Cassie Ventura is a singer and model who signed with Combs' Bad Boy Records in 2006. Their relationship lasted over a decade. In 2023, she filed a lawsuit alleging rape, physical abuse, and coercion into sex acts with other men. The case was settled a day later but prompted additional lawsuits and further criminal investigation.

During her bombshell testimony against Sean “Diddy” Combs Tuesday (May 13), Cassie Ventura alleged that one of their “freak-offs” was put on hold so that the Bad Boy founder could confront rival Suge Knight at a Los Angeles diner.
