Cassie: Controversy or Publicity Stunt?

After recently having a discussion about Bad Boy artists with a close friend, Cassie was one of few artists acknowledged as a loyal member of the infamous record label. While my friend argued that Cassie has achieved a noteworthy amount of success since being signed, I argued that any success or publicity that the former model has achieved is due to her relationship with Diddy.

Ironically, her new single (released online last week) entitled, "What She Don't Know", entails lyrics that imply an illicit affair. Cassie sings:

“So when they see us together, he says I’m just a friend,
But me and him know what up, so we know we must pretend.
So when she comes up to you,
saying that she knows about what we do,
I’ma tell her, What she don’t know wont hurt her.
So then she goes through your phone,
Give me a secret name so she wont know.”

With all the paparazzi shots of her & Diddy together, the rumors & Chris Brown's slip-up regarding their relationship (click HERE), these lyrics are definitely suspect. Listen to the song below:



Shameful. Cassie's album, Electro Love, is due in 2010.
