Cassie Confirms International Relocation, No Plans to Return to U.S.

Cassie Ventura has disclosed that she has relocated outside the United States and does not intend to return to American soil.

In a court declaration dated May 1, reviewed by both TMZ and Complex, the 39-year-old artist stated she currently "resides outside of the United States" and emphasized she has "no intention to move back to the United States."

While Ventura maintains her U.S. citizenship, she is no longer a California resident. She indicated that participating in legal proceedings would be more practical from her current location, given that her legal representation operates out of New York.

The declaration was filed as part of an ongoing case brought by Clayton Howard, a male escort who has leveled accusations against both Ventura and Sean "Diddy" Combs. The specific country or region where Ventura now resides has not been made public by her or her team.

The announcement arrives as Ventura navigates multiple legal situations connected to Combs. During proceedings in his federal criminal case, Ventura disclosed that she accepted a $20 million settlement from Combs and his business entities following a civil claim she initiated.

According to reporting, Ventura additionally secured a settlement from the InterContinental Los Angeles Century City hotel stemming from legal action tied to hotel surveillance video documenting an alleged physical altercation between Combs and Ventura in a corridor. The combined value of both settlements reached approximately $30 million.
