"I think when you do something like that, that's not the first time"— Boosie slams Diddy over Cassie assault video 

Days after Diddy’s video assaulting Cassie went viral, popular rapper Boosie Badazz shared his thoughts about the whole fiasco as he spoke to VladTV on Monday, May 27, 2024. Talking about how “it is a pattern,” Boosie slammed Diddy and said:

“Man, all you gotta do is restrain the woman. Grab them hands and hold them hands down. I don’t think a woman can make you mad enough to do that, I don’t think nothing can make you mad enough to-- That was some sick sh*t... I think when you do something like that, that’s not the first time. That’s got to be, it’s a pattern man. It’s just like when you whoop a n***a ass or get in a fight with n****s. You get better and better.”

Just before 1 pm ET on May 17, CNN released surveillance footage of Diddy kicking and beating his former girlfriend, Cassie, in the hallway of a hotel in Los Angeles. As per CNN, the video is from 2016, where Cassie can be seen getting dragged by her former partner as he hits her in the hallway.

Cassie and Sean 'Diddy' Combs met in 2005. They were in a relationship for 11 years as they started dating in 2007 and were together till 2018. However, 5 years after the couple parted ways, Cassie filed a lawsuit against Combs, claiming that he assaulted her physically, s*xually, and mentally while the two were in a relationship.

In her lawsuit, Cassie also mentioned that Combs often forced her into alcohol and drugs. Moreover, she claimed that he also pressured her to have s*x with s*x workers, as he filmed the entire thing. However, a few days later, the two reached an undisclosed settlement, as Cassie withdrew all the charges.
