Dawn Richards testifies Usher and Others were present when Diddy allegedly punched Cassie in stomach
In this jaw-dropping episode of The Blac Pill, we break down the wild courtroom moment where Dawn Richard — former Danity Kane and Diddy-Dirty Money member — took the stand and claimed she saw Diddy punch Cassie in the stomach. And what makes this even crazier? She says Usher, Ne-Yo, and Jimmy Iovine were right there at the dinner table when it happened. This testimony is part of a massive wave of allegations that are shaking up the entire industry right now.

According to Dawn, this all went down around 2010 at a dinner in West Hollywood. She says Cassie was visibly shaken, and even admitted to her later that Diddy had been physically abusive before — and that this wasn’t even the first time something like this had happened. Dawn also mentioned that Diddy once hit Cassie with a skillet, and threatened Dawn’s life if she ever spoke up about what she saw. That right there puts a whole new layer on this situation.

We take a deep dive into what this means, not just for Diddy, but for the people around him. Why did nobody speak up earlier? What role does power and money play in keeping silence in the music biz? And are we finally seeing the fall of one of hip hop’s most powerful moguls?

This episode is not just about gossip — it’s about calling out a culture of silence and protecting Black women. We touch on the timeline of Cassie and Diddy’s toxic relationship, the lawsuit she filed, and how other celebrities might have enabled or ignored the red flags. There’s been a major shift in energy online as more people start connecting the dots, and The Blac Pill is here to break it all down in a way only we can.

Whether you rock with Diddy or you believe he’s long overdue for accountability, this is a conversation you don’t wanna miss. We're covering everything — from the courtroom chaos to the social media fallout — and exposing the system that’s protected powerful men in the industry for way too long.

The Blac Pill is where we say the stuff they scared to say out loud. We tap in with real perspectives, raw convos, and no filter. If you tired of watered-down commentary and you want the real, this is where you need to be.
