And he won the "Best Club Banger" at the 2011 BET Awards for his song "No Hands".
Wale was allegedly hung off the balcony by Diddy
Ant Glizzy released a YouTube video containing a stunning allegation that goes to show the extent of the alleged jealousy that Sean Combs harbored towards anyone who came into contact with former girlfriend Cassie. Ant Glizzy, real name Stephon Green, used to be rapper Shy Glizzy's bodyguard.
On November 18 Ant released a YouTube video on his channel, Barbara Son TV narrating an incident that occurred between Wale, Diddy, and Cassie. According to Ant, he, Shy Glizzy, and Wale were in a studio to record a song alongside Cassie. Ant recalled that before reaching the studio, Wale had warned him and Shy about Diddy's extremely protective nature towards Cassie. Ant revealed:
"Diddy and Wale had prior run-ins, and he told Wale to stay away from her"
Ant speculated that they weren't supposed to be there together and were supposed to send individual recordings. Ant swore that Combs had "secret people" who followed Cassie wherever she went. The ex-bodyguard called Combs, "crazy" and "obsessive".
While Wale and Cassie were recording in the booth, Combs allegedly walked in aggressively with security guards went into the booth part of the studio, which also supposedly had a balcony, and shut the blinds. Ant recalled hearing noises of things being shuffled around aggressively, which prompted him and Shy to peep through the blinds only to see Wale hanging off the balcony. Ant revealed:
"He hanging off the balcony, they dangling him by his feet"
He added:
"We knew it was him because we knew what type of shoes Wale wore to the studio"
Later, Ant recalled Diddy and his security storming out along with Cassie, who according to him might have gotten a temporary restraining order against Combs that day. Shy Glizzy allegedly walked out of the studio and pretended to not know what was going on while Wale allegedly acted like Combs and his security only tried to bully him and allegedly pretended that they did not do anything to him.
