Jurors in the Sean “Diddy” Combs NYC trial continued to learn more and more about the inner workings of the famous defendant Wednesday.

Homeland Security Special Agent Gerard Gannon took the stand for the second day while pictures of the March 25, 2024 raid at the rapper’s Star Island mansion were displayed.

Most of the myriad photos taken at the scene were shockingly NSFW — and allegedly of items used for the star’s infamous “freak offs.” Think bins of baby oil and lubricant, S&M style rope, sex toys, peekaboo lingerie, as well as illicit drugs and even guns.

Gannon, one of 80 or 90 agents assigned to the case, testified that serial numbers had been defaced from gun parts possibly so that law enforcement could not trace them.

As per CBS News, in cross-examination, Combs’ lawyer asked Gannon, who lives in Florida, if he has guns in his home, and he replied that he does.

The sex trafficking trial, in its third week, may be getting to Combs, who has been behind bars since September of last year at MDC in Brooklyn.

The New York Post reports that at one point during Gannon’s testimony, the embattled singer put his head in his hands.

Courtroom sketches show that the 55-year-old is now also completely gray, due to no hair dye in jail.

On Tuesday, the Bad Boy Records founder spoke for the first time, telling people in the courtroom gallery, “I love you all.”

Combs is charged with two counts of sex trafficking, two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and one count of racketeering. If convicted, he could face up to life in prison.

He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
