Songwriter Tiffany Red details working with Cassie Ventura when she dated Diddy.

Sean"Diddy" Combs attends Sean"Diddy" Combs Album Release Party For"The Love Album: Off the Grid," Sept. 15, 2023, in New York City.Long before the video surfaced showing Sean “Diddy” Combs assaulting singer and ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura in a hotel hallway, that moment had been tormenting Grammy-winning songwriter Tiffany Red for years, according to Red.

“These things have messed up my career and my world, too,” Red told "IMPACT x Nightline" in an episode titled "Diddy's Downfall," which is now streaming on Hulu. Born in Harlem, New York, Sean Combs was determined to be a big name in the music industry. He attended Howard University for two years, throwing large parties as a party promoter. His reputation quickly caught the eyes of celebrities and record labels. “Diddy has a somewhat unique trajectory, it didn't take him a long time to become famous,” said culture critic Jamilah Lemieux.

Tiffany Red, Grammy-winning songwriter and founder of The 100 Percenters, spoke to ABC News' Byron Pitts about her friendship with Cassie, and her experiences working with Diddy.To commemorate Biggie’s death, Combs released “I’ll Be Missing You” with singer Faith Evans. As he mourned the death of his collaborator and friend, the song catapulted Diddy to superstardom.

Shyne was convicted of two counts of assault, reckless endangerment, and gun possession, and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. He served nearly 9 years and was released in 2009. Currently, Shyne is a high-ranking politician as the Leader of the Opposition in his native Belize. While Combs proved himself to be a successful businessman and marketer, his successes included a wave of serious lawsuits, stemming back to the 1990s.Combs’ first major run-in with the law traces back to a charity basketball game that he promoted at City College of New York in 1991.

In May 2017, Cindy Rueda, Combs’ former chef, sued Combs for sexual harassment, emotional distress, and failure to pay overtime wages. In her lawsuit, Rueda claimed that she was frequently asked by Combs to serve him and his guests meals during or after engaging in sexual activity. Combs called the lawsuit “frivolous” and settled with Rueda in 2019.

In addition to Ventura’s lawsuit, at least six other lawsuits have been filed with serious allegations ranging from drugging to sexual assault and sex trafficking.
