News about Dawn Richard

Heralded for decades as rap royalty, Sean ' Diddy ' Combs now sits alone in an isolation cell in a notorious New York City jail - deemed too much of a 'threat to the community' by authorities to be let out even after offering a $50 million bond. It's a stunning fall for the 'It's All About the Benjamins' rapper, who was once hip-hop's wealthiest and most influential mogul. So how did we get here? Here is a look at the key events that have unfolded since prosecutors announced he was being investigated late last year.

Usher 's connection to disgraced music mogul Sean ' Diddy ' Combs didn't stop WNBA star Angel Reese's good time over the weekend. The injured Chicago Sky rookie was serenaded by Usher at the newly opened Intuit Dome in Los Angeles , where Reese was briefly coaxed into a duet with the 45-year-old R&B legend. As always, the lanky 22-year-old dressed for the occasion in a white summer dress, which may have helped Usher to spot her in the front row of his performance on Sunday.

A number of fans expressed skepticism on Sunday after Usher 's full X/ Twitter account had been temporarily deleted, coming shortly after the arrest of his mentor Sean ' Diddy ' Combs Monday in connection with federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges. The eight-time Grammy winner, 45, said in a post Sunday, 'Account got hacked and damn y'all ran with it! See you tonight at Intuit Dome.'

Diddy's ex-girlfriend Cassie stepped out on the streets of New York City on Thursday and appeared to be in high spirits as she smiled and waved at fans, three days after her ex was indicted by the feds. Diddy was previously filmed beating Cassie up in a hotel hallway in 2016 (inset).

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' week seemed off to a good start. He spent Monday morning relaxing on the turf in New York's Central Park before meeting up with his son Christian to wander the streets of Manhattan. Adoring fans ran up to snap selfies and shake the hand of their idol, who flashed a prized smile from behind a pair of thick superstar sunglasses as he revelled in the attention. But Diddy's big day out in the Big Apple was brought to an abrupt end when Homeland Security officers busted into his Manhattan hotel room and took him into custody late last night. The major move comes 10 months after allegations of sexual and other abuse against the music mogul, and an announcement from prosecutors that he was being investigated for sex trafficking.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs was pictured hours before his arrest on a walk in midtown Manhattan with his son Christian Combs Monday. Prior to being taken into custody following an indictment from a grand jury, Combs smiled and posed for selfies with fans, seemingly unaware of the looming legal woes coming later in the evening.

Sean ' Diddy ' Combs' legal problems seem to be growing, but at least one person named as a witness has come forward to say she never saw the abuse alleged in the latest lawsuit against the music mogul. Kalenna Harper, 42,  who was a member of the group Dirty Money,  along with Dawn Richard, who is suing Combs for 'terrorizing and sexually abusing' her , is trying to stay out of the legal fray. Harper released a statement on Friday denying she witnessed Combs, 54, abusing his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, with whom he has settled a lawsuit, or 'any behavior that could be considered abusive or unlawful' while working with Bad Boy Records founder, according a statement shared in her Instagram Stories.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs is currently facing another lawsuit amid his mounting legal woes as Danity Kane's Dawn Richard sued the rapper for 'terrorizing and sexually abusing' her. The Coming Home performer, 54 - who was recently 'ordered to pay $100 million in a sexual assault judgment' - has notably been embroiled in legal issues and sexual abuse allegations. Richard, 41, crossed paths with the music artist in 2004 while appearing on his MTV series, Making The Band - and became a member of the girl group, Danity Kane, on the show.

In Instagram posts on Monday, Aubrey O'Day announced that Homeland Security agents searched Diddy's homes. In posts shared with her one million followers, the 40-year-old singer, who revealed her doubts in February that she was being followed after criticizing the 54-year-old hip hop mogul, said she was "reap[ing]" what she had "sow[n]." After winning season three of MTV's Making The Band 3, O'Day came to fame as the lead singer of the girl group Danity Kane, which later signed a contract with Diddy's Bad Boy Records.

Cassie filed a lawsuit in Federal District Court in Manhattan on Thursday alleging that the rapper, P Diddy, owned and assaulted her for more than a decade. Aubrey O'Day expressed sympathy for her on Instagram and wrote, "Been trynna tell you y'all for years." This queen @cassie is in need of prayers.' Cassie and her family are in X'Prayer for peace and healing,' she said. You are beautiful and brave.' Diddy has vehemently denied all of the allegations, including the 'offensive and inflammatory ones.'

Aubrey O'Day showcased her astonishing figure in a skintight black dress with matching leather jacket with fringe on the sleeves, three months after she appeared on social media to be remarkably different from how she appears on social media. The singer, 38, looked healthier and more tanned skin on Thursday after sparking headlines for her appearance with her dogs on a quiet stroll in Palm Springs, California. The performer's waist-length blonde hair in loose curls, a nude matte lipstick, bronzer, and gold smokey eyeshadow stood out at SiriusXM Studios.
