After the news of the lawsuit dropped, Sean “Diddy” Combs “vehemently” denied the allegations brought forth by Cassandra Ventura, per AP News. Instead, Combs’ lawyer, Ben Brafman, claimed Ventura was looking for a hefty payout. He shared, “For the past six months, Mr. Combs has been subjected to Ms. Ventura’s persistent demand of $30 million, under the threat of writing a damaging book about their relationship, which was unequivocally rejected as blatant blackmail.” Brafman said that because they refused to give her the money she resorted to a lawsuit “seeking a payday.”
Despite Comb’s denial, if Ventura’s allegations against the rapper prove true, then former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani thinks he can get the $30 million requested and more. Rahmani exclusively told Nicki Swift, “If Cassie proves her case, the $30 million she reportedly demanded, or more, is easily attainable.”

Like many, Rahmani found the allegations against Combs incredibly shocking. He shared, “The allegations of rape and physical abuse stick out, but the claims that Diddy forced Cassie to have sex with male prostitutes while he watched and recorded are particularly shocking.” All of Ventura’s claims can lead the two into a lengthy court battle that may be eerily similar to another famous case. Rahmani explained, “Most cases settle, but it’s harder to settle now that these salacious allegations have been made public. Diddy may have to try the case to clear his name, like Johnny Depp.”
