Caesar had new friends, like Antony and Brutus, who were loyal to him. Caesar did not need Cassius to be his friend; he felt threatened by Cassius at one point. He said to Antony that he did not trust him (he was a thinker, probably plotting something devious). Caesar had hubris and did not feel threatened, really, by anyone. Obviously, Caesar undermined Cassius and did not care for him as a friend.
