Cassie claps back at Kanye West for trashing her and supporting Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
Kanye West just made another enemy.
Cassie Ventura indirectly told the “Stronger” rapper, 47, to “shut the f–k up” after West publicly defended her ex, disgraced music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.
The “Me & U” singer, 38, reshared a post from the Shade Room that featured a photo of rapper Playboi Carti and a screenshot of a message from his X account that read, “YE STFU.”
Ventura did not add any comments of her own to her IG story.
On Tuesday, West went on another X rant where he claimed that Ventura “extorted” Combs, 55. Ventura, who dated Combs for more than a decade, filed a sexual lawsuit against her ex in 2023. The lawsuit was quickly settled outside of court. Video evidence of Combs physically assaulting Ventura from 2016 was later released in 2024.
“HOW EVERY NI**A YOU KNOW HIT A GIRL BEFORE BUT EVERYBODY SO MAD AT PUFF,” West wrote on X. “SO CASSIE AINT EXTORT PUFF? CASSIE CAME TO PUFF AND SAID GIMME 30 MILLION OR IMA RELEASE A TELL ALL BOOK THATS LOOK LIKE EXTORTION TO ME.”
West went after others in his tirade, spouting off on Carti for leaving him off his latest album and asking his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, if he could have a verse from the former couple’s daughter, North West, 11. The next day, West attacked Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s kids in another rant.
Ventura and Combs dated from 2007 to 2018.
In May 2024, CNN released a video from 2016 of Combs abusing Ventura in a hotel. Combs could be seen kicking, dragging, stomping and throwing items at his then-girlfriend in the troubling footage.
Combs later released an apology video on Instagram, citing his “inexcusable behavior” for beating Ventura and saying, “I was f–ked up.”
Ventura — who is now married to Alex Fine and is pregnant with her third child — released a statement after the video leaked last year and said the abuse she suffered “broke me down to someone I never thought I would become.”
“With a lot of hard work, I am better today, but I will always be recovering from my past,” she added.
Ventura also thanked “family, friends, strangers, and those I have yet to meet” for their support, writing, “The outpouring of love has created a place for my younger self to settle and feel safe now, but this is only the beginning.”
In September, Combs was arrested and charged with racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. He’s been accused of abusing, threatening and coercing women for years to fulfill his sexual desires, including allegedly forcing women into drugged-up, dayslong sexual orgies with male prostitutes, called “Freak-Offs.”
The music mogul has pleaded not guilty and is behind bars in Brooklyn. His trial is scheduled to begin in May.
West recently featured Combs on a new song that also included his daughter, North. Combs spoke to West on a phone call from jail, where he encouraged West to “get behind the mike” and “get back to smiling.”
A source exclusively told The Post that Combs didn’t know his jailhouse call with West was being recorded for the masses to hear. The insider added that Combs “thought he was having a friend call him to check on his kids.”
