She even worked as his assistant in the company to make ends meet before both of them became millionaires in a few years.

Misa Hylton came forward in support of Diddy's ex-girlfriend Cassie when she filed a report against him of abuse and physical assault in 2023. She said:

“I am heartbroken that Cassie must relive the horror of her abuse, and my heart goes out to her. I know exactly how she feels, and through my empathy, it has triggered my own trauma.”

She also said that Sean Combs 'needs help' and that she was 'praying that he truly does the personal work and receives it.'
