OLD NEWS: Diddy and Cassie snuggle up and bloggers go into frenzy!

SEAN 'DIDDY' COMBS has sparked new rumours he is dating singer CASSIE, after the rap mogul was photographed snuggling up to his R&B protege in New York. The Bad Boy Records boss, 38, has long been said to be romantically involved with 21-year-old Cassie - most recently in December (07), just months after he split from his longtime girlfriend and the mother of three of his children, Kim Porter.

Both Combs and the Me & U hitmaker have constantly denied the rumours, but on Sunday (11May08) - when Americans celebrated Mother's Day - the two artists were snapped by Gstylemag.com embracing in New York City's Central Park as they watched a display by street dancers. Combs was first linked to Cassie when she signed to his record label in 2005. He split from model/actress Porter in July (07), shortly after she had given birth to his twin daughters, Jesse James and D'Lila Star.
