The world came to know Sean Combs as Puff Daddy in the 90s.

And then, before long he was P Diddy, which then got shortened to just Diddy.

And then, for a moment, he tried to get everyone to call him love.

But it's doubtful anyone's going to call him that now that the singer Cassie has sued

Sean Combs for rape and abuse.

Ventura alleges that Combs not only raped her,

but over the course of a decade, physically abused her,

as well as, quote, lured her into a drug-fueled lifestyle.

But almost immediately after we heard about those charges they sort of disappeared.

Moments ago, word coming out that Combs and R&B singer Cassandra Ventura have settled the lawsuit.

Both sides releasing statements moments ago

saying they agreed to resolve the matter amicably.

And it's not just the charges.

The very law that allowed Cassie to sue Diddy expires this week.

All that's coming up on Today Explained.

Cracken, see what crypto can be. Don't invest unless you're prepared to lose all the money you invest.
