Diddy’s former dancer, Tanika Ray, claims she has a story to tell regarding the mogul. On Wednesday (March 27), Ray took to Instagram to share a bit about her claims. The D.C. native began by reposting a clip of journalist Touré appearing on MSNBC. In the footage, Touré talks about his relative who was terminated from an internship with Sean Combs. His relative claimed he was fired after turning down “spending the night with [Diddy].” 

After the clip, Tanika vaguely spoke about a “horrific” story she had about the embattled businessman. She asserted that she wouldn’t share the story and claimed that “only five people” knew about the details. Ray expressed that she may reveal all the details in a memoir one day.

“We all have stories. Mine is horrific. I will probably never tell it. Maybe I’ll write a book one day. It’s just so traumatizing that women just want to live every day and feel safe,” she said in the clip.

The entertainment reporter added more context in the post’s caption. In her lengthy note about her interactions with Sean Combs, she recalled specific moments when she “knew to avoid him at all costs.” 

“Oh yeah women hold a lot in order to function everyday in a man’s world,” she typed. “Unfortunately, we can compartmentalize our pain and carry on. We utilize the experience as a lesson and move differently. If I told my story in 1996 then What?? I just knew to avoid him at all costs. Yes, I danced for him and kept my space. I was on the ‘Vote or Die’ airplane and kept my space. I interviewed him for his projects and kept my space. Nothing that is happening is surprising.”

“Ladies, [keeping] space to heal and move on is key. Gathering to incriminate is goals. But in this wild world with a broke a** system… our healing is priority. Shame on all those men that let this continue. Shame on me maybe for prioritizing my mental health some would say. But after working in a place that snatches souls… mine is intact and of the light. I saved myself. Now if someone needs me to pile on my story, give me a call. But I think Cassie got it!”

Diddy has continued to deny any and all claims against him. But it seems the feds just want to make sure. On Monday (March 25), Homeland Security raided the mogul’s Miami and Los Angeles homes. Comb’s kids, Christian and Justin Combs, were seen being handcuffed by federal agents. The raid was conducted in connection to sex trafficking allegations against the music icon.

Hal Kempfer, Homeland Security expert, stated that the reviewed evidence included “laptops, flash drives, and anything that would connect Combs with the allegations.”

The Bad Boy founder and his attorney issued a statement shortly after his homes were raided. Aaron Dyer, his attorney, insisted that his client was innocent and that they were looking forward to “[clearing his] name.”

“Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences,” Dyer released in a statement. “There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated.”

“There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations,” Dyer added. “Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name… [This] unprecedented ambush led to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits.”
