Back in August of 2025, Clayton Howard, a former male escort for Diddy and Cassie, detailed his experiences. He recounted his initial contact through an agency, Cassie's use of aliases, and the involvement of Diddy, who disguised himself as "Frank Black." Howard described multiple encounters, including domestic violence incidents, and Cassie's overdose. He claimed Cassie assaulted him and gave him an STD. He also shared insights into Diddy's financial losses and Cassie's role in facilitating male escorts. Howard expressed frustration with Cassie's manipulative behavior and her subsequent $20 million lawsuit against Diddy, which he believes was driven by personal gain rather than genuine victimhood. He also mentioned his own lawsuit against both Diddy and Cassie, seeking damages for his experiences.
