Under-fire rap megastar Diddy looks on top of the world as he and his then-girlfriend Cassie party during the Bad Boy Sound Clash in Kingston, Jamaica, back in January 2013. The now embattled hip hop producer was having a blast at the capital city’s Lime Light Club, blaring a horn, swigging from a bottle of his Ciroc vodka and smoking a large rollup cigarette as lively crowds cheered him during the free show. His much younger girlfriend, singer Cassie, was fabulous in a skimpy outfit and lots of jewelry as she stood next to him, as well as British boxing champion Lenox Lewis and Jamaican dancehall stars Beenie Man, Kiprich and Tommy Lee Sparta. The now married mother-of-two recently sued the wealthy music mogul for sexual battery, assault and trafficking, settling her shockingly detailed lawsuit for a large undisclosed sum. These striking images show the then 23-year-old – real name Casandra Ventura – wearing bright white nail polish. It’s a noteworthy detail as her lawsuit alleged that Diddy – real name Sean Combs – forced her to wear that color to contrast against the dark skin of the male prostitutes he allegedly routinely forced her to have sex with as he watched and recorded. At the time these images were shot, Diddy was aged 44 and the pair had been together for six years. Meanwhile, Combs has been keeping a low profile as he is still facing various lawsuits from three women claiming sexual assault as well as former producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who alleges Combs sexually harassed and threatened him. He has vehemently denied all allegations.
