Freddy P Of Da Band Calls Out Diddy & MTV’s For Causing Him To “Hate Life”

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty If we’re keeping it a buck, back when rap mogul Sean Combs, AKA Diddy, brought us MTV’s Making the Band, a lot of us knew he was creating reality TV stars, not successful recording artists. Now, this isn’t because the members of Day26, Danity Kane and Da Band didn’t have the talent to make it in today’s Hip-Hop industry, it was just painfully obvious that we were watching an artist training process that was geared more towards the entertainment of reality show viewers than it was to actual tools for creating lucrative and lasting artist careers. I mean, seriously—how are you going to make a rap group walk miles to bring you cheesecake in front of the whole world and still expect them to be taken seriously as hardcore rappers? Da ...

Twitter Reminiscines Over Diddy & His Past Antics On ‘Making the Band’

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty In the great pantheon of reality television, MTV’s Making the Band was one of the early standouts within the popular genre. As a result, fans on Twitter are discussing the antics of Sean Combs AKA Diddy as the man of the house on the hit series. These days, Diddy is far more mellow and zen, sharing daily affirmations and rooting on his social media followers with positive energy. However, his time on Making the Band, most especially in the second season, remains the stuff of infamy. Sara Stokes, Dylan Dilinjah, Chopper AKA “Young City,” Babs, Ness, and Freddy P eventually formed Da Band although the careers of the aforementioned never fully panned out under Diddy’s direction, respectfully. However, the show was stacked with lege...

Diddy Teams Up With That Rony Seikaly To Release A House Music Track

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: David Becker / Getty If there’s one thing to be said about Diddy, it’s that he doesn’t turn down unique pathways to create hits.
