‘Where’s Yung Miami?’ Diddy’s ex keeping a low profile after his homes were raided

Since late 2023, Sean “Diddy” Combs has been named a defendant in several sexual abuse lawsuits.

His on-again-off-again girlfriend Yung Miami, however, has remained virtually silent. And while it’s unclear if she had any information about federal investigators’ Monday raid of Diddy’s Miami Beach home, many of her fans have taken a subsequent string of tweets as a response.

“This finna be a fun summer,” the 30-year-old rapper who’s one-half of the City Girls duo tweeted late Monday afternoon. In response to a tweet asking about her whereabouts, the City Girls rapper responded, “Right here what’s up?”

But Yung Miami had already begun to distance herself from the 54-year-old Bad Boy Records founder before the raid. In January, theJasmineBrand reported that a reality show starring Yung Miami cut all footage across several episodes that featured Combs, with whom she had been involved since spring 2022.

The move came months after Combs’ legal troubles began. In November 2023, Combs’ ex girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie, born Cassandra Ventura, sued him for sexual abuse, alleging that he had beat and raped her as well as coerced her into having sex with other men. Although Combs settled the lawsuit within 48 hours, the allegations didn’t stop.

Three woman and one man have since filed additional civil lawsuits against the music impresario, accusing Diddy of everything from drugging victims to sexual assault to gang-rape to human trafficking.

Diddy has denied all allegations, taking to Instagram to profess his innocence in December 2023.

“ENOUGH IS ENOUGH”, Diddy wrote in all caps. “FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, I HAVE SAT SILENTLY AND WATCHED PEOPLE TRY TO ASSASSINATE MY CHARACTER, DESTROY MY REPUTATION AND MY LEGACY. SICKENING ACCUSATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE AGAINST ME BY INDIVIDUALS LOOKING FOR A QUICK PAYDAY.”

The most recent lawsuit came from Combs’ former producer and videographer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones in February. Across the 73-page federal suit, Jones claimed to have “hundreds of hours of footage and audio recordings of Mr. Combs, his staff, and his guests engaging in serious illegal activity.”

Yung Miami is named more than a dozen times in Jones’ suit, which claims that she was “paid a monthly fee to work as Mr. Combs’ sex worker.” Jones also accused the rapper’s unnamed cousin of sexually assaulting him. Out of the two, the cousin was the only one listed as a defendant. The complaint was amended Tuesday to add that Yung Miami brought Combs tuci, a mix of cocaine and ecstacy, when the latter was in Virginia for the 2023 Something in the Water festival.

Combs and Yung Miami’s relationship has always been mysterious. Though the pair confirmed the dating rumors during a June 2022 episode of Yung Miami’s show “Caresha Please,” which aired on Revolt TV, a network Diddy co-founded in 2013, the relationship never appeared exclusive. So when Diddy announced the birth of his seventh child by another woman in Dec. 2022, Yung Miami appeared unbothered in a subsequent Instagram post.

“PLEASE!!! Life’s GREAT!” the caption read. “Only thing I’m mentally breaking down is should I do 15 or 20 percent off @careshaplease” merchandise.

By April 2023, however, Yung Miami told The Cut that the two were officially done.

“We’re still good friends,” the Miami rapper said. “But we’re single. That’s not my man. We had our own situation, I’m not gonna put a title on it.”

What’s also unclear is how long that split actually lasted. The two were together discussing their sex life on the first episode of Combs’ Love Radio podcast with Apple Music by September 2023.

Since then, the pair hasn’t been seen together and Yung Miami’s Instagram account has been purged to only include posts that reflect on her upcoming album.
