I think Diddy’s got her back?
Diddy explains why Cassie’s performances didn’t measure up when her debut album came out. Me personally, I’m glad that he’s taking the blame, but at the same time, if someone isn’t talented, then they are just not. She would need more than artist development.
“Explaining Cassie’s poor performances during the promotion of her self-titled debut album, Diddy says: “I just don’t think she was ready. I think that we threw her into the spotlight without the artist development — that goes on with a lot of new artists. We pulled out, we took our time, we developed her for like, a year-and-a-half. People are just going to see her there and be like, ‘Wow, she’s really cocooned into a butterfly.’” (Source)
Sigh. I really want to root for her and I want to believe him, but where are the rest of the artists from Bad Boy? Right now, all that are left are Day 26 and Danity Kane (right?).
I quote Q-Tip….”Industry rule #4080, record company people are shady.” Just saying.

Cassie was just thrown out there. Out of NOWHERE I heard that song “me & u”, and it blew up quickly. I could hear in the song & her live performances that her voice is suspect. It was 112 who alerted me to the fact that Diddy is shady on the business side. They are probably the most successful act to come from the Bad Boy camp, and they fled for Def Jam. Most of their music is self-produced & self-written (mainly Daron), but they didn’t see the funds to reflect that. They mentioned that on the set of their video “Na, na, na, na.” Then I started seeing that most of his original artists left for the same reason. I think he straight up JERKS his artists.
