Sean “Diddy” Combs has apologised and “committed to be a better man” after security footage appeared to show him assaulting R&B singer Cassie in a Los Angeles hotel corridor in 2016. The video, obtained by US outlet CNN, appears to depict Combs wearing only a white towel chasing his former partner, real name Casandra Ventura, and kicking her on the ground.

His apology continued: “It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that. “I was f***** up — I hit rock bottom — but I make no excuses.

I’m disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help. I got into going to therapy, going to rehab.
“I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry. But I’m committed to be a better man each and every day.
I’m not asking for forgiveness. I’m truly sorry.” The video has been dated March 5 2016 and seems to match a description of an incident at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles in a now-settled lawsuit originally filed by Ms Ventura in November.
