“After I’ve gotten several calls from people giving me their condolences and I didn’t know what they were talking about, I was sent this article that’s going around. I don’t know how she could have died and nobody told me or her. So I called her and asked her was she dead and she said hell no! Can whoever is responsible for this please stop you better be careful when you speak death over a child of God,” Perry said over a fake article where he slapped the word “FAKE” over it. “This woman is loved by millions and you’re hurting a lot of people. Cassi is fine living her best life with no worries, no cares, no social media, and no drama. She’s waiting to shoot the next season of House of Payne.”

Davis, who was born in Holly Springs, Mississippi, on July 31, 1964, studied music at Spelman College in Atlanta.

In order to finish her degree, Davis returned to Spelman in 2008, receiving her diploma in November of that year.
