Yung Miami Says She Stayed Silent About Diddy Allegations Because ‘That Wasn’t My Experience’
Yung Miami is breaking her silence on allegations of sexual misconduct and abuse against ex-boyfriend Diddy, reviving her REVOLT series Caresha Please on Thursday night (Aug. 8) for a sit-down interview with friend and fellow rapper Saucy Santana.
Santana directly asked the City Girls rapper (born Caresha Brownlee) whether Diddy (real name: Sean Combs) had ever hit her during their relationship, referencing a 2016 surveillance video surfaced by CNN in May that shows Combs assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. Miami acknowledged that she had previously been in two abusive relationships, but said she didn’t experience domestic violence during her time with Diddy, when they were on and off between 2021 and 2023.
She also said she didn’t feel the need to insert herself into allegations against her ex — including a lawsuit from Ventura that was filed and settled in a matter of 24 hours in November, as well as other claims of sexual misconduct and lawsuits that have surfaced in the months since — since she wasn’t present for that behavior.
“I can’t speak on something that wasn’t my experience and I can’t speak on something that I don’t know,” Yung Miami said of why she had stayed silent. “I can’t speak on these allegations because I wasn’t around at the time.”
She also felt it was unfair that she was being asked to answer for Diddy’s alleged misconduct when his reported actions took place before their relationship. “I met Diddy when the world was celebrating him and giving him his flowers while he was still alive,” she said, referencing his Global Icon Award win and performance at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards and other honors. “So I was celebrating him with the world and I just feel like everybody is crucifying me for it.”
Ventura’s settled lawsuit opened the floodgates in November, with a pair of sexual assault suits against Diddy emerging later that same month, followed by one in December and one in February and then federal raids of his Miami and Los Angeles homes in March. While Diddy and his attorneys have maintained the hip-hop star’s innocence throughout the allegations, he did post a since-deleted apology video following the release of the surveillance video of himself and Cassie.
REVOLT, the home of Yung Miami’s Caresha Please series, was founded by Diddy in 2013. He stepped down as chairman of the network in November and reportedly sold his stake in the company to an anonymous buyer in March following his home raids.
