Yung Miami speaks for the first time about her former relationship with disgraced music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs following his high-profile sex trafficking lawsuits and investigation.
The former City Girls rapper – real name Caresha Brownlee – said on Thursday’s episode of her podcast “Caresha Please” that her agreement with Combs was “beneficial” for both of them.
“I think I was able to step in as a brand ambassador for DeLeon (Tequila) and take it to a whole new level,” she said.
“I feel like I was an asset. I honestly feel like Diddy… I don’t know what his intentions were – whether it was business or whether he really liked me – but when he got together with me, he really saw something in me.”
“I feel like I stepped into his world and was able to take everything that was going on with him to a new level,” Yung Miami continued, noting that she started her podcast Revolt at Combs’ suggestion.
“With him, I was able to take my career to the next level. I went to the Met Gala and got ready for Vogue.”
In addition, the 30-year-old “Act Up” rapper claimed that she is neither interested in handbags nor flying on private jets.
“I feel like I’m under the leadership of a mogul, I want to learn something,” she explained. “I want to learn something about the business. I entered this relationship thinking I wanted to be a mogul.”
Rumors of a relationship between Combs, 54, and the Miami-born hitmaker first emerged in 2021, although they did not confirm their relationship until June 2022.
He was first accused of rape and domestic violence by his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. In her November 2023 lawsuit, she claimed the Bad Boy Records founder frequently physically abused her during their decades-long relationship.
Within 24 hours of Ventura’s filing, the two parties agreed to an undisclosed amount of money.
But that was just the beginning of Combs’ legal troubles, as the Grammy winner faced seven more lawsuits accusing him of drugging, raping and trafficking women over a 30-year period.
In addition to the lawsuits, he is also currently under investigation by the Department of Homeland Security for sex trafficking. In March, his homes in Los Angeles and Miami were raided by the government.
In one of the lawsuits filed against Combs, producer Rodney “Lil’ Rod” Jones – who is suing Diddy for sexual assault – named Yung Miami, Instagram model Jade Ramey and 50 Cent’s ex Daphne Joy as sex workers in Combs’ employment.
Yung Miami denied the allegations in April, saying, “I’m not a prostitute. I’ve never sold a day in my life. And I hate how that’s portrayed 😣.”
Although she claimed she did not have the same experiences as some of Combs’ accusers, the “Caresha Please” host revealed on Thursday’s episode that she is no longer in a relationship with him in light of the allegations.
“With everything that’s going on, I don’t want to get involved. I just need a minute to relax,” she said.
