Cassie Gets Nipples Pierced in the Name of Cancer

It’s a good thing Cassie is sleeping with Diddy, ’cause her music sucks and her brain needs some rewiring– bad.

Was it super-painful when you got your nipples pierced?

“I don’t have any nipple piercings!

Um, yes you do.

“Can you really see them? [Laughs.] It’s not like I was trying to hide them. I wear T-shirts, so you’re going to see them. I think it’s sexy. I’m proud of them. I wasn’t expecting that [question]! No, it’s not too painful. It stings when it happens. It’s a really strange feeling.

When did you get them?

“It was kind of for a reason: my mother is a two-time breast cancer survivor. They have gene-testing for that cancer gene, so I got tested. I got my piercings before I got my results, like positive energy. I’m sitting there with my parents, my mom’s sobbing after she finds out that I don’t have the gene, and I’m like, “Guess what, Mom and Dad, I got my nipples pierced!”

When I was 16 I got my tongue pierced.  All my mom could say was, “I was watching Dateline last night.  They say lesbian get their tongues pierced.”  And then there was just awkward silence.
