Bad Rap: The Case Against Diddy

Me & U

I think being in the music industry, you would hear these rumors and then you have these questions about whether or not Diddy was controlling Cassie and whether or not he was controlling her music. Because you look at her debut in 2006 and then her music career after that, you know, nothing that she did really hit Cassie.

the same marks as they do in 2006, which is common and can happen to other artists, but we began to see her more in the public as Diddy's girlfriend and less as the artist Cassie.

106 and Park was, in the early 2000s, the platform for hip-hop. Anybody who was promoting something in Black and in hip-hop culture, you stopped by 106 and Park, you know? And it was really important, especially for those new artists, because a lot of the time it was when, you know, the fans would see these artists perform for the first time, and that was... exactly what happened with Cassie.

All right. This is the hardest part to talk about for me because Not only was my life affected, my child's life was too, because I didn't have the mental capacity to care for either one of us, which is why I was charged with the endangering the welfare of a child was for medical neglect. I was dealing with manic episodes and postpartum depression and still didn't have very much family support.

Out of addiction, out of an abusive relationship, out of being traumatized for two months after being railroaded in the media, questioned by the FBI, dropped by your family, losing everything you've ever owned in your own life.

Can we not talk about this? This is the worst thing in my life, and you're just dwelling on it, and I really don't appreciate it. We can. We can move right past. I'm trying to participate for the sake of maybe Lisa not to focus on the worst thing in my life, the most embarrassing thing.

It was probably two months into us meeting and hanging out together that I learned that he was bringing drugs to that house to the other people that lived there. And that's when I was invited to snort a line of meth for the first time. And... I did. You know, that was the first time I'd ever, ever done it. And I was at this horrible point in my life and drinking too much pretty much every day.

Not the best of decisions, but it wasn't a far step from where I was at. So that was the first time I ever got high on anything. You know what I mean? It was a life-changing experience.

The last time was when he... had the van and almost hit the porch. He aggressively left the road, drove into the grass of the yard and almost clipped the porch as he carped the car or the van to run up the stairs to try and get in the house to get me. That's the last time that I had any type of contact with him.

I had moved there in fear of John because he kept coming back to that house where I had originally met him, where I was living at the time. He would not leave me alone after I broke up with him.

Living in a trap house, what you can provide is everything. Like I said, having the phone and paying the bill every month, that was one thing I could provide to everybody in the house. Now everybody has access to a cell phone with internet.

When you're desperate and you're 20 years old and you're just trying not to die, you'll do anything to stay anywhere that's not outside, which is where the only place I had to go.

I have no idea. It's hard for me to say. I had only had that number. It was like a Verizon prepaid phone for about six months. I still got calls for other people, whoever had had the number prior. There were several people that used my phone in the house that I lived in on a regular basis. So there would be calls coming in for those people.

I was in that house in the basement getting high in the very early morning hours of October 3rd for the last time in my life. So I know exactly where I was at. After I left there, it was probably 3.30 or so in the morning. I went to Waffle House with one of the girls that was getting high with me at the house there.

The Megyn Kelly Show

Mysterious Phone Call, New Leads - Part 3 of Megyn Kelly Investigates: Baby Lisa's Disappearance | Ep. 1024

477.836

Yes. I left my phone there and there were people that were using it throughout the evening. So we had dinner or breakfast, whatever. Went to Walmart, did our shopping, checked out after food stamps hit at six in the morning. I probably got back to the house seven or eight in the morning.

The Megyn Kelly Show

And that's when I was handed my phone that had been cleared of texts and call logs and told, hey, somebody said the FBI had called your phone. And I had no idea what was happening at that point. That's when I turned the news on and was able to see the broadcast of... her missing. Did you say, who picked it up? Let me talk to the person who talked to the FBI. That's what I said.

How old would you say? He was maybe a few years older than me at that point, 24, 25, I think.

I tried to get all those records to be preemptive about it because if the FBI called my phone, I want to know why. That's not something that happens to anybody in their regular life.

The Megyn Kelly Show

And I decided at that moment, never getting high again. So October 4th is my first day sober, 2011. I've been sober since.

So when it was a couple of days later at that point, the FBI stopped me and take me in for questioning. They connected all the dots and confirmed that they had attempted to call my phone on the evening of because they had gotten the call records from the Irwin's phone. And they were just trying to call the number back immediately. That's why my phone was called.

He definitely knew my number by heart because he called me from multiple phones all the time. Like I said, when we first got, when we were first talking, he didn't have a phone. He had just gotten out of jail, was living at the honor center and was trying to get back on his feet. And then he was so devastated when I rejected him and left him. And told him, why?

697.376

You know, you're not the type of man I can have family with. And that's what I want in my life. And I don't know if the way I delivered it or the circumstances surrounding our breakup or if drugs had anything to do with it on his part at that point. But he just revolted completely. Everything in him hated me after that. And the more that I told him, I don't want to talk to you.

The Megyn Kelly Show

I don't want to see you. Don't come around here. You know, we're not getting back together. It just was so constant with him until I left the city.

At the time, no. I've seen his arrest reports and stuff since I broke up and have learned a lot more about him.

It was after Easter that year. I want to say it was like May or June before the 4th of July. Because I didn't end up going to my family's Fourth of July party that year because I was upset about the breakup.

I have no idea. Like I said, after I broke up with him, I tried my very best not to have contact with him, especially in person, because he made me incredibly nervous. Okay. I have a lot of PTSD from the things that he put me through that I've tried really hard to work through over the years. But there's a lot of it I can't let go of. I can't forget being that afraid.

I'm doing it because it's important to me to not participate in something that's going to be a circus. What's important to me is that the story gets told fully. I haven't seen that done yet. I haven't seen anybody investigate whether Jersey was actually involved or not. I wanted to participate in something that was going to light a fire under the ass of the police department and the FBI.

1557.871

I think where that stems from is the situation leading up to him and I breaking up. When I broke up with him, it was because I told him he wasn't the type of man I could see myself having a family with. And I feel like it has been twisted for the last 12 years as a motivation for him or what would be his motive to take her if he did.

He would disappear for hours on end with no explanation. He was quick to anger, last to understand. And I just couldn't handle it anymore.

1613.004

It's hard to say, honestly. I didn't know him very well. He and I were together for less than six months. And we only lived together for a couple of months of that. So I didn't really know him all that well. And most of the time that we were together, you know, we were using drugs together. It wasn't a healthy relationship where you learn... what somebody's capable of.

He was a carpet layer, best I remember. So he was always very active, hardworking kind of guy, trying to support his family. When I moved in there, they were trying not to lose their house. So I was trying to help them get things cleaned up, kind of get everything, move people out, make it a more family appropriate environment for him and his wife and their kids. That's why I moved in there.

They told me they'd be in touch if they needed anything else from me. And I haven't heard anything in 12 years. Never seen anything where they made a statement publicly bringing up my name saying, oh, she was cooperative. She came in for an interview and we have ruled her out as a suspect. You know, that'd be great to hear. But it's never happened.
