In a suit filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, R&B singer Cassie, who was once signed to Combs’s Bad Boy Records label, accused him of using drugs and alcohol to control her during their relationship.
The pair first met in late 2005, when she was 19 years old and he was 37, the suit said.
