AceShowbiz - Sean "P. Diddy" Combs was spotted for the first time since Cassie filed an explosive lawsuit against him. Although he and his ex already reached a settlement, the "Gotta Move On" still looked distressed in new pictures.
On Saturday, November 18, the 54-year-old was caught on camera outside of his Star Island mansion in Miami. At one point when chatting with what appears to be his longtime chief of staff, the hip-hop mogul buried his face in his hands.
This arrived after Cassie sued Diddy for alleged rape, abuse and sex trafficking. However, just one day after filing the lawsuit, the "Me and U "singer announced that she and her ex-boyfriend have "amicably" settled the issue.
"I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control," the 37-year-old songstress, who split from the Bad Boy Records founder in 2018, said in a statement released on Friday. "I want to thank my family, fans, and lawyers for their unwavering support."
Diddy, for his part, declared, "We have decided to resolve this matter amicably. I wish Cassie and her family all the best. Love." The rapper and his former partner, however, didn not disclose details about the terms of the settlement.
Diddy's lawyer, Attorney Benjamin Brafman, later issued a statement, saying that the settlement is in "no way" an admission of his client's "wrongdoing." The attorney said on Saturday, "Just so we're clear, a decision to settle a lawsuit, especially in 2023, is in no way an admission of wrongdoing. Mr. Combs' decision to settle the lawsuit does not in any way undermine his flat-out denial of the claims. He is happy they got to a mutual settlement and wishes Ms. Ventura the best."
