Cassie Looks Unbothered In NYC After Diddy’s Arrest

September 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s legal issues only continue to make headlines, particularly following his arrest in New York City earlier this week. According to TMZ, he’s been charged with “racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution.” Yesterday, he appeared in court for an appeal hearing, where a judge shot down his request for release on bail for the second time.

The mogul’s legal saga kicked off back in November with a lawsuit from Cassie, who dated him on and off from 2007 to 2018. She accused him of sexual assault, abuse, and much more. They settled roughly a day after she filed. This summer, disturbing hotel security footage exclusively obtained by CNN also surfaced online. In it, he’s seen pulling the songstress to the ground, kicking her, and throwing objects in her direction.

Following Diddy’s arrest this week, his lawyer Marc Agnifilo alleged that Cassie will serve as a witness in his upcoming trial. Agnifilo also accused her of having cheated on Diddy for years before the aforementioned hotel assault. Now, she’s been spotted out and about in NYC, appearing unfazed by all of the chaos surrounding her ex.

In various clips and photos, she’s seen relaxing at an outdoor cafe, dodging paparazzi, and more. It appears as though she’s living her best life these days, per usual. Of course, her fans are glad to see it. What do you think of Cassie being spotted out in New York City after Diddy’s arrest?

U.S. Attorney Alleges Sex Worker Was Present During Diddy And Cassie’s Hotel Fight

September 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy was already losing credibility as a positive cultural force when the footage of him assaulting Cassie leaked online. It was harrowing to watch, and validated all of the heinous claims made against him in the preceding months. Diddy’s reputation has never fully recovered. Given that the mogul is now locked up and facing a possible life sentence in prison, it’s safe to assume it never will. That said, the incident with Diddy and Cassie has continued to be a talking point. The Assistant U.S. Attorney prosecuting the case, Emily Johnson, alleged that there was actually a third person present when the assault happened.

This allegation came to light on September 18. Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, previously alleged that Cassie was the one who started the altercation by hitting Diddy in the head with a cell phone. Agnifilo also claimed that Cassie’s infidelity is what sparked the preceding argument. The AUSA, or Assistant U.S. Attorney, pushed back against these comments in court. Johnson alleged that Cassie did not hit Diddy. She supported this stance by alleging that a sex worker was in the room with them at the time. The Neighborhood Talk provides additional details below.

Diddy Allegedly Had A ‘Freak Off’ Prior To Assaulting Cassie

Johnson pointed to other small details in the security footage as a means of defending Cassie’s stance in the altercation. The Assistant U.S. Attorney noted that the singer wasn’t wearing shoes, which suggested she feared for her safety. She also alleged that Diddy, Cassie, and the unnamed sex worker had finished a “freak off” prior to the hallway assault, hence Diddy wearing only a towel. Johnson also read messages that the mogul sent to Cassie after the assault. “Call me, the cops are here,” Diddy allegedly texted. “I got six kids. Yo, please call, I am surrounded. You gonna abandon me all alone.”

The Bad Boy mogul was denied bail on Tuesday, September 17. Emily Johnson successfully lobbied to keep him behind bars before the trial. She cited Diddy as a “serial abuser and a serial obstructor,” and feared that he would attempt to flee the country if allowed to return home. She also directly opposed comments made by Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, about the trial focusing on one victim. “This is not a case about one victim,” she noted. “There are multiple victims.”

Diddy’s Lawyer Alleges That Cassie Hit Diddy Prior To Hotel Hallway Attack

September 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s not a good time to be Diddy. The mogul has been arrested and denied bail. He’s entered a not guilty plea to the multiple sex trafficking charges that have been leveled at him. To make matters worse, public opinion on Diddy has never been, well, worse. Celebrities are coming out of the woodwork to criticize the Bad Boy founder, or to distance himself from his decades of alleged crimes. Diddy’s lawyer, however, has tried tirelessly to reframe the narrative. Marc Agnifilo addressed the infamous security video in which his client attacked ex-girlfriend, Cassie. He then tried to make a case against Cassie. Inner City Press shared Agnifilo’s statements on Twitter.

Agnifilo alleged that Cassie was actually the person who started the physical altercation. He accused the singer of striking Diddy in the head prior to running out into the hallway. “[It was] an issue that Mr. Combs had more than one girlfriend,” he told reporters. “Victim-1 was looking through his phone and saw that – then hit him in the head with a cellphone, and took his clothing.” Agnifilo didn’t try to defend Diddy’s actions in the hallway. He merely tried to provide context to make his client seem like less of an instigator. The allegations against Cassie didn’t stop there, however.

Diddy’s Lawyer Alleges That Cassie Cheated On His Client

Agnifilo alleged that Cassie frequently cheated on Diddy during their time together. He went as far as to allege that Diddy hired the personal trainer that Cassie would eventually marry. “These two people were in love,” the lawyer claimed to the court. “Victim-1 ended up marrying the trainer that Mr. Combs got for her. They had been cheating on each other for years.” Marc Agnifilo concluded his allegations against Cassie by claiming that she looks upon her time with the mogul fondly. “Years later, she realized she had a good thing with Mr. Combs,” he stated.

The lawsuit that Cassie filed against Diddy in November 2023 suggests otherwise. The singer accused Diddy of raping and physically abusing her throughout their relationship. Diddy agreed to settle out of court a day after the lawsuit was filed. The footage of the hotel hallway assault exposed whatever sins Diddy tried to cover up by settling, however. The Bad Boy mogul’s reputation has never fully recovered. Cassie has yet to respond to Marc Agnifilo’s new allegations.

Cassie Once Punched Diddy In The Face During Intense Brawl, Ex-Bodyguard Alleges

June 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The public has certainly heard no shortage of disturbing allegations about Diddy in recent months, many of which pertain to his tumultuous relationship with his ex-girlfriend Cassie. The songstress sued him in November of last year, accusing him of sexual assault, abuse, and much more. They settled shortly after she filed, though just last month, footage of him assaulting her at a hotel in 2016 surfaced online. Of course, this appeared to corroborate some of the allegations she made against him in her suit, and left social media users and peers outraged.

As Diddy continues to face repercussions for his actions, more unsettling accusations continue to come to light. Aside from the additional lawsuits he’s now facing, various former employees, partners, and collaborators have come forward to speak out against him. The Bad Boy Records founder’s ex-bodyguard Roger Bonds is one of them, and has had some shocking things to say about his former employer as of late.

Roger Bonds Recalls Diddy & Cassie’s Alleged Fight

During a recent interview with VladTV, Bonds recalled one of Diddy and Cassie’s intense alleged fights. He claimed they had all been in a car when the former pair began to argue, and things allegedly escalated beyond the point of return. He alleges that eventually, Cassie punched Diddy in the face, leaving him feeling glad that she finally defended herself. “Cassie had punched him in the face, rightfully. She punched him in the face and they started fighting,” he alleged. “In my mind, I was happy because I actually seen her fight back. In my mind I was happy.”

He went on, claiming that things escalated once again when they got back to the house. Bonds alleges that Cassie “kicked” Diddy, prompting him to grab the mogul who had allegedly tried to chase her. What do you think of Roger Bonds accusing Cassie of once punching Diddy in the face amid a fight? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Roger Bonds Accuses Diddy Of Manipulating Cassie To Be In A Relationship

June 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Diddy scandal has been increasingly difficult to keep up with thanks to a barrage of new claims, allegations, and accusations from many sources. Moreover, some of the most recent bombshell claims emerged from his former head of security Roger Bonds’ new interview with DJ Vlad on VladTV. One of these claims included the supposition that Sean Combs made Cassie redo her plastic surgery weeks after the procedure, along with some other allegations. In addition, Bonds accused him of manipulated her into being in a relationship with him, as he allegedly had a promoter make a fake party flier and convinced her to fly to Miami alone for it.

Furthermore, Roger Bonds also claims that Diddy and Cassie did drugs before they had their first intimate moment, and Bonds confirmed that he was under the Bad Boy mogul’s employment at the time. Apparently, Puffy gave her expensive gift after expensive gift, whether it was a Manhattan apartment close to his or a new car. In fact, Bonds alleges that even Cassie’s parents eventually fell victim to this alleged manipulation, since he sent them on trips. He also claimed that the New York entrepreneur and music executive callously controlled much of her finances and career opportunities in ways that potentially sabotaged her potential success.

Roger Bonds Claims Diddy & Cassie Relationship Was Built On Manipulation

“You can say I was disgusted with the video,” the father of Kim Porter, Diddy’s late ex, remarked about the clip of him abusing Cassie in a hotel hallway. “And I wouldn’t treat my enemy like that. It was despicable… I couldn’t believe it, I was in Vietnam, and I wouldn’t do that to my enemy. I didn’t know he could stoop that low, I imagine it surprised a lot of people.” It’s important to note that he also said that he never saw Puff Daddy be violent “to that extent” with his daughter.

Meanwhile, some Diddy-related theories now moved on to rope in other celebrities and pop culture elements instead of focusing on him. For example, an alleged industry insider suggested that Jay-Z and Beyoncé are laying low in the public eye due to their connections to him. Of course, they escaped mention in the lawsuits against Puff, so this is just speculative. But we’re sure that more famous folks will continue to speak out about this scandal in one way or another.

Diddy’s Friends Knew Of His Alleged Abuse “All Along,” Boosie Badazz Theorizes

June 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Diddy’s been subject to a tremendous amount of scrutiny since his ex-girlfriend sued him last year, accusing him of rape, abuse, and more. They settled shortly after she filed, though he was later hit with several similar lawsuits from other women. Things reached a new height in May when CNN obtained footage of the mogul physically assaulting Cassie at a hotel back in 2016. He’s since apologized, which didn’t do much to save his reputation. The footage corroborated some of the allegations Cassie made against Diddy and was enough to prompt explosive reactions from countless social media users and peers.

During a recent interview with VladTV, Boosie Badazz shared his take on the debacle, questioning why more of Diddy’s friends aren’t supporting him at this point. According to him, it’s likely that his friends knew of the alleged abuse long before the footage went public.

Boosie Claims He’d Still Be Friends With Diddy Despite Alleged Cassie Abuse

“I feel like his friends, they knew all along,” Boosie said. He went on to explain that he was raised to stand by his friends no matter what, and to stay out of others’ business despite how serious it may be. “How I was raised, if you beat your b***h that’s your problem,” he described. “It never made me say ‘You’re not my friend anymore.’ That’s what I stand on. I always stand on wrong or wrong right or right, you’re my friend. And I probably was raised a f*cked up way.” He continued, agreeing with DJ Vlad’s claim that compartmentalizes his relationships.

What do you think of Boosie Badazz’s theory that Diddy’s friends knew of his alleged abuse long before the footage? What about him claiming that he would support Diddy regardless if they were friends? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Cassie Delivers Heartfelt Message To Fans Following Diddy Assault Footage Leak

May 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The new footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway has taken the Internet by storm, and resulted in the biggest development in this scandal we’ve seen in a relatively long time. After his apology video, a lot of folks are discussing if there are any further legal steps to take, or if her settled lawsuit should be reopened considering this new, less defensible public perception. It’s important to note that all other allegations and accusations against Sean Combs are unconfirmed under a court of law at press time. Regardless, Cassie recently shared a message on social media thanking fans for their support in the wake of this new video and her settlement.

“Thank you for all of the love and support from my family, friends, strangers and those I have yet to meet,” Cassie’s message began. “The outpouring of love has created a place for my younger self to settle and feel safe now, but this is only the beginning. Domestic Violence is THE issue. It broke me down to someone I never thought I would become. With a lot of hard work, I am better today, but I will always be recovering from my past.

Cassie’s Message After Diddy Footage

“Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to take this matter seriously,” Cassie continued. “My only ask is that EVERYONE open your heart to believing victims the first time. It takes a lot of heart to tell the truth out of a situation that you were powerless in. I offer my hand to those that are still living in fear. Reach out to your people, don’t cut them off. No one should carry this weight alone. This healing journey is never ending, but this support means everything to me. Thank you. Love Always, Cassie.”

Meanwhile, folks continue to react to this footage, advocate for victims to speak their truth, and theorize what this means for Diddy moving forward. The Cassie case is not the only think he must answer for, and at this point, it’s impossible to tell what the future will look like. Hopefully the discussion around these tragedies and horrors can lead to more prevention down the road. If something as public and hot-button as this can’t do so, then we’ll stay stuck.

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.”

Diddy Couldn’t Say Cassie’s Name During Apology Due To Legal Reasons

May 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Just a few days ago, Diddy issued an apology after footage of him assaulting Cassie was obtained by CNN. Overall, this footage was from 2016 and it depicts the music mogul chasing after the singer and physically assaulting her. Subsequently, there was a ton of outrage surrounding the video, and understandably so. Fans were shocked by what they were seeing, and they were also a bit surprised to see this kind of video evidence become so public.

In the aftermath of the leak, Diddy took to his Instagram page where he offered up an apology to Cassie. However, fans were not impressed with the apology. In fact, some noted how the mogul never actually mentioned Cassie by name. Well, it seems like there was a good reason for this. According to TMZ, when Diddy settled a lawsuit with Cassie back in November, they both signed an NDA. Effectively, they can’t speak publicly about one another. Had Diddy mentioned her in the apology, he would have been in deep legal hot water.

Diddy Apology Under Scrutiny

As TMZ notes, Diddy’s legal team had a large hand in overseeing his apology. Ultimately, they don’t want him to say anything that can jeopardize his NDA. Moreover, he has other lawsuits to worry about, and he doesn’t want to jeopardize those either. For now, this is a nightmare situation for the music mogul, and the public pressure is not easing up. Numerous fans and celebrities have come out this week to denounce the star. Even LeBron James unfollowed Diddy on Instagram, which is indicative of a large trend.

Let us know what you think of Diddy’s apology, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that his apology was sufficient, or do you think that he barely scratched the surface? What do you think is going to happen next in this saga? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.
