In a shocking revelation, Clayton Howard, a former escort who worked with Sean “Diddy” Combs, has alleged that he fathered a child with singer Cassie Ventura during a sex session arranged by the hip-hop mogul. The claims, which surfaced in Howard’s new book titled Cassie: Victim or Co-conspirator: The Story Of Dave, detail a complicated and troubling narrative involving unprotected sex and subsequent heartbreak.
According to Howard, the alleged incident occurred during his nearly decade-long tenure with Diddy, which spanned from the 2010s into the early 2020s. He recounted an encounter in which Cassie insisted on having unprotected sex, despite his reservations. “She told me she was on birth control now, so we didn’t have anything to worry about,” Howard stated.
In an interview with RadarOnline.com, Howard shared that he learned of the pregnancy while incarcerated. Cassie reportedly informed him of her decision to terminate the pregnancy, expressing her regret during the conversation. “She told me that she had been pregnant and was sure it was my child. She started to cry and said she was sorry. She claimed that she hadn’t wanted to do it. I had no choice but to forgive her,” he recounted.
Despite the emotional weight of the situation, Howard expressed no blame toward Cassie for the abortion, instead attributing the outcome to the circumstances that led to their encounter. “I know it must have been a difficult decision for her. I blame the situation for what happened. The situation led us to create a life due to our carelessness, and that carelessness resulted in the death of an innocent child,” he said.
These claims come just weeks after both Howard and Cassie testified in Diddy’s federal racketeering trial, where Cassie described years of alleged abuse and coercion. During the trial, Cassie’s visibly pregnant state drew attention, and her advanced pregnancy became a focal point as prosecutors accused the defense of attempting to prolong the proceedings.
Cassie gave birth to her third child on May 28, 2025, shortly after concluding her testimony in the courtroom, while her husband, Alex Fine, provided support throughout the trial.
As the situation continues to unfold, the implications of Howard’s claims add another layer to the ongoing narrative surrounding Diddy and Cassie’s tumultuous past.
