Nash was there to help Ventura
Nash testified that, in 2013, he and an assistant being referred to in court as ‘Mia’ were helping Ventura pack for the OVO festival when Combs walked into the room unannounced.
“He said, ‘B—-, didn’t I tell you to answer your phone?’” Nash recalled.
He claims he saw Combs assault Ventura
