DJ Webstar just revealed that Cassie seemingly cut him off after discovering that he wrote a character letter supporting Diddy.
During an interview with Flex 98.5, Webstar said he had grown extremely close to Cassie and still viewed her as a sister. However, that relationship apparently shifted once she learned that he had put his name behind a letter for Diddy.
“I was close with Cassie. Cassie unfollowed me because…This is the first time I’m saying this, too…I wrote a character letter for Puff,” he told the hosts. “I was very close with Cassie…I still consider her my sister. It’s like, I love her. You know what I’m saying? What they went through, they went through.”
Webstar went on to explain that his letter was not meant to excuse Diddy’s violence toward Cassie. Instead, he said he wrote it because he did not believe Diddy was guilty of the racketeering charge and because he considers Diddy’s sons, Justin and Christian Combs, his younger brothers.
“I felt like what he was on trial for wasn’t beating Cassie up. He was on trial for Rico. He didn’t do no Rico stuff. You got to remember, Justin and Christian is my little brothers. You know what I’m saying? So it’s like if I see you slap the s**t out of somebody, but somebody charged you for murder, I’m going to write you a character letter that you didn’t murder nobody. Now, if he was on trial for beating up Cassie, I would never wrote a character letter.”
While DJ Webstar focused heavily on the RICO portion of the case, Diddy was not facing only one charge. According to the United States Department of Justice, federal prosecutors charged him with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Prosecutors accused Diddy of using his businesses, employees, money, and influence to facilitate criminal conduct and conceal his alleged behavior. Diddy pleaded not guilty and denied the federal allegations.
The jury ultimately gave Diddy a split verdict. He was acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and both sex trafficking charges in July 2025. However, he was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, including one count connected to Cassie and another involving a former girlfriend who testified under the name Jane.
The distinction matters legally, but it does not erase what became public about Diddy and Cassie’s relationship.
In November 2023, Cassie filed a federal lawsuit accusing Diddy of subjecting her to years of physical violence, sexual abuse, threats, and control. According to Cassie’s original complaint, she alleged that Diddy forced her to participate in sexual encounters with male sex workers while he watched, directed, and recorded them. She also accused him of beating her repeatedly and raping her after she attempted to leave the relationship.
The lawsuit was settled one day after it was filed. Cassie later testified during Diddy’s criminal trial that the settlement was worth $20 million.
The public also saw proof of at least one violent incident. In May 2024, surveillance footage surfaced showing Diddy attacking Cassie inside a Los Angeles hotel in 2016. The video showed him hitting, kicking, and dragging her through a hallway. Diddy later admitted his actions were inexcusable and apologized publicly.
Cassie then spent four days testifying at Diddy’s federal trial. She described years of beatings, emotional control, sexual coercion, and drug fueled encounters that she said she participated in out of fear and a desire to keep Diddy happy. Diddy’s attorneys argued that the sexual encounters were consensual and that his history of domestic violence did not prove racketeering or sex trafficking.
Diddy was sentenced on October 3, 2025. Judge Arun Subramanian sentenced him to four years and two months in federal prison, five years of supervised release, and a $500,000 fine. The judge also addressed Diddy’s history of violence and praised Cassie and the other women who testified for coming forward.
DJ Webstar may believe his character letter was strictly about the charges Diddy beat. Cassie may see the situation much more simply. When someone says they love you like family but publicly asks for grace for the person who hurt you, an unfollow might be the least surprising part of the fallout.
