Diddy’s ex Yung Miami breaks her silence about his scandal: ‘I’m going through it’
Yung Miami is talking, sort of.
The local rapper born Caresha Brownlee answered some hard questions Thursday night for the season 2 premiere of her “Caresha Please” podcast.
The conversation with fellow rapper Saucy Santana began on the topic of mental health. When her pal asked how she was doing overall, Brownlee almost immediately broke down crying.
“I’m just all over the place,” confessed one half of the City Girls duo, amid tears. “I’m going through it.”
Santana pressed on, inquiring about her embattled ex, Sean “Diddy” Combs, whom YM began quietly seeing sometime in 2021. The pair were on and off for two years, splitting before the walls literally came down.
Last March, Diddy’s homes in both L.A. and Star Island were raided as part of an ongoing federal sex trafficking investigation in the wake of a bombshell lawsuit filed by producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones.
“I met him in another era,” said the “Period” singer, adding that Combs was riding high when they were together. Not only was the Harlem native coming out with a new album, he was also presented with both a Global Icon award and key to the city (NYC mayor Eric Adams has since rescinded the honor). “When I was dating him it was love, love, love. When I got with him, he was just a man.”

Brownlee, incidentally, was named more than a dozen times in the suit, with Jones claiming she was a “sex worker” who provided her famous lover with drugs. She has denied all allegations.
Despite going out of her way to not say anything negative against the 54-year-old father of seven, Brownlee admitted she was “hurt and shocked” to see the unearthed 2016 video of him beating up his ex Cassie Ventura in a hotel hallway.
The 30-year-old single mother of two said that is something she never would have tolerated.
“I’ve been in a toxic relationship before when I was younger, in high school, my early 20s, and they’re not healthy,” Brownlee said. “I’ve been there, done that, and that’s somewhere I would never want to put myself.”
Asked why she hadn’t come forward before to discuss Diddy publicly, Brownlee had an explanation for why she laid low:
“I can’t speak on something that wasn’t my experience. And I can’t speak on something that I don’t know. I can’t speak on these allegations because I wasn’t around at the time. I don’t know that person and that wasn’t my experience.”
When Santana asked if the relationship was more of a business transaction, Brownlee refused to confirm nor deny.
“I feel like it was beneficial,” she said. “It took my career to another level.”
