The Wild, Unexpected Connection Between Prince, Diddy and Cassie

Prince, who passed away in 2016, was stunningly brought up during a witness testimony.

If youโ€™ve been paying attention to Sean โ€œDiddyโ€ Combsโ€™ ongoing federal sex trafficking trial, then you already know thereโ€™s been a lot of shocking twists and names dropped. But the latest name thatโ€™s been brought up might be one of the most surprising of all.

During her testimony on Thursday (May 29), Diddyโ€™s former assistant โ€œMiaโ€ alleged numerous, heinous accusations against the Bad Boy mogul. Chief among them were allegations of ย sexual assault and violence, the latter of which she recalled a specific incident that involved both her, Diddyโ€™s then-girlfriend Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura and the late singer Prince. But itโ€™s not in the way you might think.

As she spoke, Mia said that she and Cassie were like โ€œsistersโ€ as they both worked with Diddy back at that time, but part of her job was to keep a close eye on the โ€œMe and Uโ€ singer and her whereabouts. She recalled that one day, she and Cassie were cooped up at a hotel while Diddy was allegedly out with his children.

They then received a phone call from a friend who told them that there was a huge party happening at Princeโ€™s house and that they should come. While they debated on whether or not to โ€œsneak outโ€ for a while, the two women ultimately decided to go and then hurry back before Diddy would know they were gone.

Once there, Mia and Cassie enjoyed their time there, witnessing the iconic โ€œKissโ€ singer perform and dance. However, their fun was cut short once they heard and saw that the now disgraced hip-hop mogul was also in the building. After seeing him, both ladies took off running from out of Princeโ€™s home โ€” unfortunately, Mia was the only one who allegedly escaped Diddyโ€™s wrath. And it was there in the yard of a legendary singer like Prince, that Cassie was allegedly attacked but help eventually got to her.

โ€œHe caught up to her and had her on the ground,โ€ Mia said per PEOPLE. โ€œHe started attacking her, but Princeโ€™s security swiftly intervened.โ€

This story lines up mostly with Cassieโ€™s own previous testimony where she recounted that she fell in the bushes but couldnโ€™t remember whether or not Diddy had assaulted her at Princeโ€™s home.

โ€œIt was a once in a lifetime experience,โ€ Ventura said at the time per PEOPLE before adding that she didnโ€™t tell Diddy she wanted to go see Prince out of fear "he would say no." 

After the incident, Mia and Cassie went their separate ways and had two totally different experiences. While Mia was allegedly suspended without pay citing Diddyโ€™s feelings that she was being โ€œinsubordinateโ€ by attending the party, Cassie allegedly was severely beaten, got luggage thrown at her, and was called out her name.

 Combs is currently facing federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. If convicted, he could spend up to life in prison.
