Cassie Is For Comeback In Complex Magazine

Bad Boy recording artist Cassie graces two ultra sexy covers for Complex Magazine’s August/September issue, which hits newsstands August 12.

The Me & U hitmaker sat down with Complex to talk about her upcoming album, rumored relationship with Diddy and growing up ethnically challenged. Here are some excerpts from their conversation:

Your second album was supposed to have come out a while ago. Why hasn’t it?
Based on my past and how my last album came out, I really need to come back much, much stronger. I wanted to have more personality. Before, I had tracks delivered to me; you pick and you choose, and there’s no personality behind it, nobody knows who you are. I really want to tell a story when I’m doing a song. Vocally, either you like my voice or you don’t. I’m not trying to blow like Mariah, back when she was doing that.

What’s the harshest thing that’s been said about you?
“She’s fucking for checks.” I don’t fuck for checks—I’d rather live on the street.

But is your single “Official Girl” a marketing ploy to cash in on the rumor that you and Diddy are dating?
Nope. It wasn’t planned. It was just a song I really loved that I heard. Nobody will ever know who “Official Girl” is about. They think it’s about certain people but it’s not. Anything that happens in my personal life is personal. I never actually put anything out there. Nobody’s really known who I’ve dated.

Have you seen any of the debates about your ethnicity online? It’s just like Dave Chappelle’s “Racial Draft” sketch.
What’s funny about it is, when I was growing up, I wasn’t confused. I knew exactly what I was. My dad’s Filipino, my mom is Mexican, West Indian, and black—I’m a little melting pot. In school, you were either black or white. Being Asian really wasn’t anything until I got to high school and was modeling all the time, and it was important because it intrigued people. Black people definitely didn’t claim me before. They were like, “Light skin over there, she’s just not for us.” [Laughs.] It’s all perception. The other day, I was at the drugstore and this girl in line was like, “She’s next, the white girl.” I’m not white. I’m not even close.

Diddy Spends Mother’s Day With Cassie

May 14th, 2008 | Posted in Celebrity Gossip, Celebrity Sightings

Diddy and Cassie
Rap superstar Sean “Diddy” Combs has further fueled rumors he is dating R&B singer Cassie, after the Bad Boy boss was photographed snuggling up to his recording artist in New York City on Mother’s Day.

The 38-year-old CEO has constantly denied being romantically involved with the 21-year-old, but on Sunday the two lovebirds were snapped by Gstylemag.com looking very cozy in Central Park as they watched a performance by street dancers.

Last month, Diddy was spotted hand-in-hand with his longtime baby mother Kim Porter at Victoria Beckham’s birthday party. They apparently tried to rekindle their romance, but the hip-hop mogul remains aloof, and is dating the Me & U hitmaker.

Cassie Does What She Does Best In GQ Magazine

Cassie
Sexy R&B singer Cassie appears in the March 2008 issue of GQ Magazine.

The Bad Boy recording artist is currently promoting her new film, “Step up 2: The Streets”, and is also featured on the soundtrack.

By definition, Cassie is a triple threat who can act, model and sing. But I’m not sure that she’s worthy of that title.

To be honest, she should probably just stick to modeling and being Diddy’s jump-off. …on the edge of your seat? Keep reading!

Move over Kim! Sean “Diddy” Combs has found his soul mate!

The 38-year-old music mogul has reportedly quit his cheating ways for an exclusive relationship with 21-year-old singer Cassie.
