Cassie ‘King Of Hearts’ Video

Cassie 'King Of Hearts'

Cassie Ventura is out with the music video to her new single ‘King Of Hearts’, off the New York City R&B singer’s upcoming second album on Bad Boy/Interscope.

“My new album is just a little bit of stuff for everybody,” Cassie told MTV’s Buzzworthy about the new album. “On ‘King Of Hearts’ I worked with a producer named J2, and it’s got that jungle/dance/pop vibe. And then on what might be my second single I worked with Jean Baptiste on a song called ‘Money On Love’, and it’s a little bit funkier. And then I also have my R&B ballads, and I have a ska record called ‘Mr. Valentine’. It’s kind of a little bit of everything, and that’s who I am. I change my clothes five times a day!”

Cassie Reacts To Topless Pictures Leak

Topless pictures of Cassie Ventura have emerged on the internet, taken before the singer shaved half of her head. Cassie had this to say last night on her Twitter:

IT SEEMS THAT SOMEONE HAS HACKED INTO MY COMPUTER…THAT’S REAL FOUL AND EVIL. NOW STOP ACTING LIKE YOU HAVEN’T SEEN A TITTY BEFORE.

And this to say this morning on her official web site:

The recent personal pictures that have been leaked on the internet of me were hacked and stolen out of my computer. These photos were obviously never intended for the world to see and it’s sad that people would really take time to steal and post them, it’s just evil. At the end of the day breasts are breasts, mine weren’t the first you’ve seen and they won’t be the last… people need to grow up, let’s move on. Thank you.

Yeah I did it..
