<p><strong>Cassie</strong> finally received a platinum plaque for her 2006 hit &#8220;Me &; U,&#8221; over 15 years after the song reached platinum status, the singer revealed on Instagram Thursday.</p>
<p>The 35-year-old wrote that her attorney could not believe she never received one after telling him about it. He then had one made for her, which was &#8220;long overdue&#8221; she said, 16 years to be exact.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Frankie said, &#8216;it’s Mommy Elsa!&#8217; I’ll take it! Anything that makes me cooler to her ð§âï¸. Now that I have your attention ð please swipe for something I’m just soooo beyond thankful for,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;When I told my attorney, <a class="oajrlxb2 g5ia77u1 qu0x051f esr5mh6w e9989ue4 r7d6kgcz rq0escxv nhd2j8a9 nc684nl6 p7hjln8o kvgmc6g5 cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x jb3vyjys rz4wbd8a qt6c0cv9 a8nywdso i1ao9s8h esuyzwwr f1sip0of lzcic4wl notranslate _a6hd" tabindex="0" role="link" href="https://www.instagram.com/chrisbrownthelawyer/">@chrisbrownthelawyer</a> that I never received my Platinum Plaque for ‘Me &; U’ he couldn’t believe it and so graciously had one made for me.
