Cassie, on the other hand, is wearing a black hoodie pulled over her head to seemingly stay incognito. She holds him tight with her arms wrapped around his back. One can literally feel the emotion as she whispers something in his ear, with their embrace screaming love and support.
The cause of the race clearly hit close to home for Cassie, who’s currently testifying against Diddy in his sex trafficking trial. By the end of the clip, the singer seemed concerned for Fine as she spoke to an onlooker about finding him a better resting spot.
In 2019, Alex Fine, Cassie's husband, ran that 50-mile marathon for domestic violence & they hugged each other.

In a message shared on his official GoFundMe page, the personal trainer wrote at the time, “I am raising money for Haven Domestic Violence Shelter in Pontiac, Michigan.”

According to ABC News, prosecutors have told the judge that the 38-year-old must finish giving testimony by the aforementioned date, as she could be heading into labor any day.
“We are afraid she could have the baby over the weekend,” Maurene Comey, the Assistant United States Attorney, stated in court, per the outlet.
