Tiffany Red, a songwriter for Cassie, revealed details about the singer’s tumultuous relationship with Sean “Diddy” Combs during a special edition of 20/20 on ABC. Red recounted an incident in 2015 where she heard Diddy screaming at Cassie over the phone, accusing her of having someone else in the car with her. This was the first time Red felt that something was wrong in their relationship. Another incident occurred when Cassie turned 29 and Diddy cornered her in a room with his security, yelling and intimidating her. Red described how everyone around Diddy seemed afraid of him.
Red has written several songs for Cassie and described her as sweet, quiet, and a good person who was introduced to the world by Diddy. However, she also recalls feeling intimidated when Diddy asked her if she was the one writing songs about him, leading her to believe that he did not want her talking to Red. Diddy is currently in jail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, awaiting trial on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking, after being indicted by a grand jury.
Diddy has denied all allegations against him and pleaded not guilty. He accused the Department of Homeland Security of leaking a video of him physically assaulting Cassie at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016, claiming they were trying to undermine his right to a fair trial. The video, which showed Diddy grabbing Cassie by the neck and shoving and kicking her, was widely condemned when aired on CNN and spread online. Diddy later apologized for his actions in the video, admitting that he was in a bad place but taking full responsibility for his behavior.
The 14-page indictment against Diddy accuses him of abusing, threatening, and coercing women for years to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct. Diddy has been vocal in denying these accusations and asserting his innocence. Red shared her experiences of witnessing Diddy’s behavior towards Cassie, painting a picture of a tumultuous and potentially abusive relationship. Despite Diddy’s denials and accusations against the Department of Homeland Security, the video evidence of his violent actions has sparked outrage and condemnation from the public. The ongoing legal battle surrounding Diddy’s charges and the abuse allegations continue to cast a shadow over his reputation and relationships.
