Cassie has revealed she is no longer living in the U.S. after testifying against her ex-boyfriend Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs during last year’s trial.
The Me & U singer, full name Casandra Ventura, revealed in a court declaration last month that she has no intention of living in the U.S. again following the May 2025 trial.
“I reside outside of the United States. I do not intend to move back to the United States,” she wrote in the declaration, obtained by TMZ, adding that she is still an American citizen.
Cassie, who has three children with her husband, Alex Fine, did not disclose where she is currently living. However, she noted that “it would be significantly more convenient” for her to attend legal proceedings in New York, where her lawyers are based, instead of California.
The declaration was filed as part of an ongoing legal action that male escort Clayton Howard filed against Cassie and Combs in California in July last year.
Howard claimed that the musicians drugged, manipulated, and traumatised him during their freak-offs. He also alleged that Cassie gave him a sexually transmitted disease and had an abortion after he allegedly got her pregnant.
Cassie, who dated Combs on and off between 2007 and 2018, filed a lawsuit against the Last Night rapper in November 2023 in which she accused him of sexually assaulting and physically abusing her during their relationship. He denied the allegations, and the case was settled for $20 million ($15 million) within 24 hours.
The singer testified about the alleged nature of their relationship during the 2025 trial, where Combs stood accused of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution.
He was acquitted of the two most serious charges but found guilty of two counts of the prostitution-related charge. He was sentenced to four years and two months in prison in October 2025.
Ahead of his sentencing, Cassie submitted a victim impact statement to the judge in which she revealed that she had moved out of the New York area because she was worried that Combs or his associates would “come after” her and her family.
“I am so scared that if he walks free, his first actions will be swift retribution towards me and others who spoke up about his abuse at trial,” she wrote. “As much progress as I have made in recovering from his abuse, I remain very much afraid of what he is capable of and the malice he undoubtedly harbours towards me for having the bravery to tell the truth.”
Combs is set to be released from prison on 15 April 2028.
