All eyes are on hip-hop superstar Sean “P. Diddy” Combs following the Homeland Security raid on two of his homes in March 2024. Since the raid, fans remember his ex-girlfriend Cassie’s allegations against him. Additionally, the all-girl group Danity Kane, formed on Combs’ MTV series Making the Band, has spoken out against Combs’ actions. Here’s what Combs’ bodyguard, Gene Deal, said about Combs never having a plan for Danity Kane to make it big in the industry.

As Sean “Diddy” Combs prepares to reprise “Making the Band,” Danity Kane’s Aubrey O’Day is still recovering from trauma that followed her run on the MTV series.
Under Diddy’s guidance, the 35-year-old singer found fame in reality television, first on “Making the Band,” which auditioned hopeful vocalists for a spot in a to-be-formed music group. The show was launched in 2000 on ABC by late music mogul Lou Pearlman (who formed O-Town on the series’ first season) before Diddy took over the franchise for MTV in 2002, leading to the formation of groups including Danity Kane and Day 26.
Reflecting on her time on the series during an interview with Variety, O’Day claims she experienced behavior from Diddy that she believes he would “not at all” get away with these days. “Diddy’s a father, so hopefully he’s learned things about the way that you handle women and...

You might be wondering, "Who is Aubrey O'Day?" considering her girl group Danity Kane faded into obscurity in 2014. But Aubrey is back in the spotlight now that Donald Trump Jr. is divorcing wife Vanessa. Why?

Danity Kane is damaged beyond repair. The once-successful girl group, which was formed by Diddy on "Making the Band," hit a major reunion hiccup last year -- after Dawn Richard allegedly attacked Aubrey O'Day. The band's re-launch was called off, but O'Day and fellow Dk alum Shannon Bex went in a new direction on their own, forming the duo Dumblonde. With the twosome's album killing it on iTunes after an indie launch last week, Bex and O'Day stopped by toofab's studio to chat about their latest venture and the demise of Danity Kane. "We were definitely shocked and we were in bed for a good week and crying and trying to figure out what do we do now?," Bex says of the fallout from the fight between Dawn and Aubrey. "We love to create and we love working together so we thought why not get in the studio," she adds.

The behind-the-scenes drama with the women of Danity Kane was worse than we could have ever imagined. The girl group, which was formed by Diddy on "Making the Band" back in 2005, split a few short years later. They re-grouped last year, but fell apart again after a violent fight between Aubrey O'Day and Dawn Richard. Now, Aubrey is speaking out about the band's volatile past with Dawn. In an interview with The Breakfast Club, O'Day and fellow Dk alum Shannon Bex -- who now perform together as the duo Dumblonde -- revealed the tension spans years. "Y’all wanna know straight up?

“I have a lot of different types of music on my iPod.” That’s my go-to response when people ask for my favorite band, clearly trying to learn something about me by the fact that I like Jason Mraz or that one Mystikal song. That sentence is how I avoid judgment. But it’s also true.

They really wanted to give their fans another album, but sadly Danity Kane has announced that they’re splitting for good.
According to a TMZ report, Aubrey O’Day, Dawn Richard and Shannon Bex hit the recording studio on Monday (August 4) and it was said to be instant friction (Audrea Fimbres jumped ship almost immediately after the reunion was announced last year).
Apparently Dawn got so worked up she hauled off and sucker punched Aubrey, who later told press, “Sadness does not even remotely begin to describe what I feel right now.”
To that end, Ms. Bex chimed in, “I now must walk away feeling used and manipulated.” There’s still no word on the status of the comeback album.

It's a year for reunions at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. Girl group Danity Kane is hopping on the trend and will stage a reunion performance at the event. They join -- probably -- boy band 'N Sync in the reunion fever.
Formed by Sean "Diddy" Combs in 2005 as part of MTV's "Making the Band" Season 3, Danity Kane followed up with two hit albums and three Billboard Top 10 hits: "Show Stopper," "Ride for You" and "Damaged." The group was originally made up of five women, Aubrey O'Day, Shannon Bex, Dawn Richard, Aundrea Fimbres and Wanita "D. Woods" Woodgett. O'Day and Woodgett were out of the group by 2008, and the remaining members disbanded in 2009.
Now they're back. Four members of Danity Kane -- O'Day, Bex, Richard and Fimbres -- announced via Instagram that the group had reformed:
"Danity Kane is officially Back! @danitykane #vmas2013 #Rage"

Danity Kane's Aubrey O'Day took to Instagram on Saturday night to post a new promotional photo of the group, teasing fans with blurred versions of the image before revealing the full picture, writing, "Danity Kane is officially Back!"
The photo shows O'Day with her three of her four original bandmates: Shannon Bex, Aundrea Fimbres, and Dawn Richard. Noticeably absent from the photo is D. Woods, who has been pursuing a solo career. Rumors began swirling in May that the Diddy-created group would be reuniting when O'Day, Bex, Fimbres, and Richard were spotted having lunch together.
Earlier this week, photos surfaced of MTV's seating arrangement for tonight's Video Music Awards, showing seats set aside for the members of Danity Kane. An official announcement about Danity Kane's reunion will be made from the VMAs at 8:15pm E.S.T. on MTV.

Danity Kane, the girl group founded via "Making the Band 3," is reuniting for a comeback -- without manager Sean "Diddy" Combs, who helped make them and then break them.
Four founding members, Aubrey O'Day, Shannon Bex, Dawn Richard, and Aundrea Fimbres (fifth member D. Woods was not with them), were spotted by TMZ on Monday (May 13) having lunch together and making plans for a new album and tour. They tell the site they have no plans to include Diddy -- "Who's that?", snarks O'Day.
Five years ago, after famously managing the band while they dropped two platinum albums, Diddy fired all the original members except Richard, after there were several fights between him and the band members. He was reportedly priming Richard for a solo career.
But now it looks as though the band is back together -- without Diddy. In April 2013, O'Day teased the reunion when she posted...

Also, artists from all music genres have gained a lot of impressive achievements, either by adding awards to their collection or having their records atop charts.

Shannon Bex is changing her music direction from R&B like she did in Danity Kane to country music with Garth Brooks as her inspiration. "He's such an honest performer," she told The Tennessean. "I went to his concert for the first time ever, and I was in the 300 level, but it felt like he was performing right to me."
Furthermore, it is revealed that Shannon has been spending some of her time in Nashville in order to work on materials for her debut solo studio album. "I'm just working on kind of finding my solo sound," she said. "I have been with a group for an amazing five years, and you know, it kind of happens, things move on. I want to do it right, though. I'm not jumping into anything."
