Embattled American rapper and music executive Sean Combs, aka Diddy, has tendered a public apology following the emergence of video footage of him assaulting his former signee and estranged girlfriend, Cassie, in a hotel hallway in 2016.<\/p>\n
Recall that the video footage obtained by CNN captured Diddy repeatedly kicking and throwing objects at his then-girlfriend Cassie in a Los Angeles hotel hallway in 2016.<\/p>\n
The rapper has now taken \u201cfull responsibility\u201d for his actions in the video.<\/p>\n
Speaking in a video message shared via his social media page on Sunday, Diddy admitted that his behaviour in the video was \u201cinexcusable.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cMy behaviour on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I\u2019m so sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles County District Attorney\u2019s Office has said it won\u2019t prosecute Diddy over the assault video, despite public outcry.<\/p>\n
According to the attorney\u2019s office, the incident is \u201cbeyond the timeline where a crime of assault can be prosecuted.\u201d<\/p>\n
