Diddy Splits Danity Kane…Kinda
Diddy makes some changes within Danity Kane’s lineup
After watching what was advertised as the Making the Band 4 season finale where the future of Danity Kane would be decided, I still couldn’t tell whether or not the group would continue to exist as a five member band. MTV has announced that there’ll be a live season finale next week where the group will open up about the status of the group. Arghh – that network knows how to keep me coming back for more!
But regardless of how this season ends, my craving for MTB 4 action was more than satiated during the last 20 minutes of this episode. I’m so used to seeing carefully crafted and staged moments on reality shows that I was NOT expecting to see Diddy get down and dirty with the unsuspecting ladies of DK.
The stakes for these women are significant – one wrong move, and any one of them could go from being an international pop star to a footnote in the history of Bad Boy Records – the tension during the episode’s final moments was so strong that I had to document how the temperature in my apartment escalated during each beat:
Warm: After congratulating them on their achievements, Diddy dismisses Day 26 and Donnie from his boardroom. Diddy wants to speak with Danity Kane alone – uh-oh!
Warmer: Diddy tells DK that his vision for the group is not being fulfilled (see below). He then puts Aundrea and Aubrey on the spot by revealing that they’d previously sent him emails expressing their displeasure with the group.
Hot: Dawn admits that the girls have trust issues with each other.
Sweltering: Diddy trades barbs with Aubrey again, but this time he tells her that she’ll no longer be in Danity Kane!
Since the episode cut right after this moment, I’m not sure if Diddy was threatening Aubrey or if he plans on following through with his statement. We’ll have to tune-in on October 14 at 9p ET/PT to see what really goes down when Diddy and the ladies open up to Sway. In the meantime, I’ll try to cool down by catching up on this week’s episode of Fringe.

What a shocking episode, it was so wrong that it was right! I’m sure most Danity Kane lovers are heartbroken by Diddy’s decision; after all we have never seen these women so much as argue. This may be a shady statement coming from a fan, but I can’t say that I disagree with the outcome. Very much like Diddy, I’ve had it with Aubrey’s (self centered) back talk. Even though I’ve gotten acquainted with each individual member, I really wouldn’t be mad if DK proceeded without her!
