Diddy’s Latest Accuser Claims To Have Evidence Of Alleged Attack

May 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Things keep getting worse for Diddy. The mogul was caught assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie, in a video that was obtained by CNN, and now he’s facing sexual assault charges. This is only the latest suit to be filed against Diddy on grounds of drugging and assault. His latest accuser, however, claims to have proof in the form of sealed clothing. According to reporter Meghann Cuniff, Diddy’s accuser says she saved the clothes she wore the night she attended his afterparty.

Context is crucial here. Crystal McKinney filed a suit claiming that she was drugged and forced to perform oral sex on Diddy at a 2003 social event. She recalled waking up in a taxi cab the morning after Diddy allegedly forced himself on her, and is seeking undisclosed damages as a result. McKinney claims that she struggled to find work as a model after the incident, and was driven to attempt suicide just one year later.

The Accuser Preserved Her Clothing From Diddy’s Alleged Assault

Here’s the new federal lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs, filed in the Southern District of New York.

What makes McKinney different from Diddy’s previous accusers, however, is the evidence she reportedly possesses. The lawsuit claims that has preserved her outfit over two decades, so it can be submitted as evidence. “Due to the traumatic events to occur later,” the suit explained. “Plaintiff saved the unwashed clothes from that night in her closet, where they remain in a plastic bag.” The clothing included “a black leather coat with fur hood, translucent chiffon beige v-cut shirt, fur-lined handbag, and jewel-encrusted jeans.”

If true, this piece of evidence could spell legal trouble for Diddy. The Bad Boy founder has managed to avoid official charges thus far, despite being sued by several women dating back to November 2023. He even issued an apology via Instagram. The apology was in direct response to the Cassie video.

Diddy is so vague in his wording, however, that it can’t help but be read more broadly. “I was disgusted then when I did it. I’m disgusted now,” he said. “I went and I sought out professional help. Got into going to therapy, going to rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry.” McKinney isn’t swayed by the apology. The former model intends to be compensated for what she went through. Diddy has not yet responded to the suit.

Cassie’s Former Makeup Artist Reveals Grisly Details About Diddy Attack

May 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s been less than a week since the Diddy and Cassie footage aired on CNN, but the fallout is still being felt. The latter’s career is effectively over, with nearly every famous musician in the industry denouncing him for his heinous actions. Diddy tried to apologize, but the public is paying far more attention to those who worked under him, and have painted a picture of the mogul as a manipulator. Mylah Morales is one of these former employees. She was Cassie’s makeup artist when the 2016 incident between Cassie and Diddy transpired, and she recently opened up about her experiences.

Morales went on Extra TV to discuss the CNN footage on May 21. She confirmed that she was with the famous couple the day of the physical altercation, and was confronted by the mogul shortly before he went after Cassie. “I don’t even want to go back to it because it’s triggering,” she admitted. “All I [saw] was him walking into the room and saying, ‘Where the f*ck is she.’ I didn’t know what was going on.” Morales was then tasked with trying to help Cassie after she had been viciously attacked by Diddy.

Mylah Morales Claimed She Couldn’t Take Cassie To A Hospital

The makeup artist told the Extra TV host that Cassie wasn’t allowed to go to the hospital. “I called my friend, a doctor at the time, to treat her because we couldn’t bring her to the hospital,” she recalled. “We didn’t know what the hell to do at that point. Who are we going to call. I’m scared just even talking about this, but I feel like somebody has to.” Morales also recalled the physical condition Cassie was in after the Diddy attack. “She was bruised,” she admitted. “I mean, badly bruised, like knots on her head, a black eye.”

Cassie ultimately recovered at Morales’ home. “All I cared about was to get her to safety,” the latter said. “And I took her into my house and kept her there for a few days.” As far as Diddy’s recent apology for the 2016 incident goes, Morales could care less. “That’s ridiculous, he didn’t even mention her name,” she pointed out. “And if he was apologetic about it, he would mention her name, but he didn’t. That’s what I don’t understand… Just a PR stunt.”

50 Cent Jokes About Diddy’s Suicide After Latest Lawsuit

May 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nobody trolls harder than 50 Cent. He’s unrivaled when it comes to making other rappers look bad. Not that Diddy needs help in this regard. The Bad Boy founder lost all of his goodwill with the public after the harrowing footage of him attacking Cassie was aired on CNN. The statute of limitations on the attack will keep Diddy from facing legal repercussions, but his troubles are far from over. The man formerly known as Puff Daddy has been accused of drugging and assaulting a woman over two decades ago, and 50 had something to say. Of course he did.

Shortly after the new Diddy accusations rolled in, 50 Cent reposted the story on his Instagram. “Got damn boy another one,” he wrote in the caption. The G-Unit mastermind then dished out his darkest insult to date, alluding to Diddy’s potential suicide. “This my last puffy post I think he might kill himself,” he explained. “I don’t want no parts of that.” The post has since been deleted.

50 Cent Claimed He Didn’t Want To Spur Diddy’s Death

50 Cent comments on Diddy’s latest lawsuit, filed by a former model alleging Diddy drugged and sexually assaulted her in 2003.

“Got damn boy another one, this my last puffy post I think he might kill himself. I don’t want no parts of that.” pic.twitter.com/VmB5l2x62v

— No Jumper (@nojumper) May 21, 2024

50’s joke divided the fans in his comment section. Some thought it was fitting, and urged him to keep dismantling Diddy’s reputation, while others felt it went a little too far. “It’s too late. Suicides not a joke,” wrote one disturbed user. “You’re taking things too far.” Another simply wrote: “50 you’re an actual MENACE.”

50 Cent has had something to say about each new Diddy accusation that surfaces. He was one of the countless industry figures who were horrified by the aforementioned assault footage. He also noted that the footage was released to the public despite the fact that it no longer carries legal weight. The rapper does not think this decision was coincidental. “This is why they put that tape out,” he wrote on X. “They know they can’t charge him with what we saw, but they know we can’t un see what we saw.”

50 was also critical of Diddy’s public apology. The latter posted an Instagram video in which he chalked up his abuse of Cassie to a “dark period” in his life, and the public didn’t buy it. The general consensus was that Diddy was only apologizing (and poorly, at that) because he got caught. The “P.I.M.P.” rapper agreed. “This is not going to work,” he wrote on Instagram. “Who is advising him right now? SMH bad move.”

Diddy Sued By Woman Who Claims He Drugged And Assaulted Her

May 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy is in more hot water. The music mogul become persona non grata after footage of him beating his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, surfaced on CNN. He’s tried to sweep things under the rug and issue an IG apology, yet the public is not buying it. Many want to see Diddy face legal repercussions for what he did to Cassie, but the LAPD clarified that they cannot make an arrest due to how long ago the incident took place. This, however, has not stopped other women from coming with other allegations against Diddy.

On May 21, Crystal McKinney filed a lawsuit in which she claimed to have been drugged and sexually assaulted by the Bad Boy founder. The model claimed that she encountered Diddy at a Men’s Fashion Week event in 2003, and was invited back to his studio for an afterparty. While there, Diddy gave her drinks and various items to smoke. McKinney recalls taking a hit from a joint she described as “very powerful,” and believes that it was laced with various narcotics.

Crystal McKinney Claims Diddy Ruined Her Career

Diddy took her to a bathroom and allegedly tried to force himself on McKinney. The model claimed that he shoved her head down into his crotch. He then ordered her, allegedly, to “suck it.” McKinney states in the lawsuit that she lost consciousness shortly after the incident. She woke up the next day in a taxi cab. Per TMZ, it hasn’t been made clear whether McKinney’s assault allegations stemmed from the bathroom encounter or another unspecified incident involving Diddy.

McKinney claimed that she was subsequently blacklisted in the modeling industry. She struggled to find work after her encounter with Diddy and noted that she attempted suicide in 2004. The former model is seeking unspecified damages as a result. McKinney’s allegations fall in line with previous suits brought against Diddy. In November 2023, two women sued the mogul for assault, beatings and forced drugging in the 1990s. A month later, an unnamed woman claimed that he and two other men assaulted her when she was a teenager. He has not been formally charged in any of these cases.

Diddy’s Case Could Be Harmed By Leaked Cassie Video, According To Ex-Prosecutor

May 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Over the weekend a leaked video of Diddy became a lightning rod for reactions from the rap media at large. That’s because the clip showed hotel security camera footage of the rap mogul allegedly assaulting Cassie. It corroborated allegations that she first made in a lawsuit filed against the rap mogul last year. Though the suit was settled quickly, it became the first in a series of lawsuits filed alleging decades of bad behavior. The most notable was Lil Rod’s lawsuit filed in February which made some pretty outlandish claims related to some other celebs.

Much more pressing for Diddy himself though is the federal investigation into allegations of sex trafficking against him. It first became public knowledge back in March when the Feds raided two of his properties in Miami and LA. In response to the new video, TMZ recruited an expert in former federal prosecutor Katie Cherkasky. She discussed the implications of the new video on the investigation into the rapper by the federal government. While she clarified that it isn’t a “smoking gun” for the specific investigation he’s facing, it won’t do him any favors both in the public eye and in the still very much ongoing investigation. Check out everything she had to say below.

Ex-Federal Prosecutor Discusses Leaked Diddy Video

The new video of Diddy has sparked numerous intense reactions from various figures in the rap world. Charlamagne The God didn’t mince words when he dismantled the rap mogul’s apology, calling it dishonest. Aubrey O’Day similarly held onto receipts of a previously pinned post on Diddy’s Instagram. His previous complete denial of the allegations before there was video evidence contrasts harshly with his apology.

What do you think of the ex-federal prosecutors claim that the video of Diddy allegedly assaulting Cassie won’t bury him, but is still a very bad look? What kind of consequences, if any, do you think he will face for all of the recent drama? Let us know in the comment section below.

Common Explains Why He Won’t Watch Diddy And Cassie Video

May 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Everyone in the rap world is discussing the newly leaked Diddy and Cassie video, at least, almost everyone is. Over the weekend CNN shared a difficult to watch new clip of hotel security camera footage showing the rap mogul allegedly assaulting Cassie. The video mirrored allegations that Cassie made last year when she sued Diddy, which served as the first of multiple lawsuits that emerged against him in the months following. But not everyone is following the developments so closely.

Recently. TMZ caught up with Common where they asked him a few questions. He kicked the interaction off with an expert dodging of some proposal questions, instead promoting his upcoming album with Pete Rock which is coming this summer. For their next question, the interviewers just assume that he’s been following the developing situation surrounding Diddy. But the “GO!” rapper actually clarifies that he hasn’t seen the video yet. He reveals that he avoids things with negative vibes and instead chooses to focus on positivity. When asked if Diddy should get another chance in music, he pretty humbly suggests that it isn’t his place to judge and that he has no authority on the situation. Check out his full interview below.

Common Isn’t Here For Negative Vibes

Though Common isn’t engaging with the Diddy situation directly, plenty of others are. That’s included numerous incredibly strongly-worded refutations of his apology in particular. Aubrey O’Day has been one of the loudest critics of Diddy and she unsurprisingly had thoughts on his apology. She called is dishonest and pointed out his complete denial of the claims made by Cassie back when there was no video evidence. Charlamagne The God made similar claims about the authenticity of the feelings going into his apology.

What do you think of Common avoiding watching the Diddy and Cassie video that the rap world has been talking about altogether? Do you agree with his philosophy to only focus on things that are bringing a positive energy? Let us know in the comment section below.

Diddy’s Music To Be Removed From All Future Peloton Classes

May 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Everyone is reacting to the newest developments in the ongoing drama that has plagued Diddy since last year. It was months ago back in 2023 when the damn first broke. That started with a lawsuit filed against the rap mogul by Cassie last year. That turned out to be the first in an ongoing series of accusations being made by various people claiming decades of bad behavior. It peaked back in March when two of his properties were raided by the federal government as part of an investigation into allegations of sex trafficking.

But over the weekend the Cassie case was brought back into the light. That sparked from the release of a leaked video of hotel security camera footage showing the assault that was alleged in the lawsuit. It led to a brand new wave of backlash from the rap world. Diddy attempted to apologize for his actions in the video but his apology was also roundly rejected by many, People like Aubrey O’Day and Charlamagne The God picked apart why they think he was being disingenuous.

There’s Reportedly A Legal Reason Diddy Didn’t Mention Cassie By Name In His Apology Video

May 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last week, a hotel security video from 2016 surfaced, and it showed Diddy physically assaulting Cassie. Days later, Diddy shared an apology video, but curiously, he didn’t actually mention Cassie by name in it. That rubbed some the wrong way, but it turns out Diddy may not have even been allowed to say her name.

Back in November, Diddy and Cassie reached a settlement over Cassie’s lawsuit alleging abuse. As TMZ reports, according to “sources familiar with the agreement,” the settlement “includes a very strict NDA, which prevents both of them from speaking about each other in public.”

The publication also relays that Diddy’s attorneys “very closely reviewed his video apology before it was posted,” to make sure it was in compliance with the NDA and didn’t mention Cassie by name, even though Diddy reportedly wanted to address her directly.

Futhermore, Diddy is still facing other lawsuits, so his legal team is reportedly “on edge about him making any public statement.”

So, Cassie may not be able to directly respond to Diddy’s video, but her lawyer did, saying in a statement, “Combs’ most recent statement is more about himself than the many people he has hurt. When Cassie and multiple other women came forward, he denied everything and suggested that his victims were looking for a payday. That he was only compelled to ‘apologize’ once his repeated denials were proven false shows his pathetic desperation, and no one will be swayed by his disingenuous words.”

Dr Dre Abuse Victim Dee Barnes Addresses Diddy And Cassie Footage

May 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Dee Barnes is one of the loudest voices when it comes to domestic abuse in hip-hop. She was assaulted by Dr Dre during a 1991 party, and subsequently sued the rapper. He pleased no contest, and went on to have a relatively unscathed career despite his crimes. Dee Barnes is revered for her bravery and her willingness to discuss her experiences. This made her uniquely qualified to speak on the recently released footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway.

Barnes, a former rapper and journalist, shared her thoughts via social media. She made it clear that she was horrified by what she saw on the security footage, as it reminded her of the ordeal she went through decades ago. “Seeing that video is extremely triggering,” she wrote on X. “Dr. Dre punched, slammed, kicked and stomped me out. #Concussion.” Barnes then said that she was getting off social media due to the widespread exposure the footage received. “Logging tf off.”

Dee Barnes Described Diddy’s Behavior As Disgusting

Dee Barnes did, however, return to X the evening of May 19 to voice her support for Cassie. She also made sure to call out Diddy for his horrible actions. “I’m disgusted and disappointed with Sean Combs,” she tweeted. “I stand with #Cassie, #KimPorter and all the other victims of his violent abuse.” This was tweeted shortly after Diddy issued a public apology in the form of an Instagram video. The mogul tried to address the assault footage and the other crimes he’s been accused of, but the response to the apology has been overwhelmingly negative.

Barnes was similarly skeptical when Dr. Dre issued a public apology in 2015. The producer addressed his violent past during a profile with the New York Times, and claimed he had changed in the ensuring years. “I was a young man drinking too much and in over my head with no real structure in my life,” he claimed. However, none of this is an excuse for what I did… I’m doing everything I can so I never resemble that man again.” Barnes responded to the apology with a curt: “I hope he means it.”

Cam’ron Calls Out CNN Reporter For Asking Him About Diddy

May 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cam’ron just blessed CNN viewers with one of the most bizarre interviews in recent memory. The rapper went on to discuss the footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie, but the longer the interview went, the more he became annoyed with the reporter. It got so awkward between Cam and the reporter that the former actually looked offscreen and asked how he got booked for the interview in the first place.

Cam’ron has an increased media profile thanks to his podcast with Mase, It Is What It Is. The duo talked about the Diddy and Cassie situation on the air, but the rapper did not seem thrilled to be rehashing it by himself on CNN. He made it clear that he didn’t condone Diddy’s actions in the video. “Everything in the video is egregious,” he noted. “I’m against. So when I saw the video I was kinda upset being that I know him.” Cam’ron clarified that he does not consider Diddy to be a friend or a close associate.

The rapper was asked if he was surprised by the Diddy footage based on his personal experiences. He did not appreciate this line of questioning. “I didn’t know him like that,” he added. “What you mean my experiences? I seen him and I thought it was disgusting.” Cam’ron’s agitation seemingly grew with each subsequent question.

The reported brought up Diddy’s history of mistreating his artists, and Cam’ron made her wait while he drank his Pink Horse Power sex supplement. He then redirected the question to his pod partner, Mase, citing that most of what he heard about Diddy came through him. “I appreciate what Mase said,” he clarified. “And that’s my brother.”

Cam tried to plug his podcast, but the wheels didn’t come off until the end. The reporter noted that Diddy would not have been able to get away with his crimes unless people protected him in the industry. She asked if Cam agreed with this, and he decided he’d had enough. “Who the talent agent for this joint,” he retorted. “You think I be sitting around… watching what Diddy do.” He then looked offscreen and asked: “Who booked me for this joint?” Things wrapped up then and there. The reporter thanked Cam’ron for his time, and it’s safe to assume he won’t be returning to the network anytime soon.
