Wale Denies 'Preposterous' Claim That Diddy Dangled Him Over A Balcony Because Of Cassie
Wale has, once again, denied the allegation that Diddy dangled him over a balcony after flirting with Cassie. In an interview with The Morning Hustle radio show, the rapper was seemingly annoyed to be asked about the rumor. 'Your name was brought up in something with the Diddy situation,' asked host Lore'l. To which the DMV rapper replied, 'Why are you asking me about this stuff?' Wale later clarified, 'I never got an altercation with them. I've never been in an altercation with nobody in the industry. I've had close calls, but not him. Definitely. It was made up by somebody who was just trolling and it just went.' The emcee described the rumor as 'preposterous.' It's unclear when the interview transpired because it's currently unavailable on The Morning Hustle's official social media accounts. The rumor was reportedly started by fellow D.C. rapper Ant Glizzy, who claimed Shy Glizzy witnessed the alleged incident. Back in November 2023, Wale's team told TMZ that the allegation was completely fabricated and said the story was similar to a scene from The Five Heartbeats. Wale also denied ever meeting Cassie. The rapper's rep stated, 'It's a shame that a complete fabrication has gotten this far and that we have to dignify it with a response. 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.' Diddy's federal trial began on Monday (May 12) and Cassie took the witness stand today. It's expected to last eight weeks.

On the track, Biggie hurled insults and named the sexual acts he wanted to engage in with several celebrities, including Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Jasmine Guy and Xscape.

She added: 'And you know, he was very nice, he was very apologetic and he basically said, 'I don't know what I was thinking. Look, I'm ugly as hell. Y'all is beautiful, and I just wanted to say I apologize for whatever.'' According to Harris, the most shocking part was that Biggie allegedly died 'probably 20, 30 minutes after that.'
