Cassie, the ex-girlfriend of Sean “Diddy” Combs, has been assisting law enforcement officials in a federal sex trafficking investigation into the rapper. Sources revealed that she has been working with investigators for several weeks. This development suggests that the R&B singer, who was once signed to Combs’ label, may have had knowledge about the multiple raids on the rapper’s homes in LA and Miami last week. The investigation is also expected to involve raids in New York and Chicago.
In addition to Cassie, several other women who have not been named are reportedly in contact with federal investigators regarding the case. Cassie sensationally came forward in November with allegations of abuse she suffered at the hands of Diddy during their relationship. She accused the music producer and rapper of raping, physically abusing, trafficking, and feeding her drugs and alcohol for over a decade. Cassie claimed that Diddy forced her to have sex with male prostitutes while he filmed the encounters and even resorted to violent acts when she tried to leave the relationship.
The public on-and-off-again relationship between Cassie and Diddy began in 2005 when she was 19 and he was 37. Cassie, whose real name is Casandra Ventura, accused Diddy of raping, trafficking, and beating her starting in 2005 until 2018. She also claimed that he destroyed Kid Cudi’s car when he learned about his interest in her. The lawsuit filed by Cassie alleged that Diddy forced her into her own home and raped her when she attempted to end the relationship in 2018. Diddy, however, denied all the allegations and the pair privately settled the lawsuit just 24 hours after it was filed.
Following the recent raids, Diddy’s attorney criticized the “military-level force” used by federal authorities in searching the rapper’s properties. The hip hop mogul is under investigation for sex trafficking, according to law enforcement sources, although his attorney has labeled the allegations as a “witch hunt.” Diddy has not been arrested or charged in connection with the case, and he has cooperated with authorities. His lawyer also clarified that his travel has not been restricted despite the ongoing investigation.
This situation involving Diddy and the federal investigation into sex trafficking allegations has garnered significant attention from the public and media. Cassie’s cooperation with investigators and her previous accusations against Diddy have added a dramatic element to the unfolding story. The rapper has faced intense scrutiny and legal challenges as a result of the investigation, with his lawyer pushing back against the allegations. The aftermath of the raids and the ongoing legal developments surrounding this case continue to be closely monitored by observers.
