It's not clear if a non-disclosure agreement was part of the settlement, but if one exists, it would not prevent Cassie from testifying during Combs’ prospective trial if she is subpoenaed, former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani tells PEOPLE.

During his court hearing on September 18, Diddy’s text messages to Ventura and other women were read by prosecutors, who argued that he had a ‘long-standing pattern of abuse.’

Singer Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura, Sean 'Diddy' Combs' former girlfriend, was spotted out in New York City on Wednesday, Sept. 18, for the first time since his arrest earlier in the week.

Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura was spotted smiling and waving days after news of Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs' arrest hit the media.

Text messages allegedly sent from Sean “Diddy” Combs to his ex-girlfriend Cassie were read aloud in court during the rap mogul’s court appeal.
