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.

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.
