Should Diddy Be Blamed For Danity Kane's Woes? Or Is It All Fake?

I’ve been reading a lot of opinions on whose fault it is that Danity Kane “broke up”. Well, in the second to the last episode of Making The Band a few weeks ago, Diddy fired Aubrey O’Day and D. Woods decided to leave(?). Then on the live finale, Diddy told Aubrey to take responsibility for her own actions after listening to an awful long speech from her about being in the business and how much she loves the group and is friends with everyone. As much as I love Aubrey, I wanted to shut her up myself. 

What this all came down to was, some of the girls felt threatened that Diddy is doing some other projects with another member. None of them were vocal about their complaints except for Aubrey whose always been opinionated and is not afraid to talk to Diddy. If she has something to say, she’ll say it. Ultimately, Diddy felt insulted that he’s being questioned. The great Diddy. The mogul of all things. *ahem*. Aubrey wanted to be in the know of plans since it affects her career with the group, while Diddy felt it’s none of her business. That to me is unfair. Diddy doesn’t think so and fired Aubrey on the spot.

Now, let’s see enumerate Diddy’s history on forming his groups.

DREAM : They were all Diddy’s protege for 2 years, then all of a sudden they’re gone. Without even a “hey we’re gone” kind of news. The old members of DREAM are currently making a comeback and auditioning girls to form their new group. FYI, Dream has released a statement in their Myspace bulletin board stating that they don’t blame Diddy for their breakup. As a matter of fact, once the DREAM revamp is finished, BAD BOY will be the the first company they’d go to. Not because they’re are legally bound to but because BAD BOY has been good and respectful to DREAM. Interesting.

There was a rap group that Diddy created when he took over MTV’s Making The Band show after Old Town (boy band) was created. If I remember it right, there were 2 seasons of search until Diddy decided the group is just not good enough.

Then came the search for an all-girl group. He picked girls, sent some home and 1 season was dedicated to scratching everything out to start over with 2 members already picked out. Aubrey and Aundrea. That’s how Danity Kane was formed. They were having a good run there for a minute. Great album, pretty sexy girls who can sing. But now there’s only 3 remaining members. Or so it seems.

After the live finale aired, MTV released a press about extra episodes of Making The Band that will be out on early 2009. As soon as I heard that my mind went on suspicious mode. Really?? MTV has more episodes after this firing fiasco. Hmmmm.

• Will Danity Kane go on as a 3-member group?
• Will Diddy bring back Aubrey and D.Woods after maybe an episode of them “begging” to be let back in.

The real question here is : What scenario will Diddy earn more money?

• Would he earn more money in bringing back Danity Kane after their “fake” *couch cough” break up?
• Or would he earn more money from doing another season of Making The Band where he searches for 2 new members?

Think about it.
