Diddy's ex-girlfriend says even feds raiding two of his residences didn't stop the "freak-offs" ... 'cause she says one of the last ones she last participated in was in August 2024 -- about a month before he was arrested.

"Jane" is back on the stand for her second day of testimony ... and, prosecutors went through the entertainers she said she had sex with during "hotel nights" -- the name she and Diddy gave to their freak-offs.

Jane ran through the last time she says she had sex with these people ... and, when it came to Don -- the man she says took part in her first freak-off with Diddy -- she says they last hooked up in August 2024.

Diddy's trial has focused a lot on drugs and drug usage over the past few days ... including when Cassie's friend Bryana Bongolan testified that she previously purchased drugs for her -- and pictures of what appear to be drugs have now been entered into evidence.

In text messages, the prosecution says were sent from Bongolan to Cassie, Bongolan says she's going to stop by Cassie's location in a few minutes to drop something off -- later telling her she's outside.

About 30 minutes later, Cassie texts Bryana, "he wanted me to ask if ur sure that's moly bc it didn't taste like anything."

NFL wide receiver Xavier Legette played GloRilla's love interest in a new music video ... and let's just say they both took their roles very seriously.

Legette -- who signed a four-year deal with the Carolina Panthers in 2024 -- appeared in the three-minute visuals for Glo's new song, "Typa" ... and the two share intimate moments throughout.

At one point, the shirtless athlete plants a kiss on GloRilla, who is sporting lingerie ... as the two get lovey-dovey in the bedroom.

Diddy's ex-girlfriend "Jane" is testifying in detail about how she says the freak-offs worked during their 4-year relationship ... zeroing in on a male escort with whom she says they routinely hooked up with and paid for his services.

Jane - the pseudonym for one of Diddy's exes on the witness stand -- was taking questions from the prosecution on Day 18 of the Diddy trial ... and she brought up a man known as "Sly."

She said she and Diddy were impressed by images of "Sly's size," prompting her to reach out to him via Instagram.

Diddy's ex says she took substances to push through the "freak-offs" she participated in ... using ecstasy to up her energy -- and to numb the whole experience.

"Jane" -- Diddy's ex-girlfriend who is testifying under a pseudonym -- broke down the role drugs played in her sexual encounters with entertainers she calls "hotel nights," the couple's name for freak-offs, which didn't always take place in hotels. She admitted there were a ton of different drugs at these experiences, though she mostly stuck with using ecstasy.

When asked how ecstasy made her feel, Jane replied it gave her sexual energy ... much-needed since she's already testified that sometimes she would have sex for multiple rounds and hours at a time.

Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering 18th day of testimony resumed with "Jane" returning to the stand ... she told the jury about her reluctance to participate in alleged "hotel nights" -- their term for freak-offs.

You'll recall, "Jane" -- who is testifying under a pseudonym -- said she's a former girlfriend of Diddy's and was in a relationship with him from around 2021 until the music mogul was arrested in September. In the federal indictment, she's listed as "Victim-2."

On the stand Friday , she continued to field questions from prosecutors about her sexual relations with Diddy ... telling the jury they used the word "entertainers" to refer to male prostitutes who joined them during marathon drug-fueled multi-partner sex sessions, the so-called "freak-offs" mentioned throughout the trial. Jane testified Thursday the two of them called these sessions "hotel nights" ... though they were not always held at hotels.

Diddy's 17th day of trial might have been the most shocking yet ... taking the court on a roller coaster ride through Bryana Bongolan's second day of testimony -- and resulting in Diddy getting a warning from the judge.

The mogul was back in federal court Thursday, and the day started with Bongolan taking the stand again for her second day of testimony.

The defense hammered her on the date she alleged Diddy held her over the edge of the balcony ... arguing it can't be September 26, 2016 as she said because Diddy was in New York at the time.

Jay-Z will have an extra close eye on the NBA Finals this year ... 'cause the hip-hop mogul just placed a gigantic wager on the Oklahoma City Thunder winning the 'chip in five games!

TMZ Sports has learned Hov threw down $1 MILLION with his good friend Michael Rubin's Fanatics Sportsbook ... and if he's right, he will profit $2,300,000, on top of the milli he wagered (he'll walk away with $3.3m total).

The Thunder, led by this year's NBA MVP, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, are heavy favorites to beat Tyrese Haliburton's Indiana Pacers.

But, Jay's bet isn't as simple as picking the overwhelming fav to win ... it's gotta be in five games, meaning the Thunder cannot lose more than once in the best-of-seven series.

It's a bit of a longshot ... though if Jay-Z ultimately loses the wager, don't cry too hard for his bank account. He's worth around $2.5 BILLION, according to Forbes.

Lil Scrappy is free to crank and crunk through his summer tour schedule without worry ... the guy who got cold-cocked at his recent show in Ohio doesn't have a case to stand on!!!

Columbus Police Sgt. James K. Fuqua confirms to TMZ Hip Hop that the guy who attempted to jump onstage Saturday was stopped by a member of Lil Scrappy’s security team ... not Columbus Police Officers.

We're told the person was officially trespassing with his attempt to access that portion of the stage, as he did not have permission to be in that particular part of the venue inside the Columbus Commons.

Another Diddy accuser took the stand Thursday, diving into her sex life with the mogul ... and dishing on the pet names they had for one another.

"Jane" -- an alleged victim testifying under a pseudonym in the trial -- says she dated Diddy from 2021 up until his arrest last year. She told the jury intimate details of their relationship ... saying the two watched a lot of pornography while hooking up.

Jane said they had one conversation about fantasies while watching porn together in May 2021. Jane said she left the room to use the bathroom, but, when she came back, Diddy was on the phone and told her the two could have a freak-off that night.

Too $hort's says he's got the win-win solution to get hip hop music poppin' again -- by having all the new rappers comb through his catalog and discover a classic sound of their own!!!

The Oakland OG tells TMZ Hip Hop that veteran gatekeepers and freshman artists both need to do some soul-searching about the piss-poor product they've been pumping out -- and the repetitive subject matter that gives rap, a bad wrap!!!

It's kinda funny hearing a fan shout out $hort's trademarked "Biatch!" from the street as he complains about rap's misogyny but he sees the writing on the wall.

Sean "Diddy" Combs' better quit making faces at jurors in his federal trial, or he'll be booted from the courtroom ... that's the stern warning the judge hit him with Thursday morning.

The 17th day of the trial began with Diddy's defense team peppering Bryana Bongolan on cross-examination -- questioning her about the alleged incident where she says Diddy held her over the edge of a balcony 17 stories above the ground.

After her testimony, once jurors left for a break, Judge Arun Subramanian admonished Diddy defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo for his client's courtroom behavior ... pointing out Diddy was "nodding vigorously" while staring down jurors.

Former "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" castmate Khadiyah Lewis, who appeared as Yung Joc's GF and biz consultant on the hit reality series, has died ... a tragic moment that happened last week!!!

Her brother confirmed the 44-year-old real estate agent's death in a statement with The Shade Room ... declining to share the cause of Khadiyah's death.

“This has been an extremely emotionally devastating time. All prayers, condolences, and well wishes are sincerely appreciated,” the statement reads.

6/5 6:42 AM PT -- DDG's Temporary Restraining Order request against Halle Bailey has been denied. Halle is free to leave the country with their child for business or personal reasons.

2:23 PM PT -- Halle Bailey has filed to deny DDG's request and instead grant her permission to take their son out of the country so she can work. Halle is also requesting orders to stop DDG and his family and friends to stop posting about their son, this litigation and Halle on all platforms.

Halle also points out that DDG waited until today, June 4, to file a request to block her from traveling and ask for new custody orders, when he and his attorneys have ignored all of her efforts for him to have monitored visits with their son since the issuance of the TRO on 5/13/25.

DDG has filed an emergency motion to stop Halle Bailey from taking their infant son out of the country ... claiming she poses an "imminent emotional and psychological risk" to the child.

The rapper filed the docs Wednesday morning asking for an emergency hearing because he says Halle has made plans to fly with their son, Halo, to Italy on Saturday.

DDG says the court shouldn't allow this because Halle isn't mentally healthy enough to care for herself and their child, and he worries about what she might do if she leaves the court's jurisdiction.

The Diddy trial's 16th day of testimony took place Wednesday ... but, it wasn't the sweet 16 he may have hoped for -- 'cause the woman who testified painted a pretty scary picture of him.

Bryana Bongolan -- Cassie's friend and a fashion designer -- took the stand Wednesday ... and, she testified about the time Diddy allegedly dangled her off a balcony while they were either smoking or about to smoke a blunt at Cassie's place.

Bongolan says Diddy held her off of the high-rise and yelled, "You know what the f*** you did" ... before she says he pulled her back up and slammed her into the furniture.

Lil Scrappy's recent performance in Columbus, OH hit a snag when a man rushed the stage, only to get knuckled before he bucked -- and police are now investigating the case!!!

Sgt. James Fuqua of the Columbus Police Department tells TMZ Hip Hop that police weren't originally notified of the head-bussin' incident ... but investigators say they are now combing through the video.

Scrappy was performing during the Day 2 lineup for the SUMMER614 — Where Music is Therapy Festival, when a man crept up from the side of the stage and climbed onto a speaker -- only to be pushed with tremendous force by another man standing onstage before he could even make it on the platform.
