August 2006

In August 2006, an unreleased version of the video for Cassie's song "Me & U" appeared on YouTube, a popular video sharing website. In stark contrast to the more polished video that was shown on mainstream media outlets like MTV and BET, the original version depicts Cassie singing to an unidentified male (represented by the camera) before taking him home, presumably to engage in sexual intercourse. Latter scenes of the video depict Cassie caressing his genital region and then unbuckling his pants. She also dances around in a bra and panties while her companion videotapes her on a handheld camcorder. On her NS4LIFE Journal, the singer denounced the earlier video saying that it was "low budget" and "scarred the beginnings for a very bright future." She also said that she made the second version "clean" to preserve her "name and image."

Cassie is currently being questioned about her vocal ability after performances on TRL and 106 and Park. There is currently a petiton going around on the internet begging Diddy to drop Cassie from Bad Boy Records immediately.
