"Naive, liked getting high" - Kalenna Harper claims Cassie didn't seem 'queenly' enough to run Diddy's empire

During the latest episode of the Trappin Anonymous podcast, singer-songwriter Kalenna Harper spoke about her former associate Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ongoing legal troubles. Uploaded on the Breakbeat Media YouTube channel on October 30, part of the conversation was centered around Combs’ former girlfriend and accuser, Cassie Ventura.

“Love her to death, naïve, liked getting high, she likes partying, she liked that. That was her thing. She is a model. She was well taken care of,” Kalenna described as she knew Cassie back in the day.

Harper further claimed that Cassie was “spoiled” and her life revolved around living and partying in “white f*cking condos” in New York, with high glass ceilings. The 42-year-old also mentioned how Cassie behaved like a “rich girl” who just wanted to hang out with her friends all the time and wasn’t “queenly enough” to run Diddy’s millions of dollars worth of empire.

Exploring further Kalenna Harper’s recent remarks on Cassie amid the ongoing Diddy scandal

Kalenna Harper was one-third of the hip-hop group Diddy-Dirty Money, which also consisted of Sean Combs and Dawn Richard, and was active from 2009 to 2012.

In the aforementioned podcast, Harper spoke about her former bandmates as well as her relationship with singer, dancer, model, and actress Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, who was in an on-again off-again relationship with the Bad Boy Records founder between 2007 and 2018.

“I saw Cassie grow up from a little girl. That was willing to, like, give everybody motherf*cking, you know, lap dances, basically. You know, get drunk and just have a good, like, model time,” the Philadelphia native claimed.

Kalenna Harper alleged that Cassie received a weekly allowance of $30,000 to $50,000 from Combs. However, she said she wasn’t “smart” with her money and didn’t use it to find opportunities for herself or others, such as starting a business, owning a home, or simply making her own music without Diddy’s help.

The former Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta cast member further claimed Cassie and her family had cars and flights sponsored by Combs, and that Ventura reportedly blew off her allowances on partying and “getting high” rather than doing something constructive.

Kalenna Harper mentioned that instead of being “queenly” and helping Diddy with his family, kids, and businesses, Cassie allegedly acted “naïve” and was always busy having a “good time.”

Elsewhere, Kalenna joked about “still using baby oil” and refused to talk about Diddy’s afterparties. She mentioned how she “always wanted to be like” Combs and has admired him ever since she has known him.

As for Dawn Richard, Harper called her a “weird b*tch” and refuted the former’s accusations against the Love Album maker in her September 2024 lawsuit.

“I don’t f*ck with Dawn like that. And I’m going to f*cking stand on business, I didn’t see any of that. What I saw was, ‘What the f*ck is going on with you, because you’re acting weird… is what I see. And it’s a list of n*ggas, where y’all at, talk about it. Dawn’s a weird motherf*cker, man!” Kalenna added.

Notably, last month, Dawn Richard filed her s*xual assault lawsuit against Diddy, where Kalenna Harper was mentioned “33 times.” In the wake of this, Richard took to Instagram and shared how she respected “Dawn’s right to recount her experiences,” but asserted that it was her “personal perspective and should not be interpreted as a universal truth applicable to everyone involved.”

Harper also dismissed the part of Richard’s lawsuit, which claimed both of them allegedly witnessed Diddy being violent towards Cassie at his LA home.

“It’s important to understand that while I was present in some of the same professional settings mentioned, many of the allegations and incidents described in this suit are not representative of my experiences, and some do not align with my own truth,” Kalenna wrote.

Meanwhile, these are not the only times the Space and Time artist has addressed the ongoing Diddy scandal. Earlier, in May, Harper told Rolling Stone during their six-month investigation into Combs that he was “f*cking cool as sh*t,” and called out his former associates who weren’t siding with him as the ones suffering from “disgruntled employee syndrome.”

At the time, the 2016 hotel surveillance footage had just been released by CNN which showed Diddy being physically abusive towards Cassie.

Not only that, in March, Diddy’s houses in Los Angeles and Miami were also raided by the feds as part of a Homeland Security Investigation into the several trafficking charges brought against him in the mounting lawsuits, starting with Cassie.

Combs’ ex-girlfriend sued him in November 2023 for $30 million citing years of s*xual assault, physical abuse, and more, which was settled outside court in less than 24 hours.

Since September 16, Sean Combs has been behind bars on charges of s*x trafficking with force, fraud, or coercion, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. His trial is scheduled to begin in May 2025.
