Courtney Burgess, a man claiming to have been in possession of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ alleged sex tapes, testified before a grand jury Thursday.
Burgess subsequently appeared on NewsNation’s “Banfield,” telling viewers that the rapper’s ex Kim Porter gave him 11 flash drives prior to her 2018 death.
The videos allegedly featured eight celebrities, six men and two women, with Burgess claiming that “two to three” of the individuals were minors.
He claimed that “all of” the stars allegedly depicted appeared to be under the influence in the footage and were seemingly “victims” and not “perpetrators.”
When Burgess appeared outside the federal courthouse in Manhattan earlier that same day, he said he had been contacted by agents from the Department of Homeland Security and subpoenaed.
The summons requested Burgess “turn over all records, including thumb drives, hard drives, electronic storage devices, or devices containing videos and/or other files depicting Diddy,” TMZ reported.
Burgess has also claimed to have Porter’s alleged memoir, “Kim’s Lost Words: A Journey for Justice, from the other side,” in his possession.
The “fake” book, notably, was pulled from Amazon last month after it was denounced by Combs’ seven children.
Combs’ legal team has yet to return Page Six’s request for comment.
Burgess’ lawyer, Ariel Mitchell-Kidd, spoke to The Post about the alleged sex tapes in October, claiming that one of the male celebs was “more high-profile than Mr. Combs.”
She claimed, “I can verify that it exists. That it’s real and that the other person in the video is very visible. There’s no question of if it’s that person in the video.”
At the time, Combs’ legal team called Mitchell-Kidd’s comment a cry “for publicity and attention.”
The star in question was “horrified” by the threat of the video getting out, with a source revealing he “feels like he was victimized years ago and is now being victimized yet again.”
The Bad Boy Records founder was arrested in September and hit with sex trafficking, racketeering and prostitution charges.
Since pleading not guilty, Combs is being held in Brooklyn, N.Y., without bail as sexual assault lawsuits continue to make headlines.
Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee is representing more than 100 alleged victims against Combs, including minors.
The Grammy winner, however, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing via his lawyers.
