Slim Thug has admitted that he owes Cassie an apology after a video of Diddy assaulting her emerged.
The Houston rap star took to Instagram on Friday (May 17) to offer up his thoughts on the horrifying footage, after spending time in the past defending the embattled Hip Hop mogul.
Slim shared a screenshot of the New York Post story reporting the incident, and wrote: “Damn Diddy [palm on face emoji] I tried to ride with the Blk man who had no charges yet but I can’t stand behind this [mouth zipped emoji] I’ll take this L.
“But I still will ride with my ppl until I see some sort of proof I don’t believe in blogs or civil suits
“Apologies to Cassie and whoever else was on the right side this time [three prayer hands emoji].”
Despite the apologies, plenty of commenters were upset by Thug’s initial disrespect.
One user wrote: “Make the apologies as loud as the disrespect.”
Another added: “You should do a video apologizing like you did blaming her. [eye roll emoji] Sometimes it best to keep your opinions to yourself especially on matters like abuse.”
A third said: “Sometimes it pays to sit back and keep your opinions to yourself until you have all the facts.”

The “3 Kings” rapper made his post a day after video emerged of Diddy caught on camera physically assaulting Cassie, with whom he settled a bombshell lawsuit back in November 2023.
In disturbing new footage obtained by CNN on Friday (May 17), a man identified as the embattled mogul could be seen in the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, CA, running from his hotel room, wearing nothing but a towel.
The incident, which took place in 2016, then cut to Diddy grabbing Cassie by the neck and throwing her to the floor. He then kicked her repeatedly, grabbed her personal items away from her, then kicked her once again before running back to his hotel room.
The “Me & You” singer then tried to use a hotel phone to call for assistance, which prompted the Bad Boy mogul to once again shove her down to the ground. He was then seen sitting on a hotel chair, still wearing nothing but his towel, and threw what appeared to be a vase in her direction.
The reason for Thug’s apology can be traced back to 2023, when he made his opinions known on Cassie after she accused Diddy of rape and domestic abuse in a lawsuit.
Taking to Instagram, the Houston rapper suggested that Cassie filed the lawsuit for financial gain, saying: “They’re coming back and getting Bill Cosby, coming back and getting Puff — I don’t believe in that, man.
“When shit go down, speak on that shit right there or it should be null and void. You shouldn’t be able to do shit unless you let the people know what happened immediately. There should be a time limit on that shit.
“What happened was […], you were fucking with a billionaire with all this bread all this time, and then you went and followed your heart to fucking with a trainer.”
He added: “That apartment got small, that lifestyle fell off, now it’s struggle time, the love wearing off and now you trying to come up with ways to figure out how to get paid […] Quit trying to expose people for money.”
In a separate video the rapper made after being criticized for his remarks, he somewhat apologized to Cassie, saying: “That was my personal opinion. I’m sorry we don’t agree on everything…I don’t hate Cassie, I didn’t even know Cassie was black.”
This the results of someone with 0 information but wanting the imagine of being the next Malcolm X so bad he fought the wrong fight and made himself look stupid. Malcolm faced real issues new ages blacks create issues and it don’t hit the same sorry
it’s what happens when people make heroes out of creeps and losers who sell jail culture to white kids
White kids can listen to gangster music and not cos play a gangster.. jail music effects black kids 1000x times more bc you guys can’t separate real life from your cosplays of 90s gangsters. Shells
Must be why we got all of these white junkies in the suburbs and in rural America. Nobody promotes that lifestyle quite like the modern junkie rapper.
Fuck them junkies I embarrass them whenever I can lol you’ll never catch me enabling or going to bat for them white trash junkies 😂 standards little boy
guys like that should have never got promoted. unfortunately we’re stuck cheerleading for creeps. won’t make that mistake again although I was never mr gangsta mr thug. this is what they say they do in the songs so stop acting surprised.
Slim is the typical contrarian dummy in the hood. He does this stupid shit all the time.
Shut up before I beat your ass in a hotel lobby next
Slim Thug wasn’t defending Diddy’s personal character. Just saying he didn’t believe in taking a man down through gossip and civil cases that may eventually be settled. Unfortunately these are the people black folks grew up with. At the very least there’s enough of us around to remember Puffy didn’t invent anything and took advantage of a lot of situations. They got rich off a lot of negative situations and now we see the fall.
Why can’t you just be an adult and admit that he was defending Diddy instead of jumping through all these mental hoops that you’ve set up for yourself?
Thats why its best to be patient, STFU, and mind your business.
what if he’s been up to bad stuff had people robbed or killed since then. This was 2016. It works both ways. People want to see proof like Slim Thug but they also don’t want rich dudes to buy their way out of what everyone else has to go to court to address. They don’t want sickos on the street just because they have money.
Houston is full of retards.
And there’s plenty more who owe apologies, just how many have turned a blind eye?
