Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs accused of drugging songwriter who collaborated with Cassie
With Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs currently behind bars and facing serious charges, even more allegations have been levelled towards the fallen music mogul in the wake of his incarceration.
The musician, producer, and businessman was recently placed on suicide watch at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center after being arrested on federal charges, with Diddy denied bail twice and currently awaiting trial.
The bail was denied after it was determined that Diddy presented a significant flight risk, with a grand jury in New York accusing the artist, real name Sean Combs, of crimes including sex trafficking, forced labour, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.
More specifically, the indictment suggests Diddy used drugs as a means of coercing and maintaining control over his artists, in addition to using his wealth and status within the music industry and in his personal life as a means to maintain “a pattern of abuse towards women” over a number of years.
Diddy has denied all of the charges, but more could be forthcoming after a songwriter who collaborated with Cassie Ventura – Combs’ former partner of more than a decade who filed a lawsuit against him alleging physical and psychological abuse – claims she was drugged when working on the singer’s second album.
Tiffany Red shared her own alleged experience with Diddy on social media, admitting that “I feel a little safer knowing Sean Combs is behind bars.” The songwriter described the past year of her life as “incredibly stressful and terrifying at times” before alleging she was spiked at his home.
“While co-creating Cassie’s sophomore album, I was degraded by Sean Combs, deceived by him, his team, and the record labels about the music being released,” she said. “I was exposed to Diddy’s abuse of Cassie and others in her circle, and I unknowingly consumed something laced without my consent at his Hombly Hills home studio while writing for Cassie back in 2017.”
“I’ll never forget screaming, ‘What’s in this?!’ I knew instantly after smoking the joint that something was wrong,” Red continued. “I got away that night by the grace of god, but I am haunted by the things I can’t remember about that evening. No one should have to endure this kind of trauma to pursue success in the music industry. We all deserve better.”
Diddy is yet to respond to Tiffany Red’s claims.
No date has been set as of yet for Diddy’s trial, but he remains behind bars and prosecutors have confirmed they’ve spoken to over 50 witnesses regarding the charges.
