Despite falling out with Diddy, Howard was still paid for his encounters. Years later, when Cassie filed a 2023 lawsuit alleging abuse and coercion tied to male entertainers, Howard was not named but confirmed his knowledge of the circumstances. He proactively contacted Cassie’s legal team, offering support to corroborate her claims, acknowledging the abuse he witnessed firsthand. Howard also disclosed attempts by the U.S. Attorney’s Office to prevent him from pursuing his own related lawsuit, highlighting the legal pressures surrounding the high-profile case.

A law student, Howard drafted the complaint himself and secured legal representation after sending demand letters. He criticized previous civil suits against Diddy for lacking basis, asserting his own claims are grounded in direct experience from nearly a decade around Combs.
