Sean “Diddy” Combs and Cassie Ventura packed on the PDA during a performance before their 2018 split.
A video of Diddy’s April 2018 performance in Dubai resurfaced this week as the embattled rapper remains in jail awaiting trial on sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges.
In the clip obtained by TMZ, Diddy performed his song “I Need a Girl (Part 2)” at the opening night of the now-closed Gotha nightclub with his then-girlfriend Cassie by his side.
The couple were all smiles and looked adorable on stage as Diddy sang and Cassie danced beside him.
At one point, Cassie cuddles with the Bad Boy Records founder and he puts his arms around her.
Diddy then opened her arms, asking for a hug from Cassie, and she complied before moving to the side of the stage.
For the performance, Diddy wore an all-black outfit, while Cassie showed off her figure in a white lace outfit.
The hip-hop mogul’s sons, Christian and Justin, were also present at the event, with Justin even performing his new collaboration with Chris Brown, “Love You Better,” for the crowd.
Later that October, Cassie’s representative announced that she and Diddy had announced their separation and that the couple had been separated for some time.
The video resurfaced months after CNN released 2016 surveillance footage of Diddy appearing to hit Cassie in a hotel hallway.
Diddy later apologized for the assault but continued to deny all other allegations the singer made against him in the November 2023 lawsuit.
In her complaint, Cassi accused Diddy of various horrific allegations, including drugging her, beating her, and forcing her to participate in so-called “horror parties” – sex parties drug and alcohol use is believed to be associated with prostitutes.
She also accused Diddy of raping her after she last tried to leave him in 2018,
Diddy settled the lawsuit with Cassie just one day after she filed the complaint, but his attorney insisted that it was not an admission of wrongdoing.
Since then, several other men and women have filed lawsuits against the disgraced record executive, accusing him of sexual assault, harassment, sex trafficking and gang rape – allegations charges which he also denied.
In September, months after two of his homes were raided by federal agents, Diddy was arrested in Manhattan on three felony charges. He pleaded not guilty to all of them.
Diddy remains behind bars in Brooklyn after being denied bail.
