Kalenna Harper from Diddy-led musical trio Dirty Money is not only supporting her former boss but also throwing shade at his ex, Cassie Ventura.

During a recent interview with Break Beat Media, Harper said that while she loved Cassie, she claimed she was a party girl with a serious addiction.

“Love her to death. Naive. Like getting high. She likes partying,” Harper said about the singer. “I saw Cassie grow up from a little girl. That was willing to, like, give everybody motherf***ing, you know, lap dances, basically. You know, get drunk and just have a good, like, model time.”

Cassie sued the Bad Boy founder in November 2023, citing years of physical and sexual violence. Though Combs settled the lawsuit within 24 hours, it was Cassie’s bravery in speaking up that inspired countless lawsuits with similar accusations against Diddy to be filed. Another lawsuit came from Dawn Richard, the third member of Dirty Money, who Harper says she doesn’t believe.

“I don’t f**k with Dawn like that. And I’m going to f***ing stand no business,” she said. “I didn’t see that. What I saw was what the f**k is going on with you because you act all weird. You’re a weird b***h.”

When Richard first sued Combs back in September, Harper released a statement claiming she did not witness any abuse that Richard described during their time together. Of the several allegations she made, Dawn claimed she was locked inside a car, berated, and even subjected to unwanted sexual advances from Diddy.

This interview comes about a month after Harper took to her Instagram Stories to respond to one of the claims in Richard’s lawsuit.

In her complaint, she said that she and Harper allegedly saw the disgraced music mogul abuse Cassie at his Los Angeles home–which Kalenna denied.

“I, acknowledge the recent lawsuit filed by Dawn Richard in which my name has been mentioned 33 times,” she began in her lengthy statement. “While I fully respect Dawn’s right to recount her experiences, l want to emphasize that her account reflects her personal perspective and should not be interpreted as a universal truth applicable to everyone involved.”

Harper continued, “It’s important to understand that while I was present in some of the same professional settings mentioned, many of the allegations and incidents described in this suit are not representative of my experiences, and some do not align with my own truth.”

Referencing her husband, the singer-songwriter added, “Tony [Vick] and I have always conducted ourselves with the highest level of professionalism and integrity. We were not involved in, nor were we aware of, any behavior that could be considered abusive or unlawful.”

“As this matter is now part of an ongoing legal process, I will refrain from discussing any specific details further,” she wrote. “My focus continues to be on my same dedication and positivity that have always guided me. I trust that the legal system will handle this case with the fairness and thoroughness it requires, and I support any process that seeks to uncover the truth.”
