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 has been the talk of the hip-hop world for the past few days. That began when a lawsuit filed against him by Cassie was made public and it was packed full of damning allegations.

Now, former Danity Kane singer Aubrey O’Day is weighing in on her Instagram story.

I ask you to respectfully consider this. ALL of your coins spent on us directly supported/support Diddy and everything he just did. Not a dig. Just a fact you should be aware of next time you think to stream of buy your fav’s music. If you want to help the systemic problem we CLEARLY were just whiplashed with. Look into/ or ask you fav artist’s what money actually feeds them so you can help them stay healthy and not fall victim to being dependent on any executive,” she captioned her post. Check out the pictures from her story below.
In the comments, fans have mixed reactions to her revelation. “One thing Diddy ain’t gone do is give in to Aubrey out of all the people he’s dealt with. He got a real problem with her. And I think it’s because she’s the only woman who actually spoke up to him. He can’t stand her because of it. SMH,” one of the top comments on the post reads.
Elsewhere in the comment though, fans are calling for action from Aubrey. “Aubrey baby we are tired. Sue him or shut up please,” another top comment suggests. What do you think of Aubrey O’Day’s post about money from Danity Kane sales going to Diddy? Let us know in the comment section below.

Aubrey O’Day stepped into the limelight courtesy of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ reality TV spectacle, Making the Band 3. But her roots dig deep into the performing arts. Her childhood interest in the theater and her undergraduate years in musical theatre at the University of California, Irvine nurtured them. Her transformation from an aspiring performer to a pop sensation is one for the textbooks. When Danity Kane splashed onto the music scene, O’Day was already a seasoned performer. She’s a master of many disciplines within the entertainment world—actress, songwriter, and reality TV star—and it’s this multiplicity that has fattened her bank account to a reported $5 million in 2023, according to CAknowledge.

Additionally, O’Day’s inclusion in Danity Kane was pivotal, propelling her into stardom with the group’s eponymous debut album in 2006. Hit singles like “Show Stopper” and “Damaged” climbed the charts, cementing the band—and O’Day’s—status. She carried this momentum into her solo endeavors, releasing EPs that flaunted her vocal talents and sass. Not content to be confined to a recording studio, she capitalized on her growing celebrity by participating in reality TV shows like Celebrity Apprentice and Ex on the Beach. This added layers to her public persona and fortified her financial standing, making her a household name beyond just music circles.

In dissecting the melodrama and the music, the Aubrey O’Day story paints the picture of a woman determined to leave an indelible mark on the entertainment industry. Her multi-faceted career, far from being a medley of disjointed acts, forms a cohesive, compelling narrative. While far from over, it’s a narrative that has already penned some impressive financial chapters. And that is no small feat in an industry known for its harsh volatility.

O’Day revealed that the music mogul sent her a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), insisting she never speaks poorly of Bad Boy.

They were a girl group that stormed the industry after being constructed by Sean “Diddy” Combs, but Dawn Richard is giving insight into the trials of Danity Kane. Richard was a singer in the quintet that took over the charts after coming together on Making the Band. The reality series followed hopefuls looking for their big break. Diddy and his team not only chose each singer but they documented the process of whipping them into shape. All these years later, many of the ladies have spoken out against their time on the show.
Dawn Richard has continued her career as a solo artist and creative. She’s continued to release music, and in a new interview, she revealed the Bad Boy “didn’t believe” in Danity Kane. “We were a show,” Richard told FashionXRadio. “Puff saw money. He saw ratings. MTV, that was where the money was. Danity Kane was just a concept of something bigger. He had no clue we were gonna be that big.”

“I’ll tell you: when we first came out, they said only do 100,000 copies ’cause they not gon’ do more than Cassie. That’s what they told us when the first album came out. We sold 100,000 in a day, and they had to figure out how to get more units in by the time the week [ended]. They barely got it, and we ended up selling 230,000 copies.”
The host chimed in to say that the label was lacking and didn’t have enough product. “They didn’t think we would sell,” Richard added. “When were touring, they wouldn’t give us any money. So, we were sewing our costumes from Forever 21.” This isn’t the first grievance a Danity Kane artist has brought up against Diddy. Aubrey O’Day has been vocal about Combs, often lashing out about his methods on social media.
Over the years, there have been murmurs about some of Danity Kane’s reunions. Richard, O’Day, and Shannon Bex came together as a Danity Kane trio, but still, the ladies opted to continue flying solo.
