During court testimony, Cassie Ventura revealed that Sean “Diddy” Combs used secret aliases such as “Frank White” and “Frank Black” when booking hotel rooms for encounters he allegedly called “freak offs.” Ventura, who accused Combs of repeated physical abuse and coercion, shared these details as part of her broader testimony describing years of mistreatment. She also disclosed that her alias during these events was “Jackie Star.” Combs’ legal team has acknowledged that some of his behavior was inappropriate but denies any criminal coercion or trafficking.
While it’s unclear why Combs chose those particular names, “Frank White” is a known reference in pop culture. It was the alias of a fictional gangster played by Christopher Walken in King of New York, and it has been referenced in Diddy’s lyrics and by rapper Biggie Smalls, who was signed to Combs’ label.
The name’s association with power and notoriety may offer clues into its appeal, though no specific explanation was provided in court.
