Cassie

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.

An onlooker said, “They had a huge long row backstage.

“Diddy wanted to get on stage to DJ and entertain the clubbers – but Jay-Z didn’t want Diddy to steal all the spotlight.

“Jay-Z was shouting at Diddy, saying, ‘No way man, no way.’ and Diddy was shouting back – it was a nightmare for the organizers. In the end, they agreed to both go on stage together and sing New York, New York.”
