Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Diddy Sean Combs apologized to Cassie while hanging out with Russell Simmons in Camp Bali.
In the surveillance video from 2016, which was released by CNN on Friday, the rapper appears to grab R&B vocalist Casandra Ventura as she waits by an elevator in a California hotel. Clad only in a towel, he throws her to the floor, kicking her repeatedly before dragging her toward a hallway, the video shows.
A representative for Combs could not be immediately reached for further comment.
Ventura, who performs under the stage name Cassie, sued Combs in 2023, accusing him of serial physical abuse, sexual slavery and rape during a 10-year professional and romantic relationship in which he controlled her through intimidation, drugs and alcohol. The parties settled the matter the following day for undisclosed terms. Representatives for Combs said at the time the settlement was “in no way an admission of wrongdoing”.
According to Combs, he’s sought the help of professionals to grow and become better since the 2016 incident.
“I started going to therapy. I’ve been going to rehab. I’ve had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry,” he says before signing off.
While many skeptics in Diddy’s comments were not buying his apology, noting his Instagram post where he called the recent allegations against him a “character assassination,” several other eagle-eyed fans began examining the background in his video and questioned if the music mogul was still in the country.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the world, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs took to Instagram to offer his deep remorse for his past actions against Cassie. In a post captioned “I’m truly sorry,” the Bad Boy CEO says, “It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times of your life but sometimes you gotta do that. I was f—ked up and I hit rock bottom. But I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I’m disgusted. I was disgusted then when I did it, I’m disgusted now.”
