Speaking with NBC News, Tiffany Red, one of Cassie’s friends, spoke out in light of the assault lawsuit filed by the singer. In the interview, Red reveals she was a witness to verbal abuse during the time she served as a songwriter for Cassie.
Red says during Cassie’s 29th bithday celebration, Diddy showed up to a karoake bar and cursed her out in front of her friends. Red stated later that night, she awoke to the sound of screaming in Cassie’s home as she stayed as a guest, revealing she saw Cassie in a sedated state. Claiming Diddy sounded like a “monster” at the time, Red said he asked her to tell Cassie that she wanted “some birthday dick.”
“I’m like, she doesn’t have to have sex with you if she doesn’t want to,” Red said. She stated that she found out the truth of the situation recently, claiming Diddy wanted her to participate in a “freak off.”
Red stated Diddy would hire sex workers to have sex with Cassie, in which he would watch and direct the event. “She told me the only time he was willing to do anything, work on her music, or go through plans was when she had a freak off,” Red said.
“To find out that like I spent all these years writing these songs for him to rape my friend to is just disgusting to think about,” Red said.
50 Cent’s tirade against Diddy doesn’t seem to be slowing any time soon. Recent serious allegations made against Diddy in a series of lawsuits have reinvigorated 50’s beef with him and he pops up on an almost daily basis to take shots at the rap mogul on Instagram. A few weeks ago, 50 claimed that he wanted to work on a documentary covering the extent of the allegations with all of the proceeds going to the alleged victims.
It looks like 50 Cent is taking that documentary claim seriously and doing some research. Earlier today he shared a deep dive interview that could potentially be part of the project. “ok this docu is gonna be crazy, I don’t know what else to say. WTF was going on? wait this has to be fact-checked be fair” 50 captioned a video he shared. In the clip itself, a Florida inmate makes some wild claims about reportedly having sexual encounters with Diddy and Cassie. While most fans don’t seem to believe what he’s saying, it’s clear that 50 is digging deep to find anything to use against Diddy. Check out the full clip he shared below.
In his trolling campaign against Diddy 50 Cent has deployed a variety of tactics. He’s borrowed videos of a comedian’s jokes about Diddy, shared AI-generated pictures, and even brought Rick Ross into the picture comparing some of his lyrics to Diddy’s actions. Ross didn’t appreciate that and it even sparked a kind of mini beef between the two rappers.
50 Cent also recently teamed up with Nicki Minaj for a remix. The pair did a version of her song “Beep Beep” off her new album Pink Friday 2. The collaboration was originally exclusive to the Pink Friday 2 website. That meant fans were unable to play the track on streaming services. That turned out to be because it was planned for inclusion on the deluxe edition of Pink Friday 2 which dropped over the weekend with two new songs including 50’s remix. What do you think of 50 Cent’s newest bizarre post of an inmate sharing a story about Diddy and Cassie? Let us know in the comment section below.
Below, you can read more about which companies have ended their business partnerships with Diddy, mainly through their membership in his recently launched marketplace, Empower Global — a sort of Amazon for Black-owned companies.
Fulaba
Fulaba’s Haby Barry said she believed Cassie as well as the other accusers, so her jewelry brand “will not associate with anything or anyone that is counter to our values,” which are “all about empowering women and girls.”
House of Takura
A luxury bag company employing artisans in Africa with prints inspired by the local cultures, House of Takura was launched in 2015 by Sierra Leonan immigrant Annette Njau. She told Rolling Stone, “This decision was made on the day that Casandra Ventura filed her lawsuit. We take the allegations against Mr. Combs very seriously and find such behavior abhorrent and intolerable. We believe in victims’ rights, and support victims in speaking their truth, even against the most powerful of people.”
Nuudii System
Nuudii System was founded in 2011 by Annette Azan to offer shapewear that actually embraces womens’ natural shapes rather than change them. Azan also said that she pulled her brand from Empower upon finding out about the initial allegations.
No One Clothiers
Based in Los Angeles, this brand sells high-end shirts, pants, and hats designed to invoke the durability of workwear with the fashion-forward elements of streetwear. Its co-founder Lenard Grier said of the decision to leave Empower Global: “While this decision was difficult due [to] the reverence we once held for Mr. Combs as a leader in business and entertainment, it was clearly the correct choice. Our brand is founded on the belief that every individual is important and worthy of respect, regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, etc. The allegations against Mr. Combs are in direct conflict with these beliefs. In turn, we felt a moral imperative to end our relationship.”
Tsuri
Ashli Goudelock founded her skin-care line with the intention of creating “spa-like experiences from the comfort of your home.” She credits her decision to break from Diddy an obligation “as women-owned and -led company,” saying, “we do not and will not linger in a gray area about the mistreatment of women.”
Word is Cassie Ventura, is allegedly set to make a triumphant return to the music scene, and she’s not doing it alone. After a decade-long legal battle that recently concluded with a settlement against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, Cassie is teaming up with her ex-boyfriend and former collaborator, Ryan Leslie, for what promises to be an exciting musical comeback.
The history between Cassie and Ryan Leslie dates back to 2005 when Leslie brought Cassie to Bad Boy seeking a record deal. However, their professional collaboration took a back seat when Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs entered the scene and famously stole Cassie from Leslie. Now, more than a decade later, the two are rekindling their musical partnership.
TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Ryan Leslie in NYC, where he shared insights into their renewed connection. Leslie revealed that he and Cassie reconnected at the end of 2017, a pivotal moment marked by the passing of their ex-manager, Ed Woods. Since then, it’s apparent that their bond has only strengthened.
The exciting revelation from Leslie is that Cassie is gearing up for a music comeback in the form of a tour. This announcement has sparked speculation about the possibility of new music accompanying her return to the spotlight. Fans can’t help but wonder what musical magic the duo will create together after all these years.
The news of Cassie’s return to the music scene comes on the heels of her settling a $30 million civil lawsuit against Diddy. Now, free from legal battles, Cassie appears ready to reclaim her place in the industry alongside Ryan Leslie, setting the stage for an eagerly anticipated chapter in her musical journey.
A Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and close friend of R&B singerCassie, has released a candid open letter to rap mogulDiddy. 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.” The full letter is available here.

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.
More Shocking Allegations
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.

Diddy’s Former Bodyguard Shares Further Explosive Details On Recent Cassie Allegations
Diddy’s former head of security, Roger Bonds, has taken to social media to speak further on the allegations made by R&B singer and ex-girlfriend Cassie, against the Bad Boy mogul.
Bonds Speaks Out
On Nov. 16, Cassie filed a lawsuit against Diddy, alleging him of sexual and physical abuse throughout their relationship.
The lawsuit was later settled, with the hip-hop mogul agreeing to the terms within 24 hours of it being filed. Following the settlement, Diddy’s former bodyguard, Roger Bonds, decided to share his perspective.
Taking to his Instagram story, Bonds wrote:
“This is not meant to be threats or snitching or anything like that against Cassie or Diddy or anyone else. this is me telling my truth as I truly remember it for 2 reasons only, 1st because I have 4 daughter so on all duded my truth as I seen it, saw it and was involved with it for yrs.” He continued, “Now that my name is involved I will tell my TRUTH.”
The Statement
Cassie’s court document mentioned Bonds as a witness to an alleged assault she claims she suffered at the hands of Diddy in 2009.
According to Cassie, the Bad Boy CEO became violent after learning she was talking to another music manager at a club in Los Angeles. Cassie also alleged that Diddy stomped on her in the car afterward, with Bonds trying to intervene to stop his boss.
In response to Roger Bonds, fans have taken to social media to express their thoughts. One fan named @luckylandtimes wrote, ‘The witness MEN need to be putting a BEAT DOWN on these hitters. Stop turning ya’lls head and school these cowards in real time.”
Another fan named @uzoplease wrote, ‘Diddy’s former bodyguard who Cassie named in her lawsuit is speaking out, long may this continue.”
Another Former Bodyguard Comes Forward?
Another person to speak out about Diddy and Cassie’s relationship is Gene Deal, another former bodyguard of Diddy.
On the Art of Dialogue, Deal alleges that Cassie’s abuse story mirrors that of Diddy’s late baby’s mother, Kim Porter. He claims that Diddy broke Porter’s nose on a yacht, stating:
“That’s Kim story. That’s Kim’s book. Didn’t you hear about the fact that he broke Kim’s nose on a yacht? He continued, “But it was told by people in her camp that he broke Kim’s nose on yacht. So, Cassie’s story is Kim’s story.”

Surviving Diddy: More Reactions To The Music Mogul’s Alleged Abuse
Diddy is facing intense scrutiny as numerous people in the music industry speak out about his alleged abusive behavior. In an unfolding saga being dubbed “Surviving Diddy,” former artists and associates are speaking out after singer/model Cassie filed a lawsuit accusing the music mogul of sexual and physical assault during their 10-year relationship.
Danity Kane Members Speak Out
In the wake of the shocking lawsuit filed by Cassie on Nov. 16, former artists on Diddy’s Bad Boy Records have come forward including members of the female pop group, Danity Kane. The group was prominently featured in the MTV series, Making the Band, where Diddy engaged aspiring singers in a survival-like contest to win a coveted spot in his band and recording deal on Bad Boy Records. DK members have accused him of owing them money and fostering a detrimental atmosphere.
Aubrey O’Day, a member of Danity Kane, shared on her Instagram story on Nov. 16 that she refused to sign an NDA in exchange for her music publishing. She has shared on social media and in interviews of her own abuse by Diddy. O’Day also posted screenshots of phone calls with Willie Taylor of the Bad Boy R&B group Day 26, further suggesting a toxic work environment created by the music mogul.
Dawn Richards, another DK member also took to Twitter (X) to offer prayers for Cassie and her family, expressing her support and admiration for the R&B singer’s bravery.
”Praying for Cassie and her family, for peace and healing. you are beautiful and brave, “Richards commented.
praying for Cassie and her family, for peace and healing. you are beautiful and brave.
Even DK member D.Woods, who has not posted on social media since June 2022, returned to her Twitter (X) account to send kind words to Cassie, expressing her admiration for Cassie’s strength and offering her full support:
“Cassie @cassie You are incredibly brave to shine light on what you endured in the dark. I’m sorry you had to go through it alone. I’m praying for your continued strength and I offer my full support to you,” Woods commented.
More Reactions To Cassie’s Lawsuit Against Diddy
Supermodel and entrepreneur Kimora Lee Simmons took to her Instagram story on Nov. 17 and posted, “As you sow, so shall you reap,” referring to karma for one’s actions and seemingly alluding to the repercussions Diddy might face. Kimora was recently engaged in her own war with former husband, Russell Simmons, who has been accused of similar sexual abuse.
Cassie’s Personal Assistant: “It’s All True”
Additionally, Cassie’s personal assistant, Dexter James, posted multiple phrases on his Instagram story by saying phrases such as “It’s All True!,” and “Surviving Diddy.” James also shared a picture of him and Cassie, calling the allegations true and expressing his support for her.
“ITS ALL TRUE! I was Cassie’s personal assistant and seen a lot during my days beside her! She’s a very strong woman and deserves every penny! The things she endured you could never imagine!”
Cassie’s husband, Alex Fine reposted a picture of them on their wedding day on his Instagram story, giving his support.
‘Damn Brother Love’
On November 16, 50 Cent posted a confused look selfie on his X account to poke fun at Diddy for his latest allegations:
“Damn bother love, brother love, brother love, you out here looking CRAZY AS A MF LMAO,” 50 Cent wrote.
The rapper/television mogul has also shared that he used to be uncomfortable when he was invited to Diddy’s parties.
In October 2023, a clip surfaced of 50 Cent during his Final Lap Tour in Norway, where he expressed his aversion to attending Diddy’s parties. On stage, he stated Diddy’s parties are not his “type of party.”
Keke Palmer’s Mother Threatens To Put ‘A Bullet’ In Ex-Boyfriend’s Head
Instances of abuse are sadly prevalent in the entertainment industry, with actress Keke Palmer recently filing a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson. Jackson, who is also the father of Palmer’s child, has been accused of verbal and physical assault during their relationship, echoing the importance of shedding light on the issue of abuse.
Although “Me & U” singer Cassie Ventura had already agreed to settle her abuse and sexual assault lawsuit against ex-boyfriend Sean “Diddy” Combs, the fallout from the suit refuses to do the same. In the aftermath of the quick settlement, three more women have filed similar lawsuits against Combs. While Combs’ representatives have denied the accusations, calling the lawsuits a string of “money grabs,” Rolling Stone has published an open letter from songwriter Tiffany Red, who worked with Cassie, in which she corroborates some of the singer’s accusations against Diddy.
In the letter, Red cites fears for her safety as her reason for coming forward now; the lawsuit alludes to her while not mentioning her by name. She writes that she hopes that publicly revealing her identity will help protect her. She details how she and Cassie became close while writing songs together in 2015 and how one song in particular, “Loyal,” caught Diddy’s attention as it appeared to push back against the alleged pattern of abuse and manipulation he’d established in their relationship.
Red says Diddy confronted her at a surprise birthday party he threw for Cassie in 2015, where he also allegedly threatened Ventura while she was surrounding by his security guards. Later, Red describes an intoxicated Combs yelling at her at Cassie’s home, commanding her to tell Cassie “she wants some birthday dick.” The letter also reaffirms many of the accusations from Cassie’s lawsuit — that Diddy coerced her into taking drugs (getting “so high,” Red was worried she’d overdose), threatening her, and using her terminated record deal to keep her from speaking out.
Although Cassie and Diddy have settled the original lawsuit, the effects of having additional witnesses for her accusations of abuse could harm Diddy’s standing in the public eye — which could also spell trouble for him should the new lawsuits proceed to trial.
Diddy responded with a statement provided to Page Six, reading, “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy. Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”
Below is what you need to know about the allegations and lawsuits aimed at Diddy.
The suit is extremely nuanced and graphically detailed, but the varied allegations said to have happened between 2005 (when Cassie was 19 and signed to Diddy’s Bad Boy label) and 2018, span, per The New York Times, “a pattern of control and abuse that included plying her with drugs, beating her, and forcing her to have sex with a succession of male prostitutes while he filmed the encounters.” There was also one rape allegation from 2018, before their romantic relationship ended.
Diddy Settles With Cassie
November 17: Despite vehemently denying all the allegations in Cassie’s lawsuit, Diddy reached a settlement with her the day after its filing. The terms of the settlement were not publicly disclosed, but Cassie and Diddy each released statements sharing that they “decided to resolve this matter amicably.”
On November 18, Benjamin Brafman, Diddy’s attorney, released a statement to clarify, according to The Hollywood Reporter, that the settlement was in “no way an admission of wrongdoing,” and “Mr. Combs’ decision to settle the lawsuit does not in any way undermine his flat-out denial of the claims. He is happy they got to a mutual settlement and wishes Ms. Ventura the best.”
Two More Women Allege Sexual Assault And Rape
November 23: On Thanksgiving, New York’s Adult Survivors Act expired. The act, as explained by Billboard, “created a one-year window for alleged survivors to take legal action over years-old accusations that would typically be barred under the statute of limitations.” Two more women filed lawsuits against Diddy before its expiration, and Diddy denied them via a statement from an unnamed spokesperson calling them “fabricated claims […] filed at the last minute. This is nothing but a money grab.”
The Hollywood Reporter reported another lawsuit filed against Diddy for allegedly “drugging sexually assaulting [Joi Dickerson-Neal] when she was a college student at Syracuse University in 1991.”
Later that day, as first reported by Rolling Stone, a woman identified publicly as Jane Doe “alleges [Diddy] and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall took turns raping” her and her friend in 1990 or 1991. The lawsuit alleges violence as well.
Diddy Steps Down From Revolt
November 28: Revolt announced that Diddy, who co-founded the media company, had “stepped down from his position as Chairman of Revolt.”
50 Cent Chimes In
December 1:Page Six reported that 50 Cent, noted Diddy disliker, is “in early development on a TV doc about rival Diddy and allegations of abuse by his longtime partner Cassie and others.” It would be done by his G-Unit Films and Television.
50 Cent acknowledged the report on X (formerly known as Twitter), writing, “RAPPER [eyeballs emoji] I thought Diddy was a Billionaire music mogul, If he’s smart he will file bankruptcy now. Anyone with real money knows why I’m saying this. Im the best producer for the job guys. here come the receipts.”

December 5: On Tuesday, Rolling Stone‘s Andre Gee wrote a piece examining the men who have publicly corroborated Cassie’s lawsuit or made new troubling allegations of drugging or violence from their time either being around or working for Diddy. They include Bad Boy rapper Mark Curry and former bodyguards Gene Deal and Roger Bonds.
Yet Another Rape Allegation and Diddy Denial
December 6: And we’re back to where we started. Earlier today, publications such as The New York Timesand Rolling Stone reported the latest lawsuit filed against Diddy. This one was filed in Manhattan’s Federal District Court by an unnamed woman, alleging thatDiddy “and two other men gang-raped her in a New York recording studio 20 years ago, when she was 17 years old.”
The New York Times summarized the suit’s allegations:
“The woman says in the complaint that she met two associates of Mr. Combs at a lounge in the Detroit area, and they took her on a private plane to New York. There, the suit says, the three men gave the woman copious amounts of drugs and alcohol, and took turns raping her in the studio’s bathroom as she drifted in and out of consciousness.
“When they were done, the suit says, the woman fell into a fetal position in a bathroom, lying on the floor in pain, and she was soon driven to an airport and put on a plane back to Michigan.”
Diddy’s first direct public statement immediately followed, as written above.
To the surprise of many, Cassie and Diddy came to a quick agreement after she filed a bombshell lawsuit against him in mid-November. The harrowing allegations against the industry mogul included human trafficking and physical abuse, among many more. Though he agreed to settle and pay out a large fee to his ex, Sean Combs and his lawyer maintain the “I’ll Be Missing You” artist’s innocence, reminding the media that dealing with the drama outside of court doesn’t equate to an admission of guilt. Try as he might to run from his past, Diddy has only had more lawsuits come forward in recent weeks, all while Cassie does her best to move on from her trauma.
As Page Six reports, the Step Up 2 actress is back outside for the first time since legal documents came out last month. Her husband Alex Fine and their two daughters, Frankie and Sunny, were out too on Saturday (December 2) in New York City, where they happily grabbed food at Serendipity. Besides simply enjoying family time together, the Fines also wanted to commemorate their firstborn’s fourth birthday, which is happening on December 6th.
Feeling the festive spirit, Cassie wore a Christmas sweater and black leggings. Her little ones looked pleased to be enjoying chicken strips and fries as cameras took pictures of them sitting at their table. The outlet notes that the 37-year-old spoke with fans in the restaurant who recognized her, and her smile looked as genuine as ever in photos captured at Serendipity.
While Cassie’s energy seems to be fully focusing on herself and her family at this time, that doesn’t mean Diddy’s troubles are over. Rather, the Bad Boy mogul has 50 Cent’s foot weighing more heavily on his neck than ever. Ahead of the weekend, the “I Get Money” artist urged Sean Combs to sell him Revolt before confirming his plans to go through with a documentary exposing much of the embattled star’s troubling behaviour through the decades. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
50 Cent’slongstanding disdain of Diddy appears to have reached new heights. According to Page Six, the former is allegedly working to develop an investigative documentary about latter and his legal woes. Given 50 Cent’s troll-like tendencies and the public pressure Diddy is facing following the strings of sexual assault lawsuits, people online are throwing their support behind the idea.
Although Diddy has maintained his innocence, 50 Cent is confident he has the investigative skills to find proof to substantiate the claims in court documents. “I thought Diddy was a billionaire music mogul,” wrote 50 Cent in a post on X (formerly Twitter). “If he’s smart, he will file for bankruptcy now. Anyone with real money knows why I’m saying this. I’m the best producer for the job guys. Here come the receipts.”

After learning that Diddy had stepped down as chairman of Revolt, 50 Cent rushed to X to express his interest in purchasing the network. “I’ll buy that from you, playboy, for the low because you know Cadillac and AT&T gonna pull out,” wrote 50 Cent. “I’ll give you a few dollars for it now! Sell it to me, then we can be friends. I’m serious. Call my phone.”

In a recent interview with Angela Yee, Nick Cannon found himself navigating the waters of controversy surrounding hip-hop mogul Diddy. For those who have been keeping up, Diddy’s reputation has been cast in a complicated light due to a shocking federal lawsuit filed by R&B singer Cassie. The lawsuit, reported by the New York Times, alleged a disturbing decade-long pattern of control, abuse, and even rape. Leaving the public stunned and prompting denials from Combs. What unfolded next was a rapid-fire resolution, as Diddy settled the staggering $30 million lawsuit in just one day.
Cannon’s candid remarks shed light on the internal conflict many in the industry now face. The Wild ‘N Out star grappled with completely disapproving of Diddy’s alleged behavior. While still caring for the person behind the controversy. “I think it’s… man. We all sit here in this game for a long time. And there’s a lot of things that we probably don’t know the details on,” Cannon expressed. As the interview unfolded, Angela Yee pressed Cannon on his feelings towards Cassie amid the turmoil. “I mean, how do you leave a nice comment for Cassie with everything that’s been happening with Diddy?” she inquired. Cannon’s response signified the struggle faced by many celebs on the sidelines. He’s grappling with the revelation of alleged misconduct by someone they know.
“I don’t agree with the behavior, but I care for the person,” Cannon admitted. This internal tug-of-war became even more palpable with the revelation that Diddy swiftly settled the $30 million lawsuit within a mere 24 hours. Cassie’s lawsuit, painting a chilling picture of a decade-long ordeal, sent shockwaves through the industry, prompting a reevaluation of the narratives surrounding influential figures. Diddy’s quick settlement added a layer of complexity to the unfolding saga, leaving many questioning the truth behind closed doors. “When you think about all that Diddy has done for the culture,” Cannon said.
“We all on the outside looking in, and when you start to hear stuff, you don’t know how to feel because you know these people,” Cannon continued. Nick Cannon’s candid commentary serves as a snapshot into the industry’s struggle to reconcile personal relationships with the harsh realities of the public eye.
