Is Diddy Done with Danity Kane ?

on Wednesday, October 8, 2008

So if anyone saw the recent episode of MTV's Making the Band 4, we all heard Diddy sit the girls of Danity Kane down and ask "What is the problem"? and what followed was a tension filled back and forth between "problem child" Aubrey O'Day and Diddy, ending with him saying that she was out of the group!



So the question now is....are they still a group? Does Diddy actually cut a DK member? These burning questions are revealed in a live "Making the Band 4" Special on Tuesday, October 14th at 9pm ET/PT. Hosted by MTV News correspondent Sway from the Times Square studio, Diddy will give viewers the low down on what really happened when he confronts his platinum recording artists about dissension in the group. Viewers will have face time with Danity Kane when they give their version of the drama that unfolds; and talk about the rumors that have been floating around for weeks questioning the actual state of the group.
Viewers were left stunned after the cliffhanger in the"Making The Band 4" season finale. They watched Danity Kane, Day26 and Donnie Klang after their successful promotional tour. and then go on a much needed vacation to Cabo San Lucas.


But it all ended when Diddy had all the groups come up to the Bad Boy Offices to talk with them about how proud he was..then dismiss Day 26 and Donnie to have a "Candid" conversation with the members of Danity Kane .
The back and forth tension between Diddy and O'Day isn't anything new, Diddy has accused O'day of doing her own thing, and exhibiting behavior during the " off season" that is detrimental to the group . Know as the "Sex pot" of the group she can always be seen as "Vamping it up" and saying "colorful things", and her new photo spread in complex magazine is not exception!




With her mouth open and big hair, she is looking more like a blow up doll or porn star than a teen pop star...but with the way that young hollywood is acting right now, she is probably the norm!



She has also been linked to several people, most recently Donnie Walburg from New Kids of the Block

When asked about the rumor she asked...“Who started that rumor?” , “He is a gorgeous guy and he is a very dear friend of mine.” The Boston Herald reported the 24-year-old and Wahlberg, 39, “hooked up” in June.
In addition to singing pursuits, O'Day performed as Amber Von Tussle in the Broadway musical Hairspray, has made a cameo appearance in Estelle's new music video for Pretty Please and has recently started her own clothing line called Heart on My Sleeve,modeled by America's Next Top Model Winners Caridee English and Jaslene Gonzalez, which features t-shirts and accessories only available online


The other members of the group seem to be on there own path, and not necessarily stardom driven. Aundrea, who was once very close to Aubrey , to be later replaced by D. Woods, seems to be a homebody, preferring to stay in and be with family then out and about on the town. The same goes with Shannon, who is the only one that is married, and surprisingly so, after all of this! She has a family and prefers to stay grounded with them.
Dawn, in love with Day 26 member Q, prefers to be with him and only him, to the point of nausea . So that leaves O' Day and D. Woods , who have nic-named themselves Ebony and Ivory. This "Clique-ish" behavior was pointed out by Diddy on the season finale of Making the Band as well!

With All Due Respect to the other girls in Danity Kane, it’s easy to see why Diddy built his group around Aubrey O’Day. Simply put, Aubrey is that star that pulls them in....most people remember her name and not the others in the band. With her other pursuits, she is the least likely to fall into the post-reality-show abyss.

Combs stated on the Finale episode of Making the Band that he did have Dawn Richard on three demos for his new album. And later on declared that Aubrey O'Day was no longer be a member of Danity Kane . Although an official announcement has not been made from Bad Boy. Rumors also say that there will be another Making the Band to find a replacement for Aubrey O'Day.
But Diddy is nothing if not smart and also know for being overly dramatic..(remember the nurse body slamming him for eating a doughnut?), so if something is a cash cow like O'Day.....I don't think she's going anywhere....Danity Kane wouldn't be Danity Kane without O'Day....it's like if Beyonce' left Destiny's Child!...who the hell would watch them?

DO YOU THINK O'DAY WAS KICK OUT OF THE GROUP?
WOULD YOU STILL BUY THE ALBUM WITH A NEW MEMBER?

I ont think Danity Kane would be the same and I think it is a publicity stunt for ratings because Diddy is all about attention and TV time..Honestly though it wouldnt surprise me if DK was to break up because out of all the groups that have been on BAD BOY RECORDS who is left still together??? NOONE!!! not Faith, Carl Thomas, 112, the original group Da Band, that other girl group he had...Diddy doesnt have longevity with his groups!! Thats just the history of it!

DK one was of his more popular groups. I think he felt they were going to break up on their own soon anyway and of course he has to do things on "his" terms.
Also O'day's head was really starting to swell and only Diddy can do that, he is the boss and she was showing lack of respect. Not enough head room for both in a room.
