Naomi Campbell has been a long-time pal of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
The British supermodel even threw a lavish birthday event for him back in November 2023, but just a week later Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura launched accusations of “savage beatings” and coercion into sexual acts, which led Naomi to scrub any snaps from Combs’ party.
Diddy vehemently denied these accusations, reports the Mirror US. The case was wrapped up in a single day, with lawyers stating that the claims had been settled ‘amicably’ to the ‘mutual satisfaction’ of all parties involved. No further details about the settlement terms have been disclosed.

Back in 2001, gossip about Diddy and Naomi began swirling after they struck a pose for Vogue. Whether sparks actually flew between them kept tongues wagging, with chatter suggesting their ‘romance’ was just a stunt to buff up Diddy’s rep post-JLo. A source told Star magazine: “After Jen’s embarrassing kiss-off, Puffy got it in his head that people thought less of him as a man. He was ready to do just about anything to change his image as a loser in love.”
At that same time, Naomi was linked to Flavio Briatore, which made her initially unimpressed with the ruse. However, she eventually warmed to the idea when Diddy pitched the elaborate scheme to her. The insider added: “Sean told Naomi that he desperately needed ‘prestige’ on his arm to recover his ‘ladies’ man’ reputation. [She] promised to help by appearing in public with him. But she warned, ‘That’s the only kind of boost you’ll be getting from me’.”

Naomi’s spokesperson, who confirms the supermodel typically keeps her romantic life hush-hush, has previously made it clear that she and the music honcho are just mates. Over the years, Naomi and Diddy have kept their bond tight, even appearing side by side at events.
Naomi has also previously set the record straight about her platonic ties with Diddy while chatting with AOL: “We’ve known each other for 20-something years, and he’s been consistently the same. We really do have a brother-sister relationship, and I adore him.”

Meanwhile, Diddy is currently behind bars in New York without bail after being charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. Sean has denied all allegations made against him.
Diddy was recently taken off suicide watch and is reportedly “focussed and very strong” as he prepares for his upcoming trial.
