Former stylist for Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Deonte Nash, has reportedly opened up about his experiences with the rapper. Nash appeared on CBS Mornings after he filed a lawsuit against the rapper in September, alleging "verbal, physical, and s**ual abuse", per People. In a clip shared by CBS on their YouTube channel, Nash can be seen in an exclusive conversation with Jericka Duncan.

During the conversation, Jericka asks Nash if he said that he was "strangled on several occasions" by Combs. After he affirmed, the former went on to ask him if he ever thought he could "die." Nash responded,

"The whole time. I said, 'He's going to kill us.' He is going to kill us."

The whole interview is set to be released on CBS Mornings tomorrow morning, coinciding with the date of sentencing of Diddy Combs.

Sean Combs' former stylist is reportedly opening up about his experiences with the rapper for an exclusive TV interview with CBS Mornings. In a glimpse of the interview shared by the outlet, Nash reveals that he had a "to-go bag" in case things went haywire while working with the music mogul. He noted,

""Who are we going to tell? Like who exactly were we going to tell? Who are we going to call? Ghostbusters? There was no one there to save us."

The interview comes after Nash filed a lawsuit in September and is seeking "general and compensatory damages", per CBS News. For those unversed, Nash also appeared as one of the key witnesses during Combs' trial in May and had claimed that he had witnessed the musician beat Cassie until she bled, per the Washington Post. According to the news outlet, Nash had also revealed other details about Cassie and Diddy's relationship, including the latter reportedly controlling every aspect of the former's life.

More recently, Nash also wrote a letter addressed to Judge Subramaniam, dated September 28, per USA Today. He noted that if Combs continues to disrespect the "court", no "leniency" should be shown towards him. He wrote,

"Mr. Combs repeatedly shifts between denying responsibility, seeking sympathy and reshaping the narrative to suit his immediate needs."

He added,

"Real transformation is consistent, honest and uncomfortable; it does not depend on who is watching or what outcome is desired. Until he confronts his actions as wrong and takes full responsibility, any claim of change is hollow."

It is unclear how Deonte's lawsuit will influence Diddy's sentencing tomorrow. However, the rapper's defence has denied the claims, citing them as baseless.
