Terms of the settlement were not disclosed.<\/p>\n

In a joint written statement with Combs, Ventura said that she \u2018decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control\u2019.<\/p>\n

Combs wrote: \u201cWe have decided to resolve this matter amicably. I wish Cassie and her family all the best.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ventura, who performs under the stage name Cassie, filed the lawsuit on Thursday in federal court. In it she accused Combs of forcing her to engage in sex acts with a succession of male prostitutes he hired while he watched and filmed the encounters for his own pleasure.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, also accused Combs of regularly beating Ventura over the course of a 10-year professional and romantic relationship in which he controlled her through intimidation and by plying her with drugs and alcohol.<\/p>\n

Ventura, 37, alleged that Combs raped her near the end of their relationship in 2018 when she broached the idea of leaving him.<\/p>\n

Combs strongly denied all the allegations.<\/p>\n

Ben Brafman, a lawyer for Combs, said Ventura filed a lawsuit \u2018riddled with baseless and outrageous lies\u2019 after a failed attempt to blackmail Combs into paying her $30 million by threatening to write a damaging book about their relationship.<\/p>\n

Diddy, 54, founder of Bad Boy Records, is one of the most influential producers and executives in hip-hop, as well as the impresario of his own Sean John clothing line.<\/p>\n

According to the lawsuit, Ventura met Combs in late 2005 when she was 19 and he was 37, signed a 10-album recording deal with Bad Boy Records within months and began a romantic relationship with him a few years later.<\/p>\n
