Yung Miami was one of a few notable figures who stood by Diddy after he was convicted on prostitution charges following a broader federal trial for sex-trafficking and racketeering charges in 2025.
In a polarizing move, the former City Girls member wrote a letter of support for the disgraced Bad Boy Records founder — whom she dated from 2021 to 2023 — asking a judge to exercise lenience when sentencing Diddy after the conclusion of his trial in July. And nearly a year later, Miami has explained why she did it, telling Charlamagne Tha God on The Breakfast Club that she thinks her ex was a “changed man” by the time she met him.
“I think that the man that I met and that I experienced was changed,” she continued in the interview posted Tuesday (March 24). “I’m not gonna justify some bulls–t or like, support some bulls–t. I felt like the person that I met was changed. It was a different experience, so that’s why I wrote the letter.”
“I can’t speak to nothing that I don’t know of,” Miami added. “I can only speak to the person that I met. And if I met this person that changed my life, that helped me grow, that treated me like a queen, that made me believe [in] myself … I can’t speak on nothing that I never was a part of, that I never knew. I can only judge who I met. I can only judge who I was in a relationship with.”
Diddy was sentenced to four years in prison in October following a seven-week trial over the summer. The hip-hop titan was found guilty of transporting sex workers across state lines for his so-called “freak-off” parties, but a jury did not convict him on other charges — all of which he adamantly denied throughout — of sex-trafficking or using his influence to oversee a criminal enterprise.
Before his sentencing, Yung Miami submitted a letter to the judge emphasizing her belief that Diddy was “not a danger or a threat to the community.” She also wrote that while she couldn’t “condone any wrongdoing” he may have been responsible for before they dated, she only ever found the producer to be “loving, genuine, supportive and always encouraging.”
On The Breakfast Club, the Florida native reflected on losing brand deals and supporters due to her loyalty to Diddy, as well as how her relationship changed with him after allegations of abuse began coming to light. “You gotta look back and say, like, ‘What makes sense for me right now?’” she explained. “I can love this person, but I can love this person from a distance, or no, I can have a relationship with this person, but maybe I gotta come back to it. Like, maybe I gotta come back around, and I think that this was one of those situations.”
