Stevie J Alleges Diddy Was On Drugs During Cassie Assault, Report
4 min read
In a shocking revelation, music producer Stevie J, once a close associate of Diddy, has claimed that the music mogul was under the influence of drugs during a widely publicized assault on singer Cassie. The revelation came during Stevie J’s appearance in the recent TMZ documentary, The Downfall of Diddy, where he discussed the troubling video that surfaced, showing Diddy allegedly attacking Cassie. The video has sparked intense public backlash, adding to the controversy surrounding Diddy’s recent legal woes.
Stevie J’s Surprising Allegations
Stevie J, a member of Diddy’s legendary production team known as the Hitmen, has often been a staunch defender of the Bad Boy Records founder. However, his stance appeared to shift when he sat down with TMZ’s Harvey Levin to discuss the disturbing footage. Stevie J admitted he was stunned by the video, describing it as an “emotional moment” for both him and Diddy.
“He was hurt that that video came out; it crushed him,” Stevie J told Levin. According to Stevie, the two had a candid conversation shortly after the video’s release. He claimed Diddy opened up about being in a “dark place” at the time, attributing his actions to heavy drug use.
“He was just doing a lot of drugs, and it was dark for him,” Stevie J revealed.
This revelation about Diddy’s alleged drug use adds a new layer to the narrative, as it’s the first time someone from Diddy’s inner circle has publicly claimed that substances played a role in the incident. While rumors of Diddy’s substance abuse have circulated for years, this is the most direct accusation linked to a specific event.
The Fallout from the Video
The video in question, which went viral earlier this year, has been a source of embarrassment and legal troubles for Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs. According to Stevie J, Diddy’s initial reaction was not one of regret for his actions but rather concern over who might see the footage.
“He was like, ‘Yo, my daughters and my mom gotta see this,'” Stevie J recounted. He added that Diddy seemed more concerned about the impact on his loved ones than the act itself, which led to some heated debate between Stevie and Levin during the interview.
When asked by Levin if Diddy’s reaction was selfish, Stevie J pushed back, suggesting that no one would want to relive such a dark moment in their lives.
“Who wants to see themselves beating on a girl?” Stevie J defended. “I think that would hurt all of us.”
"He was doing a lot of drugs."

Support Dwindles Amid Legal Troubles
Stevie J’s comments are among the few voices attempting to offer some context, if not outright defense, of Diddy amid a barrage of allegations. Once a towering figure in the hip-hop industry, Diddy has seen his reputation plummet in 2024, as he’s currently facing serious charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking. The legal cases have led to a significant erosion of support, with many former allies distancing themselves from the embattled mogul.
However, Stevie J’s acknowledgment that Diddy was battling personal demons during the time of the assault does little to absolve him in the court of public opinion. Social media reactions have largely been unsympathetic, with many calling for accountability rather than excuses.
Diddy’s Infamous Apology and What’s Next
Interestingly, Stevie J’s account aligns with the narrative Diddy himself offered in his infamous Instagram apology video, where he admitted to being in a “bad place” but did not specify drug use. The public apology, seen by many as too little too late, did not stem the tide of criticism and legal challenges that have since ensued.
With a trial looming, Diddy’s future hangs in the balance. The allegations and controversies not only threaten his legacy but also his freedom. As more people from his past speak out, the pressure mounts on the former rap icon to address the claims head-on.
The claims by Stevie J add another layer of complexity to the already tumultuous story surrounding Diddy. Whether the allegations of drug use will play a role in his defense remains to be seen, but it’s clear that the fallout from the assault video and the subsequent revelations have left a significant stain on his legacy. As Diddy prepares for his day in court, the world will be watching to see if any of his former allies will continue to stand by him or if more will come forward with their own stories.
