Cassie Reportedly Cooperating With Federal Agents In Diddy Investigation

Casandra Ventura-Fine, a.k.a Cassie, is reportedly cooperating with the federal agents investigating Sean “Diddy” Combs following the raids on his Los Angeles and Miami homes.

According to TMZ, the “Me & U” singer is among the witnesses who have been communicating with the authorities. It’s reported that Venutura-Fine may have been working with them for “several weeks.”

The outlet believes Cassie may have provided testimony to give investigators probable cause to search the Bad Boy Records founder’s homes, but that hasn’t been confirmed.

Cassie started the domino effect on Diddy’s fall from grace back in November 2023 when she filed a lawsuit accusing him of rape, sex trafficking, battery, and more.

“After years in silence and darkness, I am finally ready to tell my story, and to speak up on behalf of myself and for the benefit of other women who face violence and abuse in their relationships,” the singer said in a statement.

After meeting in 2005, Cassie said Diddy’s “pattern of control and abuse” began almost immediately. He allegedly manipulated her and used drugs like ecstasy and ketamine to assault her and force her to sleep with several male prostitutes as he reportedly watched, masturbated, and recorded the encounters. Their relationship ended in 2018 after he allegedly forcibly entered her and sexually assaulted her. The lawsuit was settled after one day.

A source reportedly close to Cassie told US Weekly that she “finally feels like she isn’t alone,” adding, “Cassie has seen the worst of Diddy and he has put her through the most traumatic abuse. She isn’t able to speak about the things she has seen during their relationship, but it was very dark.”

Initially, Cassie wasn’t the only alleged witness set to testify against Diddy. Ethiopia Habtemariam, former CEO of Motown, was also named, but she’s since refuted the claim.

In a statement, Habtemariam explained, “I have no personal knowledge of any alleged wrongdoing by Mr. Combs, and there is nothing I could testify to that would be against his interest… In short, there is no basis for any of the claims asserted against me, and I should never have been named a defendant in this lawsuit.” Habtemariam, along with Justin Combs and others, was name-dropped by producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones in the latest lawsuit against Diddy.
