One might say Berry Gordy wouldn't have let The Supremes self-destruct after only two albums, especially after everything it took to craft the group and their sound, including all those grueling seasons of Making [THAT] Band. The buck has to stop somewhere. That said, I don't agree with disrespecting the man for a couple of reasons. Actually three: 1. Say what you want, the man is a urban music icon. We wouldn't even be talking about him if he wasn't. Forget the clothing lines, and fragrances, and comedy specials, and the acting, and J-Lo and all that other crap. He produced Biggie on some of the greatest Hip Hop tracks known to man. Not to mention the hits he made with MJB, Total, Lil Kim, 112, Ma$e, and on and on. The list of artists he's scored number ones for is a veritable "Who's Who" of Hip Hop/R&B of the last 25 years. Day 26 and Danity Kane were no exceptions. All those people benefited from his musical instincts, work ethic and marketing acumen, and so did we. Remember that the next time you're in your car or in the club bobbing your head to a Bad Boy track. 2. Some might say that because Diddy had a lot of acts to come and go, that artists like DK signed to Bad Boy who leave or breakup do so because of him...but did you even SEE the show??? I mean, let's not just make @#$! up. That band was created from a reality-show competition. The women picked for their talent AND their lively personalities, which made the show more dramatic and entertaining to watch than a gang of goodie-two-shoes who always got along. With any group of people, especially women in close quarters, that's just a fantasy, and is not in line with what we all at least witnessed on the show. Putting the melodramatic flourish in the editing booth aside, it was clear at the end of that series that the DK group members had personal and artistic differences. Differences that mushroomed into things like bad press events where someone said something that offended someone else, and even with some members missing scheduled appearances for the sake of solo projects. Under pressure, the gravity of opposing cliques took over to eventually result in the conflict we watched unfold on the show and in the press. The girls even made it clear that Diddy was unaware of some of the reason for the bad blood between the girls, which they kept close to the vest even as the show aired its final post-series reunion. Diddy's main source of direct friction was only with Aubrey, and he claims he didn't know any of the other women had a problem with him as their boss. 3. No, Diddy is not God, and neither was Berry Gordy. Though they did last for more than two albums, The Supremes did eventually break up, but not before Gordy, Ross, Wilson and Ballard all went through their disagreements, as somewhat dramatized in the "Dreamgirls" play/movie. Such is the nature of the music business. Sports teams change rosters, coaches; some of the people who were at your job when you first got hired aren't there anymore, and maybe neither are you. Why do we expect our entertainers not to go through the same process of personal growth and decision making for their lives? Change is the Universe's only constant, and in the most fickle industry on planet earth, musical groups are bound to come and go. Why do we expect Diddy to be stronger than human nature? Maybe because as I said, in our world, he is an icon. And no matter what successes or failures Sean "Diddy" Combs is a part of, he has already given us a clue how he will react in any situation: "I thought I told ya that we won't stop. Bad Boy for life."

Dude could offer me a record deal today and I wouldn't take it. Looking at the demise of all his artist/groups over the years (Total, Lox, Loon, Black Rob, Da Band, Shyne, Dream, Danity Kane etc. etc.) just confirms that he is the COMMON DENOMINATOR. The artist are not the problem but instead the label from which they are under. As for P Diddy, I'd say stick to producing and his clothing line because that is the only thing that is consistently working for him. Other than that this trend will continue with P Diddy "$CASHING IN$" on his artist...at THEIR expense!!! P Diddy cannot maintain longevity in his music groups if his LIFE depended on it (smh)!

He should have let them work out on their problems instead of just kicking them out so quickly. I'm glad that Aubrey stood up to his bull crap and is doing her thing. Puff made it look like it was her fault that the group had problems when it was more than that. He kicked out Aubrey and then kicked our D. Woods for a reason i still don't understand. I hope they can get back together, but on a better record label because nothing ever last with puffy. He just uses and then toss them away when he doesn't need them anymore.

Those large teeth talk a good game... and he always leaves these people shambles while he puts out album after album and makes money from his and their careers. He has NO personal integrity- it shows how he's always in the tabloids with some new young fling, cheating on his family... so what makes us feel that he would have work integrity. Sean is about making Sean happy. Aubry wasn't with that... that's why they clashed. I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted her. I hope they all do better without him. Poor Total, Carl Thomas, Young Joc, faith Evans, 112, ...ect. The list goes on of the people who he has just USED... then he wanna be in their videos with big shiny suits on all the damn time. Wow.

All the women within this band knew what it took to make it in the music world. Why should Diddy be a punk because of the decision he made? If you recall the choice was also the bands and they decided their own fate not Diddy. Like any other job there are rules you follow and if you can't follow these rules then there are consequence. It is up to the artist to continue to do what it takes to be in the music world and why should Diddy hold their hands when each and every one of these artist that Diddy has dealt with knew it would take a lot more than making one song. So I feel Diddy has done his part to give them the start they needed and the rest would fall on the artist themselves to continue to make it where they want to be. How can you honestly say that?
