Slim Thug Apologizes To Cassie For Publicly Defended Diddy

May 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Slim Thug made headlines for the wrong reason in November 2023. The veteran rapper posted a video to his Instagram in which he cast doubt on the accusations against Diddy. He theorized Cassie, who had just filed a lawsuit against the music mogul, was doing so without having legitimate grips. The internet criticized Thug, and felt like he was being insensitive to the victim of someone who had already been overpowered by Diddy’s connections.

Slim Thug went as far as to compare Diddy to Bill Cosby, in terms of innocence. The comparison is not flattering, but the rapper ran with it. “Bill Cosby is not guilty of all that sh*t,” he wrote in his post. “They were getting high with him. Having fun with him, turning up with him. When they went broke, they tryna do all this extra sh*t.” Cassie was somebody that Thug put in the “extra sh*t” camp. Thug doubled down on his statements when the critiques filled his comment section, but he has since changed his tune. The footage that was released on May 17 changed his mind, along with the rest of the world.

Slim Thug Admitted To Being On “Wrong Side” Of Time

The footage, which was aired on CNN, shows Diddy violently assaulting Cassie as she waits for a hotel elevator. It’s highly disturbing, and serves as proof for all of the claims that the singer previously made against Diddy.

The footage was so damning that Slim Thug felt the need to issue an apology to Cassie via Instagram. “Damn Diddy I tried to ride with the Blk man who had no charges yet but I can’t stand behind this,” he explained. “I’ll take this L. But I still will ride with my ppl until I see some sort of proof I don’t believe in blogs or civil suits.” The rapper then addressed Cassie directly. “Apologies to Cassie and whoever else was on the right side this time,” he added.

Slim Thug’s opinion of Diddy has understandably shifted after seeing the CNN footage. Thug previously criticized those who were championing Diddy’s downfall. “He thought that we would ride or die for him. He thought that the world of Hip-Hop would stay down,” the rapper posited back in March. “This dude is on the list of the worst people in the world right now without no criminal charges.” We at least have to give it to Slim Thug for admitting he was wrong in this instance.

Perez Hilton Claims Diddy Paid Hotel $50K To Withhold Assault Footage

May 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The revelations keep rolling in. The May 17 news cycle has been dominated by the CNN video of Diddy assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway. The music mogul punches and kicks the singer is security footage that dates back to March 2016. Some fans are relieved that damning evidence against Diddy has finally been released, while others have questioned why it took nearly a decade to see the light of day. Perez Hilton claims to have information on this very valid question.

Hilton got on Instagram Live to address the Diddy footage, and shed light on why the public had never seen it before. “According to Cassie,” the celebrity blogger stated. “In the lawsuit that she filed last year against Diddy, she claims that Diddy paid the hotel to get that footage. He gave them $50K and problem solved. He was in possession of that footage.” Perez Hilton stated that the footage was confiscated by the government during the raid on Diddy’s homes in March 2024. It then made its way to CNN.

“What I believe happened was, in the recent raid of Diddy’s multiple properties, the government came into possession of that and somebody there leaked it,” Hilton added. The blogger went on to attack the people who helped to cover up Diddy’s crime. “Everybody at that hotel in Los Angeles should be held criminally responsible for this,” he asserted. “They had an obligation to report a crime and they didn’t. Shame on them.”

IHG Hotels, the chain Diddy and Cassie were staying at during the altercation, issued a statement. They told People Magazine that were not aware of what transpired with the Los Angeles staff. “This hotel is no longer under IHG management,” the statement read. “And we do not have any access to prior incident records or footage.”

Cassie’s attorney, Douglas H. Wigdor, also spoke to the outlet. He praised his client’s courage, and hoped it would lead to her seeing justice served. “Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light,” he noted.

Stephen A Smith Claims Diddy’s Career Is Over After Assault Footage

May 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Diddy bombshell has taken over popular culture. Celebrities are coming out of the woodwork to voice their disgust over the footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway. Other executives like Wack 100 have warned Diddy that he’s going to get what’s coming to him. Artists who worked under the Bad Boy mogul, like Aubrey O’Day, suggest that there are more horror stories to be revealed. Then there are the Stephen A Smiths of the world, who plainly state that Diddy’s career is done for.

Stephen A Smith addressed the Diddy footage on the May 17 taping of his show. He did not mince words. As far as he’s concerned, it’s a wrap. “I declare, right here,” he explained. “Over these digital airwaves of YouTube, that the career of Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs, as we know it, it’s over.” Smith believes that the new footage that has surfaced is so damning that no amount of rehabilitation or rebranding can bring Diddy back. “This sh*t is over,” he elaborated. “It’s over in the worst possible way… One of the worst possible ways you can imagine.”

Stephen A Smith Compared Diddy To NFL Star Ray Rice

Stephen A Smith recounted the footage that was exclusively obtained by CNN, and the public outcry that has resulted. He then compared Diddy to the harrowing case of NFL star Ray Rice. “Remember Ray Rice? Remember what happened,” he asked the viewers. “Late 2014 when his girl was in the elevator and she either shoved him or hit him and then he check-left-hooked her? And hit her, and knocked her face into the bar inside the elevator? She hit her head to it and then she laid on the floor, unconscious? In the elevator, straight up, knocked out.” Smith then asserted that the Diddy footage is “worse.”

Smith’s opinion walks back previous comments he made about Diddy. During a March interview, the sports commentator claimed that Diddy would have an easier time mounting a comeback than Kanye West, who had been disgraced over numerous antisemitic remarks. He did, however, note that he did not have all the facts on the Diddy allegations. “If they charge him with something,” he qualified. “We can’t think like that. That’s a different ballgame.” Well, due to the footage, it is now a different ballgame.

Aubrey O’Day Claims To Have More Diddy Stories After Footage Surfaces

May 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The remains of Diddy’s public goodwill crumbled on May 17. Footage was released by CNN that showed the mogul beating up his former girlfriend, Cassie, in a hallway. There’s been a tidal wave of backlash as a result, with artists denouncing Diddy or reaffirming their dislike of the disgraced Bad Boy founder. Aubrey O’Day falls under the latter. The former Danity Kane singer took to social media to voice her support for Cassie, and to assure the public that the footage does not surprise her one bit.

O’Day made her stance against Diddy clear on X (formerly Twitter). She assured her followers that she her heart goes out to Cassie. She also noted that she has yet to fully divulge what she has witnessed with regards to Diddy’s behavior. “The picture is getting a lot more clear for you all I can imagine,” she wrote. “I’ll remind you that i haven’t spoken on my personal experience yet either. Prayers up for all his victims.”

Aubrey O’Day Hasn’t Discussed Her Diddy Experience Yet

Aubrey O’Day by no means wanted to take away from the case at hand. When one user voiced regret over not believing the singer’s claims earlier, O’Day reassured them. “Let’s focus on changing the system now,” she stated. “So no one has enough power to bury or discredit voices.” She went on to like tweets from other fans that supported these perspective. One of the liked tweets read: “I can only imagine what Danity Kane and all the girls and men went through in Making The Band. Thoughts and prayers to you love.”

O’Day has spent years attempting to expose Diddy. She worked closely with the mogul when she was in the group Danity Kane, and made it clear that he was a terror behind closed doors. In the TMZ film TMZ Presents: The Downfall of Diddy, O’Day claimed that she was given a chance to buy her publishing back in exchange for her public silence. “It asked me specifically to stay silent and never speak poorly about a human,” she revealed. “So then I realized, something really bad is coming.” Well, Aubrey O’Day’ instincts proved to be spot on. Something really bad is here.

Wack 100 Obliterates Diddy After Disturbing Footage Surfaces

May 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Diddy footage that surfaced on May 17 shocked the music world. The footage in question sees Diddy physically attack Cassie in a hotel hallway. Whatever uncertainty people had about Diddy’s guilt in relation to the accusations that have been leveled, it has been squashed. Wack 100 is a music executive who has been in the industry almost almost as long as Diddy, and he didn’t mince any words when it came to his public reaction. He was horrified by what he saw.

Wack 100, real name Cash Jones, took to Instagram Live to air out his thoughts. “Diddy,” he says to the camera. “I just seen that video. You’s a b*tch a*s n**ga. And I hope, if whatever happens to you happens to you, I hope Big Freddy and Deebo Eddie strap your a*s down. And I hope nobody come help your a*s.” It’s an absolutely withering thing to say about someone publicly, but given the footage of Diddy, it’s easy to see why Wack 100 is so upset. “It’s going down,” he assured the mogul. “You did this.”

Wack 100 Hopes Bad Things Happen To Diddy

This is not the first time Wack 100 has put Diddy on blast. He recently blew up the mogul’s spot on the Jason Lee Show. Wack 100 claimed that Diddy was bisexual and had relationships with several men in the industry, including Meek Mill. He attacked Diddy and Meek relentlessly over the past few months, leaving comments on both of their social media accounts. When Diddy’s house got raided in March, the music executive tweeted: “For Meek Mill’s sake I hope Diddy no Diddy got rid of those photos & tapes.”

He also theorized that Cassie’s lawsuit was an attempt at extortion, which has not aged well given the recent footage. Wack 100 thought the singer may have been trying to leverage her knowledge about Diddy’s sexual habits for $30 million, but it appears Wack 100 has changed his tune on the matter. He now believes Cassie, and as one can tell from the IG Live, is hoping that Diddy eventually gets what’s coming his way.

Cassie’s Husband Shares Letter Condemning Domestic Violence In Response To Leaked Diddy Video

May 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In a year full of controversy for Diddy things seemingly continue to get worse for the rapper. It started late last year when the first in a series of lawsuits was filed against him. That came from Cassie, who accused him of some pretty serious abusive behavior. An even more serious lawsuit accusing him of rape decades ago followed. Eventually, his former collaborator Lil Rod filed a lawsuit that contained some of the most eye-catching allegations. All of that turned out to just be the lead up to two of the rap mogul’s properties being raided by the FBI in connection with an investigation into allegations of sex trafficking.

Earlier today the news for Diddy got even worse. That came when CNN shared a video of the rap mogul allegedly physically assaulting Cassie captured from a hotel security camera. The video immediately went viral as fans reacted to what is essentially proof of some of the allegations she made in her lawsuit last year. One person who reacted to it is Cassie’s own husband Alex Fine. He took to Instagram to share a letter he previously wrote that condemns domestic violence in incredibly strong terms. Check out the full statement he shared below.

“Men who hit women aren’t men. Men who enable it and protect those people aren’t men. As men violence against women shouldn’t be inevitable, check your brothers, your friends, and your family,” Fine’s statement begins. In the comments, fans show love to his remarks. “‘Men who hurt women, hate women.’ But more importantly hate themselves” one commenter suggests. “Alex saved her, God bless them. That’s a MAN!” another fan’s supportive comment towards Alex reads.

What do you think of Cassie’s husband sharing a letter strongly condemning domestic violence just a few hours after a new video of Diddy assaulting her leaked? Do you think the newly released video will worsen any potential consequences for Diddy? Let us know in the comment section below.

Diddy’s Alleged Abuse Of His Ex Cassie Is Seemingly Confirmed In A Hotel Hallway Security Video

May 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Music producer Sean “Diddy” Combs’ alleged abuse of his ex Cassie Ventura has seemingly been confirmed by a hotel hallway security video that was obtained and circulated by CNN. The television report contained a clip of the video, in which Diddy throws Cassie to the ground and then stomps on her. You can see the clip below.

BREAKING

CNN has obtained footage of Diddy repeatedly beating his then girlfriend Cassie in a hotel hallway.

I want to note that Kimora Lee Simmons has warned people about Diddy’s conduct for years, and she has either been attacked for doing so or ignored. Diddy also… pic.twitter.com/VS6rXczXWo

— Yashar Ali (@yashar) May 17, 2024

Ventura had previously filed a lawsuit against Combs alleging physical abuse and sexual assault by the music impresario; although Combs denied the charges, he also quickly settled the lawsuit less than a day after it had been reported by news publications. While Diddy’s lawyer argued that his settlement was not an admission of guilt, it looks like at least one of those alleged incidents has been confirmed.

Since then, Diddy has been the target of a slew of new lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct and violent behavior, including accusations from at least one woman who said he assaulted her when she was underage.

Combs and Ventura had a long, tumultuous relationship, with her claims against him later receiving support from songwriter Tiffany Red, who corroborated incidents in which Combs threatened them both. Another accusation from Cassie’s lawsuit, that Combs had rapper Kid Cudi’s car bombed in a fit of jealousy, was also seemingly confirmed by Cudi himself.

Diddy is also apparently under investigation by federal authorities after claims of sex trafficking were leveled against him by some of the lawsuits, with agents raiding multiple properties owned by the music mogul.

Diddy Has Reportedly Filed To Have The Jane Doe Sexual Assault Lawsuit Dismissed Citing Multiple Reasons

May 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Since November 2023, Diddy has been drowning in a sea of lawsuits. While Cassie’s bombshell case with the tipping point, unfortunately for the former head of Revolt it wasn’t the last (see more here). Now, the “Act Bad” rapper and his legal team are working their way through each case in court.

According to TMZ, yesterday (May 10), Diddy’s attorneys reportedly filed have the sexual assault allegations submitted by a Jane Doe dismissed. This marks the second attempt by Diddy to have the courts toss out an alleged victims’ claims. Similar to his first dismissal filing (in a separate case), in documents Diddy’s attorneys argue that the statute of limitations basis for Doe’s lawsuit has lapsed. The representatives also argue that Doe “didn’t include many pertinent details outside of her alleged assault.” Lastly, they maintain Diddy did not do what Doe alleged.

Read the full statement take from within the paperwork below.

The sparse amendments to the original Complaint cannot remedy the falsehoods and incurable defects in the new pleading. Like the original Complaint, it fails to state any viable claim and must be dismissed.

Plaintiff cannot allege what day or time of year the alleged incident occurred, yet purports to miraculously recall the most prurient details with specificity. Accordingly, this case should be dismissed now, with prejudice, to protect the Combs Defendants from further reputational injury and before more party and judicial resources are squandered.

In Doe’s original filing she claimed to have met Bad Boy Records president Harve Pierre in Detroit back in 2003 when she was 17 years old. After that interaction, Doe stated she was flown to New York City and taken to Diddy’s studio. Once there Doe alleged she was supplied with drugs and alcohol then gang raped. Doe included photos from the alleged night in her lawsuit.

Diddy’s Lawyers Have Reportedly Filed A Motion To Have Several Claims In ‘Revenge Porn’ Lawsuit Dismissed

April 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s legal team is attempting to chip away at the mounting claims stacked against him. Following the bombshell lawsuit filed by his former Bad Boy Records signee Cassie, Diddy was named in several similar sexual assault cases. While, the mogul quickly settled with his ex-girlfriend, Diddy seems to be preparing to fight the outstanding allegations in a court of law.

However, according to AP News, Diddy’s lawyers are looking to reduce the amount of allegations made against him.

The outlet reports that on April 26, Diddy’s legal filed a motion to have the claims made by Joi Dickerson-Deal, including revenge porn and human trafficking, to be dismissed with prejudice. On November 23, Dickerson-Deal issued a lawsuit against Diddy (obtained by Rolling Stone), in which she alleged that Diddy drugged and sexual assaulted. She also claims that the encounter was filmed and shared by Diddy amongst his close associates.

In the motion, Diddy’s lawyers reportedly argued that he “cannot be sued because certain laws didn’t exist when Joi Dickerson-Deal made the allegations against him in 1991,” referring to revenge porn which wasn’t signed in to New York state law (the place of filing) until 2019.

“Without addressing the Complaint’s numerous false, offensive, and salacious accusations, which the Combs Defendants vehemently deny, substantially all of the claims purportedly alleged by Joi Dickerson-Neal (“Plaintiff” or “Dickerson”) cannot survive this Motion to Dismiss because they were brought under statutes that did not exist at the time the alleged misconduct occurred and against corporate entities that were not formed or in existence,” read the motion.

Dickerson-Deal’s attorney has not issued a public statement regarding the motion.
