Overview
- Rolling Stone reported Wednesday that at least three people who formerly worked for Sean Combs have taken roles with Usher’s 56-date The R&B Tour.
- One of the hires is Kristina Khorram, Combs’s longtime chief of staff, but outlets say her exact title and duties on the tour have not been disclosed.
- Usher’s spokesperson declined to comment about the staffing and a representative for Khorram did not respond to requests for comment.
- An unnamed former Combs personal assistant who testified under immunity briefly joined the tour and has since parted ways; he told prosecutors he managed Combs’s personal effects and arranged private encounters.
- A videographer who worked on a Combs documentary also joined Usher’s crew and some of that footage later appeared in 50 Cent’s Netflix series, renewing public scrutiny of how Combs’s legal case and inner circle affect other artists and touring operations.
