Cassie's alleged texts to Diddy after assault revealed: "You always want to show you have power"

Reports surfaced that the U.S. federal government allegedly released text messages from Cassie Ventura to Diddy.

On November 17, the United States federal government reportedly released text messages allegedly sent to Sean “Diddy” Combs from his former girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura.

According to an exclusive report from AllHipHop, the texts were seemingly exchanged in the aftermath of Cassie’s physical assault in the hands of Diddy in the Los Angeles hotel hallway in 2016, the video of which was leaked earlier this year.

“I have a black eye and fat lip. You are sick for thinking it’s okay to do what you’ve done… I still have crazy bruising… I turn my head for a second, and you get f**ked up, and you drag me down the hall by my hair… I have bleeding cuts… You hit me in the head two good times,” the alleged texts read.

“When you get f**ked up the wrong way, you always want to show me that you have the power and you knock me around. I’m not a rag doll. I’m someone’s child.”

Cassie was among the first Diddy associates to file a lawsuit against him in November 2023. She accused him of s*xual assault, domestic abuse, drugging, trafficking, and more. The civil suit detailed the incident shown on the viral hotel security footage.

In May 2024, CNN released a never-seen-before surveillance video from March 2016 that showed Sean Combs beating Cassie in the hallway of the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, which no longer exists.

The CCTV footage showed Diddy wearing a towel around his waist and chasing Cassie down the hallway as she was trying to board an elevator. As he caught up with her, the hip-hop mogul hit her, shoved her to the ground, punched her, and kicked her twice.

Later, the Bad Boy Records founder was seen grabbing Cassie by her neck and dragging her down the hallway, eventually throwing at her what appeared to be a vase. Back then, the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office did not prosecute the rapper for the Cassie assault incident as it fell outside the statute of limitations.
