A day after Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit against Diddy alleging horrific abuse, the R&B singer and hip-hop mogul reportedly agreed to amicably resolve the claims on Friday, November 17, 2023.
According to multiple reports, Cassie Ventura has settled the lawsuit she filed against Diddy on Thursday, November 16, accusing him of r*pe, s*x trafficking and physical abuse during their ten-year personal relationship.
While terms of the settlement are unknown, Diddy’s representatives, denying the claims in the lawsuit, had previously alleged that Ventura had demanded $30M, threatening to expose their relationship.
However, Ventura's representatives alleged that Diidy, who is worth $ 1 Billion, had offered her “eight figures' to keep her from filing her lawsuit.
