Safaree became a hot topic after seemingly offering Cassie advice amid her testimony in Diddys sex trafficking and racketeering trial. The ‘Love & Hip Hop’ star recently shared what he thinks her next chapter should be, but his comments sparked quite a reaction from social media and the Roomies.
On Friday, May 16, Safaree took to X (formerly known as Twitter) with some unsolicited advice, telling Cassie to take her $10 million settlement from that 2016 hotel assault and move to an island where nobody knew her.
If I was Cassie Id take that money leave America and live a peaceful life on an island where nobody would know me! he tweeted. 10 mil can last a lifetime if you live normal!
That same day, Cassie revealed in court that she secured $10M from the InterContinental hotel in LA for their role in Diddy’s hallway attack on her. The incident was caught on surveillance camera but never reported to authorities, leading to a hefty payout, according to Variety.
Note that Cassie, per CBS News, received a separate $20M from Diddy when she sued him in 2023 on top of the $10M settlement from the hotel.
Additionally, Safaree had to throw in his two cents about Cassies significant other, Alex Fine, whod been holding her down at the New York courthouse since the start. While thered be a lot of online chatter from people deeming Alex a strong man for being able to sit through Cassies graphic testimony, Safaree saw things a little differently.
The father of two claimed he wouldnt care about Cassie revealing her freak-off experiences in the courtroom. Why? Because what she accused Diddy of doing went down before Alex even started seeing the singer. But after hearing Cassies testimony, Safaree did feel that Alex now needed to “turn up” his freak.
If I was Cassie husband I wouldnt care bout nothing she saying either because it was all b4 me.. I would just know I need to turn my freak up a million knotches, he tweeted.
Safaree’s comments came shortly before Alex released a statement as Cassie wrapped her fourth and final day of sharing her testimony. In the statement, shared by Cassie’s attorney, Doug Wigdor, the personal trainer credited his heavily pregnant wife for her courage as she came face to face with the man she’s accusing of rape.
“I have felt tremendous pride and overwhelming love for Cass,” he said. “I have felt profound anger that she has been subjected to sitting in front of a person who tried to break her. So, to him and all of those who helped him along the way, please know this: You did not. You did not break her spirit nor her smile that lights up every room.
Alex also criticized claims that he had “saved” Cassie, which he regards as an “insult” to all the work she’s put in over the years to overcome her trauma. “Cassie saved Cassie,” he added. “She alone broke free from abuse, coercion, violence and threats. She did the work of fighting the demons that only a demon himself could have done to her.”
One thing about the Roomies and their comments, theyll say it like they mean it. And they had A LOT to share regarding Safarees tweets. See some of their reactions taken from TSR’s post below
