Cassidy has revealed that he was once in talks to sign Meek Mill but the deal never worked out because he wasn’t in the “best position.”
In a recent interview with African Cultural Art Forum (ACAF), the Philly native talked about a number of topics involving his career and the music industry. During one part of the conversation, Cassidy made the shocking revelation that at one point he tried to sign Meek Mill.

Cassidy, however, said he wasn’t in the “best position” to offer the Dream Chasers boss what he needed. Despite offering his fellow Philly the chance to go independent through a distribution deal, Meek declined.
“It wasn’t like I was super connected to the machine,” he said. “I was moving towards the independent direction. So I was offering him distribution, but more in like an independent way, [however] maybe he wanted to be more on the major side.”
Cassidy’s desire to sign Meek might be surprising given that the two once had a heated feud resulting in the pair trading blistering freestyles back-and-forth. Most notably, in 2013 at the height of their beef, following Meek releasing his “Kendrick You Next” diss track, Cassidy responded with “Catch a Body.”
In other Cassidy news, the rapper recently said his Hip Hop influence can’t be ignored by fans or critics especially in light of his peak years as an enigmatic punchline king.
During a recent interview with The Bootleg Kev Podcast the rapper reminisced about the synergy between himself, Lil Wayne, and Fabolous in the studio. All three lyrical giants collaborated on “6 Minutes,” taken from Cassidy’s second album, I’m a Hustla.
When Bootleg Kev asked if the session was competitive, Cass confirmed it was while diving more into the makings of the record.

“I was in New York, and Wayne came through,” Cassidy began. “I was in the studio with Fab a lot back then; so Fab came through the studio. Like, we really locked in. We wasn’t really like sending records or nothing like that. We really locked in and made it happen. I was the one that put that record together. It wasn’t like a label thing or something like that.”
He continued: “I knew Wayne was rapping at the time and I knew that Fab was rapping at the time so if all of us came and went crazy like that, no hook, it don’t even gotta be about no hook, tryna make a hit record, I know we can do that. That’s easy. But, just talking about spitting, and I knew that would make a mark, so that’s why I wanted to put that record together.
