In the meantime, Diddy partnered with Leslie to release Ventura's self-titled debut album Cassie in August 2006, through Bad Boy and Atlantic Records .[ 1] [ 2] The album debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200 and charted within the top forty in the UK Albums Chart , where it later received a Silver certification by the British Phonographic Industry .
