‘Mad on the Low’: Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Fans Have Mixed Reactions About His Message to Cassie and Boyfriend About Pregnancy

When Cassie revealed that she was having a baby with her boyfriend of less than a year Alex Fine, fans wondered about her former beau Sean “Diddy” Combs.

That’s because he and Cassie were together on and off for more than 10 years, and she began dating Fine just a couple of months after they split. But it turns out that Combs had kind things to say about the baby news.

Cassie made the big announcement Wednesday on Instagram in a photo of herself and Fine. “Can’t wait to meet our baby girl. Love You Always & Forever,” she wrote.

Fine also posted news about his unborn daughter and included a lengthy open letter that included promises to shower her with kisses and show up to every sporting event and dance recital.

On Thursday many believed that Combs took a shot at his ex by posting a sermon that had to do with being patient in life. Based on the comments underneath, some believe the rap mogul was explaining why he split with Cassie and never married her.

Whether that was the case or not isn’t clear, but according to his post on Friday it doesn’t seem like Combs is bothered much

“Congratulations @Cassie and Alex. I wish you all nothing but love and happiness. God bless ❤️❤️❤️ L O V E,” he wrote.

Apparently, when Combs and Cassie dated, the mogul indirectly hired Fine to be her trainer, which is how Cassie and the fitness buff met. It’s also been said that Cassie began fooling around with Fine while she was still with Combs, which she reportedly denied.

Under the 49-year-old’s post about Cassie and Fine, a lot of folks gave him compliments.

“Okay let them mf know @diddy we grown round here nothing but love positive vibes an blessings!!! #salute,” someone wrote on Instagram.

“@diddy you are A REAL one,” a second person commented.

But others thought he was actually hurt about the pregnancy and was faking it.

“He mad mad on the low.”

“You did this publicly on your page to control the narrative. Narcissistic. A text would have been fine.”

“Diddy grow up.”

“I guess she blocked your number?”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
