It seems like with each passing day there are more accusations and new lawsuits filed against Sean “Diddy” Combs. The music mogul, whose homes were raided on March 25, denies any wrongdoing. But some of the allegations against him are reminding many of his behavior decades ago and his cruel response to the trauma he put others through in his reality TV series Making the Band.
Diddy’s unreasonable demands for the show’s participants
One of the memorable moments from Making the Band 2: Da Band was when Diddy demanded group members Sara Stokes, Lynese “Babs” Wiley, Dylan Dilinjah, Rodney “Chopper” Hill, Frederick “Freddy P” Watson, and Lloyd “Ness” Mathis walk from Midtown Manhattan to Junior’s in Brooklyn and get him a slice of cheesecake. Diddy made it clear anyone who opted not to do the walk would be sent packing.
What was an unbelievable ask then, likely...

“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.
I was raised on The Beatles and Queen and Simon & Garfunkel, and today, I love Mumford & Sons and The Backstreet Boys and Bon Iver and Eminem. But in between, I’ve had many musical phases, and in 2005, I was a teenager who’d just...

Back in October 2008, music mogul Diddy famously broke up the fledgling girl group he had created, Danity Kane, by ceremoniously removing the foursome’s bad-girl lead singer Aubrey O’Day (and, yes, D. Woods, too) live on MTV’s Making the Band. Since her exit, the always-buzzy Ms. O’Day, 26, has been doing acting and singing gigs here and there, but it seems she was really just killing time until she could get back to where she feels most at home: in front of the reality TV cameras. Her new docu-series, All About Aubrey — which will mostly chronicle her attempts...

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.

Diddy, we get it, it’s easy to indulge up over the holidays just don’t let it go to your waist!
That suit’s looking a little tight! Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs posed with his new wax figure at Madame Tussauds New York wax museum today, December 15, 2009 and we couldn’t help but notice he’s a lot more Diddy than his likeness!
Wonder what’s causing the rap mogul to bulk up?
Diddy seems to have a constant battle with weight in general. Besides always harping on his artists to keep in shape he seems to struggle with his own weight from time to time. In the 2008 season of MTV’s reality show Making the Band 4 he challenged himself to stop eating junk food and to exercise, so he could loose some pounds, but when the show ended so did his progress.

An info posted by Visa Myplash about Danity Kane working on a new album was proven untrue because the girl group's members, including Dawn Richard, have all been released from their contract with Bad Boy Records. It means that the band have officially broken up.
Richard's dismissal from the group was announced during "Making the Band 4: The Final Chapter" part 2 on April 23. Only Aubrey O'Day, D. Woods, Shannon Bex and Richard who were present at the show.
When asked why Aundrea Fimbres did not show up with them, O'Day said she had no clue about that matter. As of Bex, she revealed that Fimbres is a little more "sensitive" about what happened during the last episode of the TV show when she was booted by P. Diddy.
During the show, Diddy also gave his comment saying, "There will never be another Danity Kane unless it's these girls right here.
