Pop singer Kesha has publicly expressed her support for R&B artist Cassie Ventura in the wake of Sean "Diddy" Combs being found not guilty on multiple charges, including sex trafficking.
The verdict, which came after a highly publicized federal trial involving testimony from over 30 witnesses, has drawn mixed reactions from both the public and celebrities.
In a statement shared to her social media, Kesha wrote, “Cassie, I believe you. I love you. Your strength is a beacon for every survivor.” The brief but powerful message quickly garnered support online, with fans and fellow survivors praising Kesha for speaking out in solidarity.
Cassie, I believe you.
I love you.
Your strength is a beacon for every survivor.— kesha (@KeshaRose) July 2, 2025
Cassie was one of the central figures in the trial, offering harrowing testimony about her relationship with Combs and the alleged abuse she endured. Despite the jury’s decision to acquit Diddy of all criminal charges, Cassie's statements resonated widely, sparking conversations about survivor credibility and the legal system’s handling of abuse allegations.
Kesha’s support carries added weight given her own high-profile legal battles. The singer previously fought a lengthy and emotionally charged case involving allegations of abuse against her former producer Dr. Luke. Her decision to stand behind Cassie aligns with a broader movement among female artists to support one another in the face of legal and personal adversity.
While Diddy maintains his innocence and has been cleared of criminal wrongdoing in this case, the broader public discourse surrounding the trial and Cassie’s testimony continues. Kesha’s message adds to a growing chorus of public figures advocating for survivors, regardless of courtroom outcomes.
