Where Are They Now? 11 Singers and Rappers Who Didn’t Blow Up Like We Thought They Would…

Cassidy

The year was 2003, and around that time, Cassidy was coming on to the scene with his cute self. He dropped the album, Split Personality, with the cut “Hotel” (hey, R. Kelly) and in 2005, Cassidy also released the album, I’m a Hustla, which came with the popular single of the same name (which included a sample of Jay-Z). But after the fact, Cassidy got into legal trouble following a fatal shooting he was involved in (and had to serve eight months in prison for), and not to mention that he was also in a car accident that scarred his face permanently. Because of all these distractions, a career that seemed to be going in the right direction was brought to a halt with the quickness. Since then, he released the much ballyhooed “Drink and My Two-Step” track, but that was about it after a while. He released two more albums, one under Carmelo Anthony’s Kross Over Entertainment (and that one only sold 5,200 in its first week out…ouch). He’s done some acting (Next Day Air), and most recently in July, he released a new mixtape for his fans. Can we call it a comeback???

Naaaaaah.
