Cassie Not Dropped From Badboy Says Diddy, Plus New Spokes model For Sean Jean
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has put an end to all the rumors circulating around the net that R&B singer Cassie was dropped from his label. "Cassie's definitely not dropped from Bad Boy," Diddy tells MTV on the L.A. set of a video for his next Press Play single, "Through the Pain. 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." Diddy has continually back Cassie. Last summer when she had a few not so stellar performances, he came to her rescue. "When you're a label, you have to be with people through good times and bad times," Diddy said. "But she's out of that now. She went over to Europe with me and killed the MTV Europe Music Awards. She has her swagger on." MTV also reports that Diddy also crowned Cassie the new spokes model for his 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.
