A Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and close friend of R&B singer Cassie, has released a candid open letter to rap mogul Diddy. The letter revealed more shocking details about their alleged experiences.
‘Dear Sean Combs’
On Thursday, Dec. 7, Tiffany Red, a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and close friend of Cassie penned an open letter to Diddy. In the letter, Red addresses her fears for her safety stands in solidarity with Cassie, and shares her encounters with Diddy.
The open letter, published in Rolling Stone, delves into the Bad Boy CEO’s alleged abusive behavior and control over Cassie, shedding light on a dark side of the music industry. Tiffany Red begins her open letter by writing:
“Dear Sean Combs, I’m stepping forward to recount my experience as a witness to events detailed in my friend Cassandra Ventura’s now-settled civil lawsuit against you. I’m breaking my silence, freeing myself form haunting recollections, standing in solidarity with Cassie, and standing up for myself. I fear for my safety as her suit alludes to me, although not by name. I hope that revealing my identity to the public will afford me some measure of protection.”
Red recounted the history of her and Cassie’s relationship, as the two became friends in 2015 when Tiffany co-wrote songs for Cassie’s album that was never released. Tiffany Redd alluded to Diddy never releasing the album. She further stated:
“I’m one of the friends mentioned in her lawsuit, specifically from the night of her 29th birthday, as detailed in the section labeled ‘Mr. Combs Forces Ms. Ventura Into Sex Trafficking.’”
‘Loyal’
Following this, Red detailed the first time she met Diddy, which occurred in August 2015 at a surprise party that Diddy threw for Cassie’s 29th birthday at a hotel in Los Angeles.
Upon their meeting, Redd stated that Diddy approached her, saying, “So you’re the one writing all these songs about me?” She responded with a yes, to which Diddy remarked, “That means she’s talking to you, huh?”
The singer-songwriter explained that she and Cassie collaborated on a song titled “Loyal,” which Diddy did not like. Redd then shared Cassie’s lyrics for the first verse, which went:
“I don’t know what is real, I just know how I feel, and you keep acting like you don’t know what you did wrong, trying to get me to chill. Since we ain’t been together, I been on some whatever.”
Tiffany went on to describe her encounter with Diddy’s security guards, where one of them approached her, saying, “I heard a lot about you, Tiffany,” which ultimately creeped her out and, to her, was “super intimidating.” She stated:
“It felt like you both wanted me to know that you knew who I was and you didn’t like how close I was to her.”
The ‘Blind Dragon’ Incident
After those events transpired, it was alleged that Cassie expressed a desire to go to a karaoke spot called Blind Dragon on Sunset Blvd with friends.
Diddy, however, was displeased with Cassie’s decision to leave, and his entourage hovered over her, attempting to discourage her from doing so. Shortly after their departure, Diddy followed the two. Allegedly, Diddy pulled Cassie out of the private karaoke room, and Tiffany claimed that Cassie appeared afraid.
The karaoke night was abruptly cut short, prompting Cassie to ask Tiffany and two other friends if they would meet her back at her place and stay the night. Cassie explained that she planned to stop to grab a bag and then leave with Diddy. Tiffany stated:
“Prior to this incident, she had confided in me that you were physically abusive, and the way you were that night was alarming to me. I didn’t want to leave her alone.” Tiffany ultimately went to Cassie’s home, where she claimed she was awakened by Diddy screaming, saying, “Emotional singing bitch, where are you?!” As Tiffany walked out of the bedroom, Diddy said to her, “Emotional singing b*tch, there you are.”
She explained that Diddy appeared intoxicated, and Cassie seemed “withdrawn and sedated.” He then started yelling at them, saying:
“Tell your girl she wants some birthday d*ck. I flew all the way from Miami. She’s going to get this birthday d*ck.” Tiffany told him, “She doesn’t have to have sex with you if she doesn’t want to.”
As Diddy continued to scream, “She’s going to get this d*ck.” Following those events, it was alleged that Cassie told Tiffany that Diddy made her participate in a “Freak Off,” as mentioned in the lawsuit, where Diddy would allegedly force Cassie to have sex with male prostitutes.
‘You’re Right, Puff. Enough is Enough’
As all of these events unfolded, Tiffany also revealed that she was part of Cassie’s management team in 2019, which was a year after Cassie left Diddy. She claimed she saw the mogul try to “silence” the R&B singer by attempting to “tie a non-disparagement clause to the record deal termination agreement.” She felt it was “unjust.”
Following the release of the letter, Tiffany Red has taken to social media to further highlight it. She took to Instagram, writing, “You’re right, Puff. Enough is Enough,” which alludes to Diddy’s statement as he broke his silence since his fourth sexual abuse allegation was publicized.
She continued, “#Free, Love you Cas, Pause to read. Thank you, GOD, for holding me through this. Thank you @rollingstone for giving my voice and my story a platform. Thank you to my support system and @the100percenters_ team, as this journey has been heavy. #Diddy.”

Diddy’s Ex-Bodyguard Accuses Hip-Hop Mogul Of Plotting To Exploit Danity Kane Members
Diddy, the renowned music mogul, is mired in controversy once again as shocking allegations emerge from his former bodyguard, Gene Deal. In a recent interview, Deal claimed that the hip-hop mogul had planned to hook all the members of the girl group Danity Kane on drugs and exploit them by pimping them out to his acquaintances.

This hair-raising revelation comes amidst a lawsuit filed by R&B singer and former girlfriend Cassie, who accused Diddy of physical and sexual abuse during their decade-long relationship.
As more details unfold, it becomes evident that Diddy’s dark secrets are gradually coming to light. Horrifying accusations have surfaced from Diddy’s former bodyguard, Gene Deal, shedding light on a disturbing plan to use and exploit the members of Danity Kane.
Deal revealed in a recent interview with The Art of Dialogue that Diddy had made explicit remarks, stating:
“Imma drug them out and pimp them out to my n*ggas,” allegedly referring to the girl group members.
NDAs
Danity Kane, originally formed and created by Bad Boy Records, consisted of Aubrey O’Day, Dawn Richard, Shannon Bex, D. Woods, and Aundrea Fimbres.
The group experienced commercial success with hit singles such as “Damaged” and “Show Stopper.” Moreover, the claims made by Gene Deal suggest that only some of the members of Danity Kane signed non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). He stated:
“They have NDAs, non-disclosures, but there are some artists that didn’t say anything , didn’t sign it, and they are able to talk about anything they want to. And they were these girls, Danity Kane, I think a couple of them didn’t sign it. They’re probably going to go after him too.”
Former member Aubrey O’Day previously disclosed in September 2023 that she did not sign an NDA, revealing that Bad Boy Records had approached her regarding relinquishing her publishing rights but insisted that she should sign an NDA in exchange.
