Kanye West has once again sparked controversy with his latest claims regarding Cassie Ventura’s lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs.
In a series of since-deleted posts on X (formerly Twitter), West accused Ventura of leveraging her legal battle with Combs
as a means to “cash in” on the disgraced music mogul, RadarOnline.com has reported.
Ventura, best known for her 2006 hit “Me & U,” was in a long-term relationship with Combs and also signed under his Bad Boy Records label.
In November 2023, she filed a lawsuit against Combs, alleging that he had subjected her to physical abuse and sexual assault over the years.
The case was swiftly settled within a day, though Combs denied all allegations at the time.
However, in a shocking turn of events, months after the settlement, surveillance footage surfaced showing Combs assaulting Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel. The footage, which spread rapidly online, depicted Combs dragging, kicking, and striking Ventura in a hallway—corroborating the disturbing claims made in her lawsuit.
The legal complaint had detailed a similar incident, stating, “He followed her into the hallway of the hotel while yelling at her. He grabbed at her, and then took glass vases in the hallway and threw them at her, causing glass to crash around them as she ran to the elevator to escape.”
After the video leak, Combs issued an apology for his “inexcusable” behavior. However, the scandal did not end there, as the embattled music mogul is now behind bars, facing serious sex trafficking charges set to go to trial in May 2025. Multiple women have come forward accusing him of abuse and blackmail spanning over 15 years.
Despite their long-standing feud, West, 47, recently shifted gears and began expressing support for Combs amid his legal troubles. In early February, he launched an online campaign urging former President Donald Trump to “Free Puff,” a reference to Combs’ nickname. The rapper also revealed plans for a new Yeezy clothing collaboration with Combs’ Sean John brand, an unexpected move given their past conflicts.
West’s social media activity took another dramatic turn last week when he cast doubt on Ventura’s motives for filing her lawsuit. One of his deleted posts read, “Did Cassie extort Puff?”—a question that seemingly suggests Ventura orchestrated the lawsuit for financial benefit, given the swift nature of the settlement.
These statements add to West’s growing list of controversial remarks in recent months. The rapper has been embroiled in multiple online rants, many of which have been deleted shortly after posting. His support for Combs comes as a surprise to many, considering their history of public disputes dating back to 2022 when West faced backlash for promoting his controversial “White Lives Matter” merchandise. At the time, Combs distanced himself from West and criticized his actions.
Meanwhile, Ventura has remained largely silent on West’s accusations, focusing on her personal life as she reportedly prepares to welcome her third child. Despite settling her lawsuit, she continues to receive public support following the emergence of the hotel footage, which many saw as undeniable proof of her claims.
As West continues to stir controversy with his unpredictable social media activity, it remains to be seen whether his recent support for Combs and accusations against Ventura will have any lasting impact on the ongoing legal battles. For now, both Combs and Ventura remain central figures in a high-profile scandal that has rocked the entertainment industry.
