Rapper Wale has dismissed rumors circulating about an alleged incident in which music mogul Diddy allegedly hung him off a balcony due to his friendship with Cassie. The story, initially started by DMV rapper-turned-YouTuber Ant Glizzy, has been called pure fiction by Wale’s management.
Key Takeaway
Wale has categorically denied rumors of Diddy hanging him off a balcony over his friendship with Cassie. His management has called the story a complete fabrication and urged media outlets to prioritize factual reporting.
Wale’s team has stated that the rumor is a complete fabrication and expressed their disappointment that it has gained traction. They referred to it as a fantasy written by an outsider attempting to exploit a viral story for clicks. The individuals mentioned in the story, including Cassie, have never met Wale, and he has never been involved in any altercations. Wale wishes for peace for all parties involved in the settlement.
The rumor seems to have drawn inspiration from the 1991 film “The Five Heartbeats,” directed by Robert Townsend. The movie, loosely based on the Motown Hits era, features a record label boss named Big Red who hangs one of his artists off a balcony in a fit of rage after they disrespect his office hours.
Ant Glizzy, who started the rumor, has made it clear in his videos that he has personal issues with Wale and also has lingering beef with fellow rapper Shy Glizzy, whom he also mentioned in the story.
Meanwhile, Diddy has recently settled a highly publicized lawsuit filed by Cassie. The lawsuit alleged rape, physical abuse, and human trafficking. Diddy appeared visibly affected by the ordeal over the weekend.
Ant Glizzy has not taken Wale’s rebuttal lightly and has now threatened to physically confront the rapper who recently signed with Def Jam Records. It remains to be seen how this situation will unfold.
