WATCH THE VIDEO HERE On Day 4 of her highly anticipated testimony, Cassie Ventura returned to NAIJAONPOINT stand in the federal case against music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. After delivering days of emotional and detailed accounts of the alleged abuse she says she endured during their relationship, Cassie faced her toughest challenge yet: cross-examination by Diddy’s high-powered defense team. Attorneys for the hip-hop executive question her timeline, motivations, and memory in an attempt to cast doubt on her credibility before the jury. But Cassie held firm, even as the pressure mounted. Following the defense’s questioning, federal prosecutors step in for re-direct, allowing Cassie to clarify earlier statements and reaffirm the heart of her allegations — that she was manipulated, mistreated, and controlled for years by someone she once trusted. Her testimony has been a central part of the case, drawing public attention not just because of her fame, but because of the courage it takes to speak out under such scrutiny. Below is the full transcript from Cassie’s Day 4 testimony, offering a raw and unfiltered look at her voice, her truth, and her fight for justice.
