Because of his mounting legal woes including over 140 lawsuits for sexual assault or misconduct as well as a looming May 2025 trial for federal charges of racketeering and sex trafficking, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs isn’t exactly enjoying the benefit of the doubt from many.

There’s one, however, who’s been more than willing to defend the embattled mogul: his former Dirty Money groupmate Kalenna Harper.

Best known as one-third of the Bad Boy band (alongside Diddy and former Danity Kane member Dawn Richard), Harper rose to fame in the late 2000’s on the backs of hit singles ‘Coming Home,’ ‘Loving You No More,’ and ‘Hello Good Morning’ before the trio said goodbye via a disbandment announcement in 2012.

Although she’s fallen into relative obscurity since, Kalenna made headlines recently for her jaw-dropping chat with Breakbeat Media (published to YouTube on October 30).

When quizzed about Diddy’s legal woes, she praised her former groupmate and label boss.

“[He’s someone I] always wanted to be like,” she said.

That is, before she weighed in on some of the matters specifically. Setting her sights on Cassie Ventura (who sued Diddy for rape and physical abuse), Harper suggest the singer-actress was a regular drug user.

“Love her to death. Naive. Liked getting high. She likes partying,” Kalenna said of Ventura. “I saw Cassie grow up from a little girl that was willing to, like, give everybody motherf**king, you know, lap dances, basically. You know, get drunk and just have a good, like, model time.”

Though at least somewhat cordial when discussing the ‘Long Way 2 Go’ singer, Harper wasn’t nearly as jovial when addressing her former groupmate Dawn.

“I don’t f**k with Dawn like that,” she said before sharing she couldn’t corroborate Richard’s claims of brutality outlined in a recently filed lawsuit against Diddy. “And I’m going to f**king stand on business, I didn’t see any of that. What I saw was, ‘what the f**k is going on with you, because you’re acting weird, you’re a weird bi**h,’ is what I see. And it’s a list of ni**as, where y’all at, talk about it. Dawn’s a weird motherf**ker, man!”

At the time the suit hit headlines, Combs quickly denied it – even claiming Dawn was seeking a quick “pay day and promotion.”
