The Hip-hop mogul’s case has drawn in countless A-list names. Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Usher, The Weeknd, Janelle Monáe, Queen Latifah, Snoop Dogg… were named one after another. Justin Bieber has caused the world to grieve as his past abuse has been gradually explained in his music. It wasn’t until Diddy was arrested that people could hear the pop prince’s cry for help.
Diddy’s “white parties” have countless world superstars attending.
The “long as a scroll” drama shocked the public. Once again, the dark side of the music industry was exposed. Behind the glitz, the billion-dollar MVs, and the world-famous albums were exchanges that pushed artists to the brink. Diddy organized sex parties that lasted for days while in a drug-intoxicated state, called “Freak Offs”. The music mogul used his entertainment empire to lure victims, both male and female, and even minors, into a “trap” with no way out.

But when did Diddy’s hidden crimes begin to be investigated? The person who exposed the music mogul was none other than his ex-girlfriend, singer Cassie.
Woman brutally assaulted in hotel hallway
In November 2023, Cassie filed a lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend Sean “Diddy” Combs, accusing the 54-year-old rapper of raping and sexually abusing her for 10 years. In her statement, Cassie said she decided to stand up to her powerful boyfriend so that other women who are being abused can have the courage to fight back.
“After years of silence and living in the dark, I am finally ready to tell my story. I am speaking out for myself and for other women who are facing violence and sexual abuse in their relationships.”

Cassie’s move began to “ignite” the “shocking” sex case in Hollywood. In the lawsuit, the singer said Diddy caused her to become addicted, struggling with drugs and alcoholism. Cassie accused her ex-boyfriend of often having uncontrollable rages and beating her in front of staff.
After the violent attacks, Sean Combs would often hide his girlfriend in hotels for days to let the bruises disappear in order to hide the fact that he had beaten Cassie.
CNN releases clip of Diddy assaulting ex-girlfriend at hotel
In May 2024, CNN released a clip of the rapper assaulting his ex-girlfriend at a hotel. The surveillance footage was compiled and edited from multiple angles and was filmed on March 5, 2016. The incident took place at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles. CNN verified the location based on previously public photos of the hotel’s interior. This is considered the most convincing evidence that Cassie was brutally abused by Diddy.
Diddy walked out of the hotel room with a towel wrapped around his waist, ran down the hallway, grabbed Cassie by the back of the neck and threw her to the floor.

The music mogul then grabs her by the shirt and drags her back to her room.
