Rapper P Diddy says Cassie assault is inexcusable

Sean 'P Diddy' Combs has issued an apology and said the CCTV footage of him attacking singer Cassie, from 2016, is "inexcusable".

The hip-hop star posted the apology on Instagram and said he makes "no excuses" for his behaviour in the clip and he has since sought professional help. 

"My behaviour on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I was disgusted. I was disgusted then when I did it. I'm disgusted now." He said.

"I went and I sought out professional help. I got into going to therapy, going to rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I'm so sorry. But I'm committed to be a better man each and every day. I'm not asking for forgiveness. I'm truly sorry."

The 54-year-old's homes in LA and Miami were raided in March by investigators after the star was named in several lawsuits.
