Casandra “Cassie” Ventura’s longtime friend and songwriter Tiffany Red claimed she witnessed the “explosive” side of Sean “Diddy” Combs.
While appearing on ABC’s “Secret Life of Diddy — A Special Edition of 20/20” Wednesday, the Grammy-winning lyricist recalled a night in 2015 when she allegedly heard the Bad Boy Records founder scold his then-girlfriend over the phone.
“I remember her being like, ‘You wanna see something crazy?’ And I was like, ‘What?’ And she answered the phone,” Red, 37, said.
“As soon as he answered — ‘Bitch, where the f–k are you?’ He was so upset that she was out. I remember him screaming and saying, ‘Is someone in the car with you? I know someone is in the car with you,’” she claimed.

Red, who has also written songs for Jennifer Hudson, Zendaya and Tamar Braxton, said that was when she first noticed something was “wrong” in the now-exes’s relationship.
That same year, the songwriter allegedly saw Combs, now 54, scream at the “Me & U” singer, now 38, at her 29th birthday party.
“I walk out the room, and right behind the door, there’s his security around him. They have her in the corner, and he’s in her face, and he’s cussing her out,” she claimed.
“He was really mad. He was really close to her face, and she just had her head down. When I was standing over to the side, she just was kind of looking up at me.”

Red shared that she believed “everybody” around Combs “was afraid of him.”
When asked why she called the “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper “explosive,” the writer noted how powerful the hip-hop mogul was at that time.
“What you gonna do? He’s got the keys to the cities. He’s friends with the politicians. He’s friends with this person,” she said.
“Who’s gonna challenge that? And when? And be believed? Yeah, right.”
