The 30-year-old former City Girls finally broke her silence about her relationship with Diddy. Speaking with her friend and fellow entertainer Saucy Santana, Young Miami whose real name is Caresha Brownlee had this to say about Diddy.
“People feel like I was Diddy’s biggest cheerleader and I made him my brand. And I feel like Diddy was on brand for me,” she said. “I met him when he was in another era. I met Diddy when the world was celebrating him and giving him his flowers when he was alive. He was getting the (2023 MTV VMAs) Global Icon Award, the (2022 BET Awards) lifetime achievement award, the key to the city.
“He had a new album that was coming out, so I was celebrating him with the world. And I just feel like everybody’s trying to crucify me for it,” Yung Miami continued. “I was just celebrating when the world was celebrating him, so why am I being crucified, or why am I being separated?”
Despite the allegations, Young Miami said the person portrayed in the media was not the person she knew. “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,” she said. “I don’t know that person, and that wasn’t my experience.
She doubled down on her experience with Diddy, expressing how he helped her career. “It really hurt me because I just feel like Puff was a really, really good person to me. I feel like he came and he helped me; he elevated me,” she said, about their relationship. “He saw a lot of things in me, and I feel like that’s one of his specialties, like, he knows how to find people and identify their talent. He was able to see more than music in me.”
