Ever wondered how Cassie and Michael B. Jordan got together? Well, we’ve got answers.
10 years ago, the Me & U singer struck up a relationship with the Sinners star during one of the many “off” moments in her on-again, off-again relationship with Diddy. And this week, a stylist who used to work for the Bad Boy Records founder and Cassie testified about setting them up.

As Deonte Nash continued his testimony on Thursday, he reflected on hooking up Cassie with the Black Panther star after she came to him upset about Diddy. He claimed that while she was shooting Honey 3 in South Africa in 2015, she discovered the Bad Boy for Life rapper had been cheating on her with another woman. He recalled her asking:
“Why does [Diddy] keep humiliating me and trying to ruin my career?”
Poor girl.
It was at that point Nash decided to try and matchmake her and the Creed star — as they were both young, attractive, and in the same industry. He testified:
“I did hook her up with Michael B. Jordan. He fine, she fine. I mean, why not? They started talking, dating — getting to know each other more so.”
It’s not clear how long the romance lasted, but Cassie ultimately got back together with Diddy for another three years. They didn’t break things off for good until 2018. We all heard in testimony the past few days about how much Diddy flipped out after finding out about Cassie’s relationship with Kid Cudi in 2011. Innerestingly there was nothing said about the way he reacted to the Michael B. Jordan news.
Not that Nash didn’t see any violence! He testified on Wednesday that he witnessed the music executive beat Cassie and pressure her to participate in “freak-offs.” He also described the other ways he would degrade and threaten her. Awful.
