A video recently emerged showing Sean “Diddy” Combs brutally assaulting his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura in the hallway of the hotel.
The video sent shockwaves throughout the entertainment industry.
And this CNN host asked rapper Cam’ron one question about Sean “Diddy” Combs that she instantly regretted.
The music entertainment industry was rocked in March when videos surfaced showing federal agents raiding Sean “Diddy” Combs’ homes in both Miami Beach and Los Angeles.
“Diddy” is facing multiple sexual assault lawsuits and is part of an ongoing sex-trafficking investigation.
After denying her allegations, security video footage from 2016 emerged last week that shows Combs brutally beating his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in the hallway of a hotel.
“The footage, which CNN said was compiled from multiple camera angles dated March 5, 2016, appears to show a half-naked Combs wearing a towel and pursuing Ventura into a hallway at the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Century City,” Breitbart reported. “Combs can be seen grabbing her by the back of the neck, throwing her on the ground, and kicking her.”
Combs previously denied abusing Ventura.
The emergence of the security footage caused many to cast doubts on his claim of being innocent in the multiple other lawsuits filed against him for sexual assault.
On Monday, rapper Cam’ron appeared for an interview on CNN’s NewsNight with Abby Phillip to discuss the allegations against Combs.
“I’m totally against it so, when I saw the video, I was kinda upset with it being that I know him,” Cam’ron said. “He’s not necessarily a friend, but, yeah, I was upset when I saw it.”
Philip then asked him if he could “recognize that kind of anger” within Combs.
“I don’t know him like that,” he responded. “What do you mean did I recognize him? I seen him.”
“What do you mean my experiences?” he continued. “I seen him and I thought it was disgusting. I didn’t do a zoom in to see if it was really him or nothing, but he admitted it was him so, yeah, it was him.”
He refused to offer his comments, instead telling Philip that “what I think about it don’t matter.”
Cam’ron then paused and took a sip of his Pink Horse Power supplement that is designed to increase male libido.
“Sorry, I’m gonna’ go get some cheeks after this horse power drink,” he said.
The interview took a turn for the worse when Philip asked him if music industry insiders protected Combs throughout the years.
“Who the talent agent for this joint?” he asked. “Like, you think I be sitting around watching what Diddy doing?”
“I didn’t know this was a Diddy joint that y’all invited me to,” he added. “Yo, who booked me for this joint?”
On Tuesday, he addressed the interview on his show and explained his side of the story.
Cam’ron was furious that they didn’t invite him to talk about the success of his podcast with fellow rapper Mase or about the “positive stuff we do in the community.”
“Every day, five days a week, Mase talks to kids on a Zoom call,” he explained. “Every day at five o’clock, it (doesn’t) matter what’s going on, what’s happening, where he’s at. It could be money involved, it could be a photoshoot, he stops what he’s doing to talk to kids around the world about being positive and doing what they believe in.”
