In addition to losing Lopez, he suffered a major blow at his ongoing weapons' possession and bribery trial when his driver, Wardell Fenderson, testified that Combs offered him $50,000 to take the rap after shots rang out at a New York City nightclub.

Fenderson held to his story that he saw Combs with a gun on the night of the shootings, but he was unclear on details. He said that he saw Combs pull up his "Sean John" sweat top to put a gun in his waistband, but couldn't recall whether Combs was wearing...
