A popular drug found in Liam Payne’s system after his death is the same substance that Sean “Diddy” Combs’ employees were allegedly forced to have on hand at all times for the embattled rap mogul.
Pink cocaine, a drug cocktail ingested in either pill or powder form that consists of ecstasy, ketamine, caffeine and a psychedelic used to treat sexual dysfunction known as 2-CB or Tusi, was allegedly required to be in the staffers’ pouches or fanny packs, per a bombshell lawsuit filed back in February.
According to the complaint filed by producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, Combs’ ex-chief of staff Kristina Khorram mandated “all employees from the butler, the chef to the housekeepers, to walk around” with that substance, as well as cocaine, ecstasy, marijuana gummies and the date rape drug GHB.
“It was important to defendant Khorram to have Mr. Combs’ drug of choice immediately ready when he asks for it,” Jones claimed, per a copy of the lawsuit Page Six obtained.
The producer, who sued Combs for sexual assault, alleged that he witnessed Khorram distribute the drugs to the “Bad Boy for Life” rapper and his “celebrity guests” on a yacht and his homes in Los Angeles, New York City and Miami.
He also claimed the ex-chief of staff openly ordered her assistants to “keep Mr. Combs ‘high’ off gummies and pills throughout the 13 months that Jones worked with them,” per the complaint.
Jones alleged that Combs himself offered him cocaine at one point but he “rejected” him. Shortly after, he was allegedly sexually assaulted in a bathroom by the cousin of Combs’ then-girlfriend Yung Miami.
In the suit, the producer also accused Yung Miami, who dated the “Last Night” rapper off and on from 2021 to 2024, of transporting pink cocaine for her famous boyfriend and being a sex worker for him.
The City Girls member, whose real name is Caresha Romeka Brownlee, denied the allegations in April.
Combs, 54, has also blasted Jones’ lawsuit, stating in August that it’s filled with “legally meaningless allegations and blatant falsehoods.” He is seeking for it to be dismissed.
The former Bad Boy Record exec’s team has not addressed claims he has drug addiction issues.
However, after Combs entered prison while awaiting his trial for sex trafficking, racketeering and other charges, he agreed to undergo weekly drug testing.
Payne, for his part, suffered tragic consequences as the result of his drug use. On Oct. 16, he fell to his death from a third-story balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires.
Aside from pink cocaine, the former One Direction member’s toxicology report showed he also had cocaine, crack and benzodiazepine, which is a type of depressant, in his system.
Retired NBA star Lamar Odom, who is a recovering addict, recently spoke as to how the drugs Payne used cause auditory hallucinations that could have contributed to his death.
“If you’re hearing voices, then it’s hard to escape those voices,” the former Los Angeles Lakers player told TMZ earlier this week.
“So God forbid if those voices told him to do something that led to his fate, that would be real shame.”
Hotel guests had reported seeing Payne acting erratically before he died, including smashing a laptop.
However, his official cause of death was determined to be from the multiple traumas, internal and external bleeding he suffered as a result of his fatal fall.
