Singer and songwriter Cassie has subtly addressed Kanye West’s recent social media posts defending music mogul Diddy in light of ongoing abuse allegations, implying that the rapper should refrain from getting involved.
Cassie reshared an Instagram message from rapper Playboi Carti, who had previously reacted to Kanye’s controversial comments by telling him to “STFU” (shut the f*** up). While Cassie did not add her own commentary, her decision to amplify Carti’s words indicates her alignment with his perspective.
Kanye’s vocal defense of Diddy, who is facing serious allegations of abuse, has garnered significant attention. In a recent post, he controversially stated that both he and Playboi Carti “beat women” but are not as widely criticized as Diddy, prompting Carti’s direct admonition for Kanye to remain silent.
Cassie’s connection to the controversy stems from a 2016 incident in which Diddy was filmed appearing to hit her in a hotel hallway in Los Angeles, a video that CNN later reported on in 2024. This footage reignited discussions about Diddy’s history of abuse and renewed public scrutiny.
Recently, Kanye has shown considerable support for Diddy, even sharing clips of phone calls between them while Diddy is detained at the MDC Brooklyn federal detention center. However, these actions may have personal repercussions for Kanye, especially regarding his ongoing legal issues with ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
Sources indicate that Kim is contemplating seeking a judge’s intervention to revoke Kanye’s joint legal custody of their daughter, North, after he included her voice in his latest song, “Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine,” which violates a prior agreement not to feature North’s voice.
Amidst the unfolding public drama, Cassie’s response appears to signal a desire to stay clear of the controversy while conveying a clear message to Kanye: some matters are best left unspoken.
