Sean “Diddy” Combs bizarrely puts applesauce on his cheeseburgers, disgusted jurors learned.
The Bad Boy Records mogul’s preference for applesauce-laden burgers has come up twice this week during his sex-trafficking and racketeering trial — including Thursday morning as his former assistant George Kaplan took the stand.
Kaplan outlined the items that assistants needed to keep at the ready for Diddy, such as baby oil or paying for yachts.
“Applesauce?” asked Combs’ lawyer Marc Agnifilo.
“Mr. Combs loves applesauce and eats it on the side or on top of a lot of things,” Kaplan responded.
“Cheeseburgers?” Agnifilo asked.
“Cheeseburgers being one of them,” Kaplan said. “His world was the size of the Earth. He was doing business all over the world.”
The eccentric applesauce-burger pairing also came up Tuesday as David James, another of Combs’ former assistants, testified about his time working for the hip-hop star.
James, who said he was responsible for Diddy’s riders, was asked what his former boss required and used ketchup as an example.
When Diddy was in the UK, James said, he traveled with American ketchup because British tomato sauce is not the same.
He also took applesauce because Diddy loved it so much that he even put it on his burgers.
“Were you aware he put applesauce on his cheeseburgers?” Agnifilo asked.

“I was not aware, but I knew he liked applesauce,” James said.
Jurors grimaced when Agnifilo mentioned that Combs liked applesauce on his cheeseburgers, with one juror making a gag-like gesture.
Kaplan’s testimony Thursday also delved into Combs’ relationship with Cassie Ventura and a woman only identified as “Gina.”
Both were “girlfriends” of Combs, Kaplan said, as compared to Kim Porter — the producer’s longtime love and mother of three of his children.
“Mr. Combs always seemed to have an extra gauge of patience with Ms. Porter,” Kaplan said.
“Ms. Porter seemed to make Mr. Combs really happy, even when he was otherwise not. He wasn’t going around treating everyone poorly all the time, but he treated her in a really special manner, different to how he treated others.”
