Diddy’s Cheeseburger Quirk: Applesauce Instead of Ketchup
*Sean “Diddy” Combs shocked more than just the courtroom this week. During his ongoing sex trafficking and racketeering trial, two former assistants testified that the hip-hop mogul regularly eats applesauce on his cheeseburgers! The unexpected revelation sparked disbelief among jurors and triggered viral reactions online.
The strange detail came out as part of a broader discussion about Diddy’s spending habits. George Kaplan, a former staffer, testified that Diddy’s infamous “Black AMEX”—a nickname for the ultra-exclusive American Express Centurion Card—was frequently used to purchase a variety of luxury items. From baby oil to private yacht leases, the purchases spanned the globe.
But one expense in particular drew a raised eyebrow from the defense attorney Marc Agnifilo: “Applesauce?” he asked. Kaplan replied, “Mr. Combs loves applesauce and eats it on the side or on top of a lot of things.”
Applesauce on Cheeseburgers? Confirmed.
Agnifilo then pressed further, wondering aloud if cheeseburgers were one of those applesauce-enhanced items. “Cheeseburgers being one of them,” Kaplan confirmed. That odd pairing was later verified by another ex-assistant, David James, who said he had stocked applesauce for Diddy but wasn’t aware of the burger connection, BoredPanda reports.
James also revealed Diddy’s distaste for British tomato sauce, stating that the rapper insisted on carrying American ketchup when traveling to the UK. While ketchup may still make an appearance, it’s clear Diddy’s condiment of choice for cheeseburgers is far from typical.

“His world was the size of the Earth,” Kaplan noted, describing the impossibility of keeping track of all purchases charged to the card. “He was doing business all over the world.”
Jurors React with Grimaces and Gags
The applesauce confession drew noticeable reactions in the courtroom. Jurors grimaced, and one even mimicked a gagging motion when the unusual food preference was described. Though unrelated to the criminal charges, the moment added an odd twist to an already high-profile trial.
Online, the response was equally dramatic. “The fact that Diddy put applesauce on his cheeseburger is reason enough to be jailed for life,” one user wrote on X. Another joked, “Add another 10 years to whatever sentence Diddy gets for putting applesauce on cheeseburgers.”
One viral post read: “Out of all the things I’ve heard of Diddy doing, applesauce on cheeseburgers is up there among the worst.”
Apples, Apples, Everywhere
It turns out Diddy’s obsession with apples goes beyond the lunch table. Testimony and reports describe apple-themed décor in his mansion and an alleged apple-related incident involving his girlfriend, Gina, inside his Miami home. Whether symbolic or simply a favorite snack, apples seem to be a recurring motif in his personal life.
Still, the bizarre burger topping is just a small slice of a much larger legal pie. Diddy is currently facing serious federal charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transporting individuals for illegal activity. His legal troubles began in late 2023 after his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit alleging rape and abuse. That suit opened the floodgates for additional claims and ultimately led to Diddy’s arrest on September 16, 2024.
Trial Continues Amid Public Curiosity
The trial officially began on May 5, 2025, and is expected to last several more weeks. While prosecutors present serious allegations and witnesses offer emotional testimony, odd personal details—like Diddy’s applesauce addiction—keep grabbing headlines.
Though the burger anecdote may seem light-hearted, it underscores the broader scrutiny now surrounding every aspect of Diddy’s lifestyle, finances, and behavior. With each passing day, the courtroom reveals more about the man behind the music mogul persona—flaws, habits, and all.
For now, social media continues to buzz with reactions, and applesauce is trending for reasons no one could have predicted.
