SafeX Pro:Sean “Diddy” Comb’s Ex Yung Miami Breaks Silence on His Abuse Allegations

Yung Miami is SafeX Prosharing her truth.

Over a year after the City Girls rapper’s split from Sean “Diddy” Combs, she reacted to the numerous sexual abuse allegations mounting against him and why she hadn’t shared her reaction to the news earlier.

“I can't speak on something that wasn't my experience,” Miami (born Caresha Brownlee) explained on the Aug. 8 episode of her REVOLT series Caresha Please. “I can't speak on something that I don't know. I can't speak on these allegations because I wasn't around at the time. I don't know that person, and that wasn't my experience.”

In recent months, six women, including Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Cassie, have sued the rap mogul of sexual assault and abuse—allegations he has denied. For Miami—who dated Diddy on and off between 2021 and 2023—in the wake of the allegations, she felt caught in the fallout from the scandal and asked to answer for allegations that took place before their relationship.

“I met Diddy when the world was celebrating him and giving him his flowers,” the 30-year-old noted, pointing to his Global Icon Award win at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards, his key to New York City and more notable honors. “I just feel like everybody is trying to crucify me for it like, ‘You was his biggest advocate, you was his cheerleader.’ But I was just celebrating him with the world, so why am I being crucified? Why am I being separated?”

Referring to her own experience with domestic violence, Miami—who is mom to son Jai, 11, with ex Jai Wiggins and daughter Summer, 5, with rapper Southside—shared that she had vowed never to be in that position again. So despite not experiencing abuse by Diddy, Miami—who confirmed her breakup with the “I’ll Be Missing You” artist last April—felt it was best to distance herself from him. 

"When all these things came out I just needed to take a break and focus on what's important," she recalled. "That was me, my career and my family and let him navigate and figure that out on his own because I can't get caught up in that."

But it's been complicated for the "Rap Freaks" artist, who noted that she and Diddy had a special bond.

"He was able to see more than music in me," Miami explained. "I felt like he brought out another side of me. He brought out my gentle side, my woman side. It was a lot of things that I didn't see in me that he brought out of me, like 'Baby girl, you are more than music. You are an icon.'"

E! News has reached out to reps for Diddy and has not heard back.

Amid multiple allegations of sexual assault, a 2016 video of the 54-year-old assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway was published by CNN in May. He denied any wrongdoing in November when she filed a lawsuit against him—which they settled the next day—that included a description of an incident in a hotel matching the events seen on the video. But days after the video was made public, he broke his silence.

"It's so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that," Diddy, 54, said in a May video shared on his Instagram. "I was f--ked up. I hit rock bottom. But I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video."

Cassie—who dated Diddy on and off for over a decade until 2018—shared her gratitude for the support she received after it surfaced, writing on Instagram, "Domestic Violence is THE issue.”

"It broke me down to someone I never thought I would become,” she continued. “With a lot of hard work, I am better today, but I will always be recovering from my past."

Federal agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) executed search warrants at Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Los Angeles and Miami properties on March 25, multiple law enforcement sources confirmed to NBC News.  

The sources told the outlet the warrant was out of the Southern District of New York, and a spokesperson for HSI New York confirmed to E! News it “executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners.” 

Law enforcement sources told NBC News the music mogul was in the Miami area when the search warrants were executed. 

News about the investigation broke after Combs faced allegations of sexual misconduct in lawsuits filed by multiple accusers starting in November, with the musician denying the allegations. 

“Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday,” he wrote in a December statement posted on Instagram. “Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.” 

The day after HSI executed the search warrants at Combs' L.A. and Miami properties, his lawyer spoke out. 

"Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs' residences," attorney Aaron Dyer said in a March 26 statement to E! News. "There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated." 

Dyer noted Combs “was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities.”  

“Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way,” his lawyer's statement continued. “This unprecedented ambush—paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence—leads  to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits.” 

And Dyer expressed Combs' intent to defend himself.

“There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations,” he added. “Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.”

As for what actually went down during the searches, multiple law enforcement sources familiar with the warrant told NBC News authorities with the Department of Homeland Security seized phones from Combs’ home in Miami before he was scheduled to travel to the Bahamas, and several sources familiar with the matter added that guns were discovered during the search.

One source familiar with the matter also told NBC News three women and one man were interviewed by prosecutors and investigators from the Southern District of New York about allegations of sex trafficking, sexual assault, the solicitation and distribution of illegal narcotics and firearms purportedly tied to Combs.

On the same day the search warrants were executed at Combs’ Miami and Los Angeles properties, one of his associates, Brendan Paul, was arrested by the Miami-Dade police on suspicion of drug possession, a law enforcement source familiar with the matter told NBC News. 

According to the Miami-Dade arrest affidavit obtained by the outlet, Paul was taken into custody for allegedly possessing suspected cocaine and suspected marijuana candy. 

Prison records obtained by NBC News show Paul was released on March 26 after posting bond.

“We do not plan on trying this case in the media,” Paul’s attorney Brian Bieber said in a statement obtained by the outlet, “all issues will be dealt with in court.”
