Ryan Leslie recently dropped some intriguing details about his ex, Cassie, and her plans for a music comeback.
Ryan Leslie confirms Cassie is making a musical comeback
This scoop comes amid the legal drama involving another one of her exes, Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs. Leslie, who once dated Cassie in the 2000s, revealed to TMZ that they’re teaming up again for her return to the music scene.
The news of Cassie’s comeback is especially juicy given the recent lawsuit drama surrounding her other ex, Diddy. He’s been in hot water with a slew of lawsuits, including one from Cassie herself, accusing him of rape and abuse.
This legal mess quickly settled but still murky, has put Diddy under a harsh spotlight.
Leslie, steering clear of the Diddy controversy, focused more on his and Cassie’s past connection and their upcoming collaboration. They reconnected back in 2017 and now, he says, Cassie is ready to hit the road again.
While he didn’t spill any specific dates, the idea of new music from Cassie is already creating a buzz.
Diddy downfall continues: He could be barred from the Grammys
Meanwhile, Diddy’s facing his own battles. After stepping back from his chairmanship at Revolt, the Grammy Awards are now re-evaluating his participation following the allegations.
Nominated for his album The Love Album: Off The Grid, he’s in a tricky spot with the Recording Academy scrutinising his role in the upcoming event.
“We are taking this matter very seriously, and we are in the process of evaluating it with the time and care that it deserves,” the Grammys said in a statement.
Cassie’s return and Diddy’s controversies are causing ripples across the music world.
Women’s rights groups like UltraViolet are pressuring the Recording Academy to take a stand against Diddy. Their director, Elisa Batista, emphasised the gravity of the allegations and the need for accountability in the industry.
“…and that the #MeToo movement is relevant and badly needed more than ever,” she said.
