Ryan Leslie on Cassie Leaving Him for Diddy After She Signed to Bad Boy (Flashback)

In light of Cassie's lawsuit against Diddy, we take a look back at Ryan Leslie speaking to DJ Vlad in 2009 about his relationship with Cassie. During the sit-down, Ryan stated, "I love Cassie. I fell in love with her, I fell in love with the music, I fell in love with her family." When asked about their falling out, Ryan explained that there were "specific characters" that played into why he and Cassie didn't talk. Vlad then asked Ryan about Cassie being signed to him and Cassie having a deal with Diddy's Bad Boy, and Ryan explained that he didn't want to get involved.

[@Mistimo123]

Ryan leslie was supposed to be what Drake is today… and he could do it all, rap, sing RnB and produce some of the the biggest hits on radio for a while. He definitely got blackballed from the industry.

[@user-ze2mw6nh4y]

Because of this relationship! He’s way more talented then a Drake. Ryan can actually sing and produce. Drake doesn’t

[@spiritualone2173]

Diddy put an end to his greater success and even blew up the man's car over Cassie. Diddy had Kim and others, no need for him to be threatening and running off other men who would treat them better.

[@MrILES-gu3xb]

Plus he’s a Harvard Graduate 🥂

[@jailuxe]

@@spiritualone2173it was kid Cudi car he had blew up not Ryan but I definitely believe he had Ryan blackballed

[@jorenemajor3892]

Truee

[@nameisamine]

Ironically, Ryan got more out of Cassie musically than than Diddy ever did after he signed her. He still wrote and produced her biggest records.

[@IslandVibez_Virgo]

That’s because Diddy was never interested in giving her a music career, just having her as his concubine

[@SKILLIUSCAESAR]

@@IslandVibez_Virgochurch. 10 album concubine deal

[@beepbopboop7727]

Diddy only wanted her to be his personal s*x worker.

[@stuartchilongozi2439]

What do you even mean? Her debut album was on badboy and Ryan co produced the album. She signed to both next selection and badboy

[@nameisamine]

@@stuartchilongozi2439 i mean, it’s evident now that Diddy accomplished very little with her music career compared to Ryan. Bad Boy barely tried to secure Cassie another hit record and pretty much ran down the clock until she lost all momentum. Her debut album was written and produced by Ryan almost singlehandedly. Last time I remember There are no features on the album apart from Ryan (even though, shadily, he gets no feature credit despite him having entire verses on multiple songs on that album). What hit record did Diddy secure Cassie once Ryan was out of the picture? A second album was teased forever but never released, and all her singles after that first album cycle, flopped. It’s clear now he was never serious about artist development with her like he said he was.

Ryan Leslie is not a victim. He was using Cassie as well. Neither one of the dudes she was associated with were interested in her success.

[@liamellis9018]

And you know that how?? Give us a drop of him mistreating or using her musically or relationally, please.

[@OFFTHECUFFRADIO]

Y'all can't accept that she isn't sweet and innocent as y'all want to believe 😂

[@Wgz945]

That’s a grown fkn woman who made a bunch of terrible decisions, she’s accountable for her actions nobody else, this is why ppl say women are allergic to accountability

[@prodigalsun1069]

I loved that Ryan Leslie sound.. where is he? I thought he was so underrated, especially when he was singing. I hope he's doing music still or producing other artists.

[@ricardohare]

This man cannot answer yes or no

[@BabyBee31338]

He really cared about her and she chose the WOLF. He is a Ivy league grad and all around family man it seems. Pitiful! A TRUE example of choosing money over peace. And whats the crazy killing part about it all, he was with Kim Porter when she came in the picture! When chasing the bag goes wrong...

Vlad gonna have a flashback about the Lincoln assassination soon

[@mac609]

Ryan Leslie danced around those questions. I'm convinced Diddy threatened Ryan to get Cassie.

[@jrallday]

I Love Ryan Leslie Music and Music Production. He's one of the people who inspired me.

[@luisito1273]

I’m sure he feels so hurt all this happened to her on his watch. I know, how could he have known, I’m sure he was super busy in the studio himself working his life away. But, I’m sure he feels so hurt this happened to such an innocent and awesome girl. 😔

[@amandaquest105]

She chose to be with Diddy because all she cared about was her career...so she was disloyal to Ryan Leslie in a sense. He was not responsible for what happened to her with Diddy. That became her responsibility when she chose Diddy over him in the name of career, fame and (likely) money.

[@tariqhinson3054]

Nah she betrayed him for Diddy

[@pcgNino]

Ryan sounds like a Simpsons character

[@BobKnight-mm2ze]

To me, the MOST amazing thing is how much young people have changed. If you consider how old this video looks (damn Vlad did you shoot this on a flip phone?). Ryan is very clear headed, careful and thoughtful. I mean just IMAGINE any current artists today, being that age, speaking with such competency. Wish V had included the date.

[@mosesmbemba3908]

I mean he was 31 but yea ryan is an intelligent dude, harvard grad

[@BobKnight-mm2ze]

​@@mosesmbemba3908 Oh! Well shit, Harvard. It's not the be all, end all, but it does mean something-especially since he would have had to have gone in the late 80s or 90s.

[@tynicole1513]

It says 2009

[@BobKnight-mm2ze]

@@tynicole1513 I'm not 100% sure that was there yesterday--but thanks. I could've missed it. I think Vlad just wanted to get this up asap.

[@tynicole1513]

@@BobKnight-mm2ze No worries. I was wondering too & had to open the description

[@pkc11d]

Little known fact. Ryan Leslie went to Harvard. You can tell his intelligence by the way he was dancing around Vlads questions

[@teahgurl]

Weeee knnnooww. He was well spoken before Harvard

[@pkc11d]

@@teahgurl Totally agree

Lesson to learn from ryan: Women will always be willing to leave you for someone more famous, powerful and richer than you. 🤔

[@atlsongbyrd6084]

Bet you she wished she stayed with Ryan now.

[@nunya148]

Lawd this man was talking in circles. I wonder if he can talk about it more freely now

[@johnnyrazors9821]

She had a great man but dumped him for Diddy because of money, who cares what happened to her. She got what she wanted

[@jordancartier504]

What im saying 🤦‍♀️
