Just one day after model and entertainer Cassie filed a lawsuit on Nov. 16 accusing ex-boyfriend Sean "Diddy" Combs of rape and abuse, the pair reached a settlement.

The “Me & U” singer, whose full name is Casandra Ventura, announced news of the settlement on Nov. 17, but did not disclose its terms.

“I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control,” Ventura, 37, said in a statement. “I want to thank my family, fans and lawyers for their unwavering support.”

In her lawsuit, Ventura accused the music mogul, 54, of raping and physically abusing her during the time the pair were on-and-off romantic partners from 2007 until 2018. Combs denied the claims in the lawsuit and following the settlement released a statement that read in part, “I wish Cassie and her family all the best. Love.”

Following Combs and Ventura's split, Ventura found love again with personal trainer Alex Fine. The couple tied the knot in 2019 and have welcomed two daughters, Frankie, 3, and Sunny, 2.

Ventura and Fine, 30, celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary in August, with the singer telling her husband in a sweet Instagram post, "There’s no one like you in this world."
