Yung Miami has no regrets after she defended Sean "Diddy" Combs throughout the course of his sexual assault scandal despite the drastic impact it had on her career.
On Tuesday, March 24, the Miami native sat down with Charlamagne Tha God for the latest episode of his new series Out Of Context. During their discussion, Charlamagne asked Yung Miami, born Caresha Brownlee, how she was able to write a letter supporting Combs at the end of his criminal trial despite all the damning evidence of his alleged violent behavior toward his former lovers.
"I think I wrote a letter for a changed man," Caresha said.
"I think that the man that I met, that I experienced was changed," she continued. "I'm not gon' to justify or support some bulls**t if I felt like that person wasn't changed. And I felt like the person I was changed. It was a different experience so that's why I wrote the letter."
Yung Miami was one of several people who wrote character letters in support of Diddy before a judge sentenced him to 50 months in prison. The 32-year-old artist told Judge Arun Subramanian that she doesn't condone any wrongdoing and can't speak to what Combs was accused of before their relationship began in 2022. Instead, she chose to focus on the person she's known for the past four years.
"In my personal opinion, Sean is not a danger or a threat to the community," she wrote at the time. "He is a man of God, someone who uplifts, supports, and inspires those around him to be better mentally, physically, and spiritually... I truly believe that he belongs at home, with his family, the people who mean the most to him and who continue to be his greatest source of purpose and strength. Judge... that's a good man."
In addition to the backlash she received from critics, Yung Miami also said her brand took a hit as she continued to support Diddy. She admitted she lost deals, money, and relationships. Watch the entire interview below.
