【China Archives】

The China Archivesseason two premiere of Yung Miami's podcast Caresha Pleasewas shocking and tea was spilled as the former City Girls star uncharacteristically broke her silence regarding her past relationship with controversial music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs and other controversies.

Yung Miami, whose legal name is Caresha Brownlee, opened up about allthe controversy of this year with guest host, and long-time friend, rapperSaucy Santana. The 33-minute longepisode opened with a short monologue from Brownlee teasing the information that's about to come, saying “I wanted to tell my truth, my story, on my platform where I feel safe.” 

The podcast formally started with the City Girls rapper addressing her mental health — expressing feelings of isolation and a lack of support from people who she expected to have her back amidst all of the controversies with ex-boyfriend Combs.

"So mentally, one minute I’m happy, one minute I’m sad," she said. "One minute, I’m kinda like, ‘Fuck this shit.’ And then the next minute, I’m looking at my kids, like I didn’t bring us this far to go backwards."

As the podcast continued, Brownlee spoke about how she believed fans took issue with how she portrayed herself in her relationship with Combs, saying that her fans thought she made her City Girls brand more about Combs than the group.

"I never thought I was bigger than the program,” she said. Emphasizing that she was still heavily involved in the group and putting out music with her then-rap partner JT, real name Jatavia Johnson. 

Fans also took issue with her silence regarding the slew of allegations against Combs for various sex crimes and drug smuggling.Many fans assumed Brownlee must have known about the crimes but she denied it.

"I can’t speak on these allegations because I wasn’t around at that time," Brownlee stated. "I don’t know that person and that wasn’t my experience."

She went on to say that she did not experience domestic violence at the hand of the denounced rapper and that she does not stand for it, having survived two past relationships where she experienced that.

Finally, Brownlee said she believed that the relationship was mutually beneficial but it was not a relationship solely based on business. While she admitted she had things she wanted to learn from the mogul, they were in love. Brownlee says she stepped back from the relationship because she needed a moment to pour into herself and that she did not want to get caught up in the allegations.

Where do the City Girls stand today?

“Shit ain’t all good, but it ain't all bad,” said Brownlee when asked about her relationship with ex-group mate JT. 

According to Brownlee, fans only saw a portion of what transpired when the two clashed in an argument on X (formerly Twitter) when Brownlee accused JT of "sneak dissing."

Unsurprisingly, Brownlee hinted at some behind-the-scenes drama. The coastal divide wasn’t the only thing pulling them apart. Brownlee spills that JT was secretly juggling projects she had zero clue about, and the spark that once sizzled between them was starting to fizzle out. You could see it in their studio sessions and interviews— they grew apart.

"I don’t know what was the moment that separated us but I just felt like it because a time when we were getting together it just wasn’t connecting."

Despite the difference in their relationship Brownlee said they will always look at each other as family. 

What’s next for Yung Miami?

It’s safe to say that the podcast host is back with a mission to expand her brand. Fans should expect a full season of Caresha Please, a reality show, a new card game in the “Resha Roulette” series, and new music.
