Wale Denies Ant Glizzy’s Diddy And Cassie Story

From TMZ, where you can read the full story (the source of the issue is above, courtesy of Ant Glizzy):

Wale finds himself inserted in a rumor about Diddy dangling him over a balcony for working with Cassie against Diddy’s wishes — but Wale says it’s a fairy tale derived from Robert Townsend’s film, “The Five Heartbeats!!!

Wale’s management tells TMZ Hip Hop the story, first started by DMV rapper-turned-YouTuber Ant Glizzy, is pure fakery and goes on to say, “It’s a shame that a complete fabrication has gotten this far and that we have to dignify it with a response.”

They continue … “It is a fantasy written by an outsider to exploit a viral story for clicks … the author must have watched “The Five Heartbeats” on basic cable and got inspired. They have never been in the same room as the people mentioned. Wale has never met Cassie or the author and was never involved in any type of altercation. He wishes peace for everyone involved in the settlement.”

UPDATE:

PICS: Cassie In Vibe Vixen

You can check out her full feature here. Below, an excerpt:

Bad Boy’s leading lady, Cassie, has been plastered on mall storefronts and tucked beneath Diddy’s arm for years. But her own musical masterpiece has always remained in her crosshairs. With a determination as fierce as ever, her future never looked this good.

Drake May Or May Not Have Signed Cassie To OVO Sound

Drake-French-Montana-and-Cassie

This was said to have been spotted on a Mediabase newsletter…..we have spotted it on various media outlets:

R&B singer and occasional model Cassie, who had one of the biggest 2006 rhythm-crossover hits with the minimal electro Ryan Leslie produced “Me & U” and has since then been signed under Sean Diddy Combs exclusive Bad Boy/Interscope distribution partnership, has now inked another deal with Drake and Noah “40″ Shebib’s OVO Sound, their first big signing. Riding high on the release of her new mixtape RockaByeBaby, well-received by fans and critics, Cassie is now preparing for a new single later this year, followed by her sophomore LP next Spring.

I feel that, if this is true, Drake is going to make her into the viable artist that Diddy — too busy having sex with her, perhaps — couldn’t quite pan out in the world of Pop/R&B. I will say: that last mixtape is jammin’, though.
