An ex-sex worker claims Diddy and Cassie “would fly me to wherever they were” when the anniversary of the Notorious B.I.G.'s death came around each year.
The claim comes from a Sean Combs: The Reckoning interview with Clayton Howard, who earlier this year made headlines in connection with his lawsuit against the former couple. In the newly released Netflix docuseries, which counts 50 Cent as an executive producer, Howard first recalled his initial meeting with Cassie at a hotel. Familiar details from the trial and related coverage followed, including details of so-called “freak-off” sessions, which Howard said were “heavily regulated” by Diddy.
“The intercourse would usually last maybe four or five rounds depending on how many times she climaxed,” Howard said. “It was a little under two days, maybe 18 to 20 hours, and they gave me about $6,000.”
All told, the former sex worker said he was involved with such activities for around eight years.
“Every March 9, the day Biggie got murdered, they would fly me out to wherever they were,” Howard said. “I would hang out, drink, and party with them for three [or] four days while I had sex with Casandra. I don’t know if that was his release for that day or whatever, but they always called me on March 9.”
The new documentary, directed by Alexandria Stapleton, also pulls from conversations with two jurors who were part of the decision to end Diddy’s sex trafficking and racketeering trial with a split verdict. The 56-year-old was found guilty of two Mann Act violations, but not guilty of the more serious charges in the case.
“You can say he was a terrible person, but domestic violence wasn’t one of the charges,” one juror, identified only as Juror 160, said in reference to 2016 hotel footage of Cassie being assaulted.
Claims about Diddy’s relationship with his mother, Janice Combs, have also received attention following the doc’s release. In a statement, a spokesperson for the Bad Boy Records founder took issue with the “one-sided narrative” they argue is being presented.
“Many of the people featured have longstanding personal grievances, financial motives, or credibility issues that have been documented for years,” the spokesperson said. “Several of these stories have already been addressed in court filings, and others were never raised in any legal forum because they’re simply not true. The project was built around a one-sided narrative led by a publicly admitted adversary, and it repeats allegations without context, evidence, or verification.”
