Yung Miami has publicly addressed her past relationship with the embattled music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs for the first time following his explosive lawsuits and the ongoing sex trafficking investigation.
The former City Girls member, whose real name is Caresha Brownlee, described her relationship with Combs as "mutually beneficial" during the Thursday episode of her "Caresha Please" podcast.
“I think that I was able to come in and be a brand ambassador for DeLeon [Tequila] and take it to a whole ‘nother level,” she said.
“I feel like I was an asset. I honestly feel like with Diddy … I don’t know what his intentions [were] — whether it was business or he really liked me — but when he got with me, he really saw something in me.”
“I feel like I came into his world and I was able to turn everything he had going on up a notch,” Yung Miami continued, noting that she launched her podcast with Revolt on Combs’ suggestion.
“With him, he was able to take my career to the next level. I did the Met Gala, I got ready for Vogue.”
Moreover, the 30-year-old “Act Up” rapper stated that she wasn't focused on receiving luxury items or flying on private jets.
“I feel like I’m up under a mogul, I want to learn something,” she explained. “I want to learn business. I went into that relationship thinking I want to become a mogul.”
Combs, 54, and the Miami-born artist first ignited dating rumors in 2021, although they didn’t officially acknowledge their relationship until June 2022.
His ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, first accused him of rape and domestic abuse, alleging in a November 2023 legal filing that the Bad Boy Records founder regularly inflicted violent physical abuse on her throughout their long-term relationship.
The matter was swiftly resolved within 24 hours, with both parties agreeing to a settlement for an undisclosed amount.
