Yung Miami was a victim of domestic violence, but not from Diddy

Yung Miami opened up about her relationship with Diddy for the first time on the season 2 premiere of Caresha please and although she admits to being a victim of domestic violence, she insists she never experienced it while dating the mogul.

The rapper was interviewed by her friend Saucy Santana for the episode, who asked Miami why she didn’t speak out sooner amid multiple civil lawsuits accusing her ex-boyfriend of rape, assault and sex trafficking.

In response, Caresha explained that she didn’t have the same experiences with the disgraced music mogul.

“I can’t speak on something that’s not my experience, and I can’t speak on something that I don’t know,” the City Girls rapper said. “I can’t speak on these allegations because I wasn’t there at the time. I don’t know this person, and that wasn’t my experience.”

She also admitted to feeling isolated when “no one was calling to see how I was doing” amid all the allegations against her ex, saying she felt “crucified” for celebrating Diddy before his fall from grace.

“People feel like I was Diddy’s biggest fan and I made it my brand. And I feel like Diddy was my brand,” she began. “I met him when he was in a different era. I met Diddy when the world was celebrating him and giving him flowers while he was alive. He was getting the Global Icon Award, the Lifetime Achievement Award, the key to the city.”

Miami continued, “He had a new album coming out, so I celebrated with the world. And I feel like everyone’s trying to crucify me for that. I was just partying while the world was celebrating, so why am I being crucified, or why am I being separated?”

Caresha then said she had been a victim of domestic violence in two previous relationships, after which she told herself, “I would never put myself in that situation again.”

She said PEOPLE that she was “deeply hurt and shocked after watching the video” of Diddy physically assaulting his ex Cassie and insists, “That was not my experience at all.”

Miami then told the outlet about their relationship:

“I met him during his Love period. He was focused on building love and was really focused on his music and his business. I was with him when the world was celebrating him… I just think when I met Diddy, he was a man first. He was more interested in what I wanted to do and he approached me with a lot of business ideas. ‘You should do this. I see that in you.’ So that was more of that for me. He saw more in me than just music.”

Caresha also addressed her own actions in recent months, particularly toward another of Diddy’s exes, Gina Huynh, who also came forward with allegations of abuse toward Diddy. When Huynh spoke out about Yung Miami’s relationship with Diddy, the City Girl took to social media to insult her and even used a racial slur, which she now admits she regrets.

“I am aware of the things I tweeted about another woman and, in hindsight, I know I shouldn’t have put the energy into it,” she said. PEOPLE“Everyone only saw my reaction when I was tested multiple times. I try not to let people take me out of character, as hard as that may be.”

Caresha continued, “I never want to disrespect an entire group of people because one person is trying to get a reaction out of me. It’s not right, but I’m growing and constantly working to become a better version of Caresha.”
