” “You’re an icon Puff Daddy [sic]” and “Upward Motion” could be seen written on the mirror in a photo.

Whether Combs wrote the inspirational messages – which included “What Do You WANT?” – was unclear.

‘HE THREATENED MY JOB’: DIDDY’S EX-ASSISTANT ON THE STAND

Combs’ former employee George Kaplan began testifying against his former boss after prosecutors granted him immunity.

Earlier during brief questioning outside of the jury’s presence Kaplan said he’d agree to testify since prosecutors offered him immunity.

He was previously planning to plead the 5th to protect himself from self-incrimination.

Kaplan testified that he was an executive assistant at Combs Enterprises from December 2013 through December 2015.

The ex-staffer answered questions very directly and openly as he laid out long work hours and “monthly threats” that the music mogul would fire him.

Kaplan said he worked under Kristina Khorram and primarily worked out of Combs’ Los Angeles residence working 80 to 100 hours per week.

He recalled one time when Combs became “angry” with him because he bought two half gallons of water instead of the gallon that Combs had asked him for.

“He threatened my job on occassion ... monthly threats,” Kaplan said.

The former assistant told jurors about how he set up hotel rooms for his music mogul boss in Los Angeles, Miami and New York.

Kaplan said he booked rooms for the Bad Boy Records founder at hotels including The Bel-Air Hotel, Trump International, Mr. C Hotel and the InterContinental Hotel where Combs infamously was caught on tape beating up his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.

Kaplan booked the rooms under the name Frank Black, which he said was a reference to the Biggie Smalls -- since the famous rapper also went by the nickname Frank White, after a character in the movie the “King of New York.”

Kaplan said he packed Combs’ bag for the hotel stays, which he made sure contained clothing, a speaker, candles, liquor, baby oil and Astroglide personal lubricant.

After the hotel visits, Kaplan he collected Combs’ belongings and made sure the rooms were “somewhat” put back in acceptable shape.

He said the rooms had garbage including “lots of empty bottles” of Gatorade, liquor, and baby oil. And Kaplan once saw “some brown crystalized powder left behind in the room.”

“I didn’t know what it was and I got rid of it,” he told the jury.

He will continue his testimony tomorrow.

KID CUDI TESTIMONY DELAYED

Cudi, whose legal name is Scott Mescudi, was expected to take the stand as early as Wednesday afternoon, prosecutors told the judge late Tuesday. The rapper is expected to testify about his brief fling with Combs’ ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. The pair dated 14 years ago.

AMBER HEARD’S PSYCHOLOGIST TESTIFIES

Forensic psychologist Dawn Hughes was called by prosecutors to testify against Combs.

Hughes was also hired by actress Amber Heard in the high-profile defamation trial that Johnny Depp brought against Heard, his ex-wife.

And Hughes is also expected to testify in the ongoing sex crimes trial against disgraced movie maker Harvey Weinstein – which is taking place in a courthouse just a few blocks away from Combs’ trial, according to a report by NBC News.

Hughes is testifying as a “blind witness,” meaning she hasn’t interviewed Sean “Diddy” Combs, any witnesses at his trial or any of his alleged victims.

Hughes has been called by prosecutors to speak about why people stay in abusive relationships.

She said the main reasons people stay in abusive relationships is that the abuse makes them feel trapped, because there is often love involved and because the cycle of abuse makes planning a way out hard.
