David James He took the position on Monday in Didi’s federal trial and testified to the prosecution… He told the jury that he was with Cassie in Miami early in her relationship with Didi.

David says he worked for Didi from 2007 and 2009 and testified that he first met Cassie on Star Island in Miami, where Didi hired a yacht to convince her.

David testified that Cassie told him that Didi was responsible for her career and music, paid for her apartment, gave her an allowance… “I didn’t think she could leave easily,” he told the jury.

David said the second conversation took place in a taxi at the Sundance Film Festival… He said Cassie was very happy and wanted to tell him about the list of songs she created for a new album. He testified that she started telling him about the songs, but when the plaintiffs asked if he remembered the album that was released, David said he didn’t.

David said he interviewed several times to be Didi’s assistant and remembered one meeting with an HR executive from Bad Boy, who he says told him, “This is Mr. Coombs’ kingdom and we’re all here to serve him.”
