Diddy has been accused of drugging a Cassie collaborator, who said she “instantly” knew “something was wrong” when it happened.
Songwriter Tiffany Red took to Instagram on Thursday (September 19) to share an experience she had with the disgraced Bad Boy mogul.
“Today, I feel a little safer knowing Sean Combs is behind bars,” Red wrote. “I’m grateful to the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York and Homeland Security for stepping in and showing Mr. Combs and the music industry, which enabled him that they’re not above the law. This past year has been incredibly stressful and terrifying at times, but I am grateful for the opportunity to free myself from all these dark experiences.
“While co-creating Cassie’s sophomore album, I was degraded by Sean Combs, deceived by him, his team, and the record labels about the music being released, I was exposed to Diddy’s abuse of Cassie and others in her circle, and I unknowingly consumed something laced without my consent at his Hombly Hills home studio while writing for Cassie back in 2017.”
She continued: “I’ll never forget screaming, ‘What’s in this?!’ I knew instantly after smoking the joint that something was wrong. I got away that night by the grace of GOD, but I am haunted by the things I can’t remember about that evening.
“No one should have to endure this kind of trauma to pursue success in the music industry. We all deserve better.”
Diddy’s frantic text messages to Cassie following his brutal assault of her in 2016 were revealed in court following his recent arrest.
The message was made public during the rap mogul’s bail appeal hearing in New York on Wednesday (September 18), which resulted in him being denied bond for a second time.
During the hearing, Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson read out texts that Diddy sent Cassie after the shocking hotel attack, footage of which was released earlier this year.
According to Johnson, the Bad Boy boss wrote to his then-girlfriend: “Call me, the cops are here. I got six kids. Yo, please call, I am surrounded. You gonna abandon me all alone.”
“The defendant knew he had done something that could elicit police response,” Johnson said of the text.
Cassie at some point texted Diddy to say she still had “crazy bruising” from the assault, Johnson told Judge Andrew L. Carter.
She also said to him: “When you get fucked up, you knock me around. I’m not a rag doll. I’m someone’s child.”
