SEAN “Diddy” Combs has broken his silence and apologized days after a shocking video was released showing him physically assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie in 2016.
Combs apologized for his actions that were featured in the video in a post shared to Instagram on Sunday.
The rap star said he took full responsibility for his actions in the clip.
The footage, aired by CNN earlier this week, appeared to show Mr Combs kicking and pushing Ms Ventura in a hotel hallway.
“I was disgusted when I did it. I’m disgusted now,” he said in his statement.
“I went and I sought out professional help. I got into going to therapy, going to rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry.”
The rapper apologized for the actions featured in the gut-wrenching video saying, “I’m so sorry.”
“I’m committed to being a better man each and every day.”
He ended the one-minute apology by saying he was not asking for forgiveness.
“I’m truly sorry,” Combs said.
The apology comes just days after disturbing surveillance footage was released, showing Combs assaulting Cassie, born born Casandra Ventura.
In the shocking clips, Combs is seen holding a towel around his waist as he chased after Cassie in the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles.
She was seen waiting for an elevator with multiple bags.
