Cassie hiding under a blanket footage surfaces amidst Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs allegations
American podcaster and internet personality DJ Akademiks has shared the latest development in the allegations against 'Puff Daddy' and his treatment of former partner Cassie.
In a video posted on social media on May 18, Combs can be seen taunting someone believed to be Cassie, who is hiding under a blanket on the floor next to a bed.
“What you gotta say now, you ain’t got s*** to say,” Combs can be heard asking Cassie before turning the camera to himself and saying, “When you put your girl on the snap,” before the video cuts off.
The video, shared on DJ Akademiks' djakademikstv X and Instagram pages, is viewed by some as potential evidence of the rap mogul's alleged mistreatment of the singer. Her evident fear and attempts to hide from both him and the camera have sparked considerable concern among viewers.
Some commenters have also suggested that dark spots visible on the ground in the video might be blood.
The video has surfaced only a day after footage circulated online showing Combs attacking Cassie in a hotel hallway.
Sean 'Diddy' Combs assaults Cassie in hotel hallway
In recently surfaced 2016 surveillance footage obtained by CNN, Sean 'Diddy' Combs is observed punching and kicking his former girlfriend, Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura, in a hotel hallway.
The footage, captured from multiple angles, shows Combs chasing Ventura down the corridor in a towel before assaulting her near the elevators and attempting to drag her back.
The incident reportedly occurred at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles, verified by CNN through publicly available interior photos.
After pushing Ventura to the ground, Combs retrieves her purse and suitcase before kicking her again as she lies on the floor. Ventura is then seen slowly standing up and gathering items before reaching a hotel phone.
CNN reports that Combs later paid $50,000 to the InterContinental Century City for the hallway security footage.
The video appears to support allegations made in a 2023 lawsuit by Ventura, accusing Combs of trafficking, sexual assault and repeated physical abuse over a decade. The lawsuit against Combs was settled the day after it was filed, with the settlement amount remaining undisclosed.
Notably, Combs has not faced formal charges or accusations from federal prosecutors regarding any criminal activity.
