Posted in Diddy, Kanye West, New LP, Song, Video on the June 27, 2007
‘When you’re a label, you have to be with people through good times and bad times,’ mogul says of singer’s rough patch.
Diddy says he didn’t drop Cassie. While replying about all the rumors on the urban-music blogs that started sprouting last week saying that singer/model Cassie had been released from Bad Boy Records.
“Cassie’s definitely not dropped from Bad Boy,” Sean Combs said on the L.A. set of a video for his next Press Play single, “Through the Pain” (see “Diddy Shows Off New Stuff From Yung Joc — And Himself, Of Course — At NYC Event”).
“She’s in the studio [working on her next album]. So many people are excited to be working with her. … She was just in the studio with Kanye West. She’s going to be doing some stuff with Pharrell. People really understand that she does have some talent and it takes some time to mold it. Everybody’s not perfect. I think she had some rough shows, just being nervous. Sometimes people have to break out of that.”
In addition to recording her next LP on Diddy’s label, Cassie is also one of the new spokes models for the Sean John women’s collection, along with “ATL” actress Lauren London. “It’ll be out in the next four weeks,” Diddy said of the line.
“Through the Pain” was the first of two videos Combs shot this week. On Thursday (June 21) he goes in front of the camera for “Diddy Rock.”
