The singer, 38, gave birth on Tuesday, May 27, in a New York City hospital, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told TMZ on Wednesday, May 28. Cassie gave birth slightly before her due date, though the insider said that both she and the baby are doing well.
TMZwas the first to report that Cassie was rushed to a hospital in New York City on May 27 as she had gone into labor.
The “Kiss Me” artist and personal trainer Alex, 32, welcomed their first child, daughter Frankie, 5, in September 2019, three months before the couple wed in December of that year.
Daughter No. 2 arrived in March 2021, when Cassie gave birth to Sunny, 4.

The New London, Connecticut, native announced in February that she and Alex were expecting baby No. 3.
Cassie took the stand in Diddy’s trial starting on May 13. She was heavily pregnant at the time and broke down sobbing throughout her four days on the witness stand. Cassie and Diddy began dating in 2007 — when she was 19 years old — and ended things for good in 2018. Combs has pled not guilty and denied all charges
Cassie recalled participating in “freak offs” for the music mogul’s pleasure.
“He described it as a fantasy he had where he would want to see me having sexual interactions with another male so he could watch,” she testified, noting she was 22 years old at the time.
Cassie said she ended up having intercourse with a male sex worker.
“I was high, so I didn’t feel much. Did this really happen to me? I didn’t know what was going to happen after that, if we were going to do it more frequently. I said yes to more, I didn’t want to make him upset or angry,” Cassie testified.
“I felt pretty horrible about myself. I felt disgusting. I felt humiliated,” Cassie shared about being part of the “freak offs,” adding, “I didn’t have the words to show how horrible I felt. I couldn’t talk to anyone about it.”
Cassie also testified to alleged beatings at the hands of Diddy, including being thrown to the ground in 2013, which left her with a scar over her eye.

The “Love a Loser” singer also addressed one reason why federal authorities seized 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant from Diddy’s Miami and Los Angeles homes during March 2024 raids, saying the substance was used during “freak offs.”
“Sean wanted it heated, and he wanted it to be glistening, so we applied every five minutes,” she said about herself and other participants.
Cassie went on to recall how one time there was “a pool filled with baby oil” during a particular “freak off” at the Montage Beverly Hills.
“If Sean wanted it to happen, that was what was going to happen, there was no way around it,” she said of that experience. “We used 10 bottles of baby oil, regular size.”
Cassie described how “freak offs” occurred at Diddy’s houses and hotels across the world, including Miami, Los Angeles, New York City, Las Vegas, Atlanta, Ibiza, Spain and Turks and Caicos.
Upon completing her testimony, Cassie said in a statement through her attorney, “This week has been extremely challenging, but also remarkably empowering and healing for me. I hope that my testimony has given strength and a voice to other survivors, and can help others who have suffered to speak up and also heal from the abuse and fear.”
“I’m glad to put this chapter of my life to rest. As I turn to focus on the conclusion of my pregnancy, I ask for privacy for me and for my growing family,” she added.
Diddy’s legal team did not dispute that he liked baby oil or had unusual sexual habits, but said his relationships were consensual during opening statements on May 12.
Diddy’s lawyer, Teny Geragos, told jurors he made “voluntary adult choices” with “capable, strong adult women.”
“We will not shy away from the things he did, but we will not own the things he did not do. He is physical, he is a drug user, you may know of his love of baby oil. Is that a federal crime? No!” she added.
Diddy was arrested on September 16, 2024, following a lengthy federal investigation.
The Bad Boy Records cofounder was charged in a three-count indictment with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. The indictment alleged Diddy abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him to “fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct.”
