In a recent development, Sean Combs, also known as P. Diddy, and singer Cassie, whose real name is Casandra Ventura, have announced that they have reached a settlement in the lawsuit filed by Cassie against Combs. The lawsuit alleged rape, sex trafficking, and physical abuse. The terms of the settlement, including the amount, were not disclosed.

Both parties released statements expressing their resolution in the case. Cassie affirmed her decision to resolve the matter amicably on her own terms, thanking her family, fans, and lawyers for their unwavering support. Combs, in a separate statement, wished Cassie and her family the best and acknowledged the amicable resolution.

Defending his client, Combs' attorney, Ben Brafman, emphasized that settling a lawsuit does not constitute an admission of wrongdoing. He clarified that Combs' decision to settle the lawsuit in no way undermines his denial of the claims and that he is pleased they were able to reach a mutual resolution. Brafman also extended his well wishes to Cassie.

Cassie's lawyer, Douglas Widor, praised his client for her strength in coming forward with the lawsuit. The suit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, listing Combs' label, Bad Boy Entertainment, along with Epic Records, Combs Enterprises LLC, and others as co-defendants. The lawsuit alleged that the abuse began in 2005 when Combs allegedly provided Cassie, who was then 19 years old, with alcohol and drugs. She also accused Combs of physical abuse, forcing her into sexual acts with male prostitutes that he allegedly filmed, and raping her after trespassing into her home in 2018.

The settlement comes after a period of public backlash and scrutiny against prominent figures in the entertainment industry, as numerous allegations of abuse and misconduct have come to light. The resolution of this lawsuit marks a significant moment in the ongoing conversation surrounding accountability and justice within the music industry.

The news of the settlement between Sean Combs and Cassie was updated on November 18, at 4:23 p.m., to include a statement from Combs' attorney, Ben Brafman.
