Diddy Fires Back At Aubrey O’Day For “The Downfall Of Diddy” Allegations

by

Diddy has fired back at Aubrey O’Day for alleging that he only gave Bad Boy Records artists back their publishing rights in an attempt to silence them from speaking out about his behavior. O’Day spoke about the various allegations surrounding Diddy in recent months during an interview with TMZ for the outlet’s new Tubi documentary, The Downfall of Diddy.

In a statement to TMZ, sources from Diddy’s team wrote: “Aubrey O’Day got her big break because Diddy and Bad Boy cast her in their show with her group, Danity Kane. Last year, when he reassigned his portion of the publishing to Bad Boy artists, an unprecedented move within the industry and which he did not have to do, not all artists signed an NDA, contrary to what she claims.”

As for O’Day’s claims, she said during the documentary: “I received the publishing deal, I know what it says, I know how much money it was giving me. I’ll tell you: $300.30. For a full release of all claims against Diddy and many other players. I think he was making moves to keep as many people quiet as possible. When I went to look at the publishing deal, it said anything but I’m being made whole financially again. In fact, it asked me to not have access to my story and my experience anymore. It asked me specifically to stay silent and never speak poorly about a human.” Check out a trailer for The Downfall Of Diddy below.

Diddy previously explained his decision to let the Bad Boy artists get their publishing back during an appearance on The Breakfast Club in 2023. He remarked at the time: “You don’t have to make changes in the world, but if you have a chance to do the right thing, you do the right thing. That’s a world I want to live in. I want to be the change that I want.” As for the allegations he’s been facing, he’d denied all of the claims stemming from Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones Jr.’s lawsuit and more. Police also have not charged him with any crimes. Be on the lookout for further updates on Diddy and Aubrey O’Day on HotNewHipHop.

Aubrey O’Day has been in the news quite a bit as of late. Overall, a lot of this has to do with her proximity to Diddy back in the day. Her girl group Danity Kane was signed to Diddy, and she got to see the way he operates. Her opinion of Diddy is mostly negative, and she has been very adamant about the allegations against him.

Aubrey O’Day Claims Diddy Wanted to Buy Silence in Exchange for Publishing Rights

Aubrey O’Day Claims Diddy Wanted to Buy Silence in Exchange for Publishing Rights 

There have been some interesting updates with Aubrey O’Day, one of the few voices who tried to warn the world about Diddy years ago. As you may know she got her big break after Diddy and Bad Boy cast her in their show with her group, Danity Kane.

TMZ reported that last year when the mogul formerly known as Puff Daddy reassigned publishing rights back to Bad Boy artists, it was considered an unprecedented move within an industry known for unfairly withholding pub rights and revenue, and quite frankly, he didn’t need to do, artists were asked to sign NDAs. But O’Day says not all signed the silencing document and did not want parts of Diddy’s NDA to get back her publishing rights, which she contends wasn’t worth much. 

O’Day was signed to Bad Boy Records in the 2000s, so she had a front-row seat to who Diddy was during that time. TMZ spoke to her for their new documentary The Downfall of Diddy, premiering on Tubi, which unpacks the Bad Boy CEO’s allegations and ensuing investigation after those major raids that hit his homes in Los Angeles and Miami. 

Get this: O’Day claims she had wind of what may have been coming for Diddy as far back as September 2023. See, that’s around the time Diddy made that big announcement that he was giving his former artists (the one’s who are still alive) the rights to their music catalogs.

On the surface, however, left field felt like a generous move. However, according to Aubrey, there were strings attached behind the scenes. Aubrey O’Day claimed Diddy included as part of the deal that artists needed to sign NDAs. This maneuver was designed to silence them from speaking out on their experiences while at Bad Boy, and most certainly in the presence of Sean “Diddy” Combs. Aubrey shut that right on down. She feels her ability to talk about her time during her Bad Boy days is more valuable than what was being offered.

Not to mention, her talking now has been consistent with her energy for years. O’Day has been talking about Diddy’s behavior for a long time, and she has been sounding the alarm. No one was listening until the relatively recent accusations and civil suit brought on by singer Cassy and several others, which Diddy categorically denies even though he settled with Cassy less than 24 hours after the suit became public. And if you think that big to do about the publishing was about real money, think again. At least for O’Day, she contends the amount of cash connected to her publishing rights was disrespectfully low. If true, we’re talking about pennies. And TBH, she’s making real money on other platforms, such as her OnlyFans, so it’s no wonder she rejected the offer.

Aubrey O’Day has much more to reveal, and when it appears on TMZ Presents: The Downfall of Diddy, she will get to say her piece.

Aubrey O’Day is someone who has been known to do some controversial things from time to time. Overall, who doesn’t? In this day and age, very little is considered not to be controversial in at least some capacity. However, there is no doubt that O’Day doesn’t mind stirring the pot from time to time. There are a lot of ways to do this, and someone’s social media output is definitely one of those ways. Not to mention, when you add a certain Holiday or celebration into the mix, the possibilities to get a reaction are truly endless.

Yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day. For those who may not know, it is a celebration that is meant to honor Irish pride. Overall, it is also a day where people do a whole lot of drinking. When it comes to O’Day, she decided to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with some unique antics on social media. In the video clip down below, you can see that she took a glass with a four-leaf clover on it, and put it between her butt cheeks. She subsequently twerks with the glass in there, and some people come over and pour alcohol into it. Needless to say, she appeared to be having a pretty great time.

Aubrey O’Day On The Gram

Unfortunately, for O’Day, not everyone was feeling these actions. In the comments section over at Hollywood Unlocked, the artist was getting clowned for the stunt. “She’s gonna be on the new season of Baddies, I guess she gotta make herself relevant,” one person wrote. “I think it’s okay to dance have fun twerk, but up close like this is no. This is too personal,” said another.

Let us know what you thought of these antics, in the comments section down below. Was she doing too much here, or is it passable?

Aubrey O’Day OnlyFans Promotion Using Martin Luther King Jr. Quotes Raises Eyebrows

by

Following Cassie’s bombshell lawsuit against Diddy this past fall, former Danity Kane member Aubrey O’Day had an awful lot to say about her time working with the music mogul. She primarily alleged that the sales her musical group made went straight into Sean Combs’ bank account, also noting that other victims were likely to come forward with harrowing stories of their own. The Bad Boy head and his legal team continue to deny any wrongdoing, meanwhile, O’Day is back to business as usual.

On Monday (January 16), the blonde singer’s Instagram feed lit up with a new post promoting her OnlyFans and paying tribute to the late Martin Luther King Jr. Combining her NSFW content sales with the memory of a civil rights activist is definitely raising eyebrows online. Social media hasn’t been afraid to put O’Day on blast. “‘Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter,’” she wrote in her upload’s caption, kicking things off with a series of sultry snapshots showcasing her curves in a beige fit.

Aubrey O’Day Celebrates MLK in an Unusual Way

“When I look at these pics, Martin Luther King’s moving speeches from 1964 are exactly what I think of,” one troll roasted the 39-year-old in her comments. “This is NOT it sis. Show some respect,” another user chimed in, putting O’Day in her place. The controversial starlet has yet to respond to the hate, though the video clips at the end of her post make it clear that she’s not phased by those with unflattering opinions about her OF.

While Aubrey O’Day seems to think that MLK Jr. would be in support of her salacious content selling, Boosie Badazz has some opinions of his own about the late civil rights activist. This past summer, the Louisana native asserted that King and Malcolm X would be “outcasts” in our modern society. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Diddy’s Former Artist Aubrey O’Day Showed Support For Cassie: ‘Been Trynna Tell Y’all For Years’

by

After it was reported earlier this week that “Me & U” singer Cassie had filed a lawsuit against producer and label owner Sean “Diddy” Combs alleging abuse and sexual assault, one of Diddy’s former Bad Boy artists has spoken up in support of her.

Aubrey O’Day, formerly of the girl group Danity Kane, posted on her Instagram Story, “Been trynna tell y’all for years. Prayers up for this queen.”

O’Day has gone on record several times about Diddy’s handling of the group and its formation on the show Making The Band, telling Vulture in 2019, “Puff is a very difficult person to work with. Everything had to be perfect. I remember times where he looked at my toenails and was like, ‘What is your third toenail doing? Go get that sh*t fixed before you walk into a room.’ Or we would be in rehearsals performing an hour-and-a-half set over and over and he would walk in for five minutes with a camera and say, ‘Aubrey, why are you sweating? You look like a wet dog. You’re the hot one, so do you think anyone wants to see that?’ … I experienced everything from race [remarks] to sexism and a lot of it was scary.”

Although O’Day expressed hope that the music mogul had grown from his time as her mentor, she also noted that the problems with sexism in the music industry go way beyond Diddy. More recently, she also said that Diddy’s recently relinquishing former artists’ publishing came with strings attached — namely, that those artists would have to sign NDAs promising to “never disparage Puff, Bad Boy, Janice Combs, Justin Combs Music, EMI, or Sony ever in public.”

Meanwhile, Diddy is currently under investigation by the NYPD, although it’s unclear whether it’s connected to the lawsuit.

Surviving Diddy: Cassie’s Abuse Allegations Against Diddy Are Latest In Flood of Shocking Accusations

by

Cassie Ventura, the singer and former girlfriend of business mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, has recently filed a $30 million lawsuit against him, accusing him of sexual and repeated physical abuse throughout their relationship. The explosive allegations made by Cassie have opened the floodgates for Diddy’s supposed downfall, on the heels of other prominent figures like Aubrey O’Day and Keefe D coming forward with their own damning claims. 

Surviving Diddy: Cassie Reveals Her Torture

In court documents, Cassie reveals horrifying details of the abuse she endured for years.  In court reports Cassie, whose legal name is Cassie Ventura, states,  “These beatings were witnessed by Mr. Combs’ staff and employees of Bad Boy Entertainment and Mr. Combs’s related businesses, but no one dared to speak up against their frightening and ferocious boss.”

Furthermore, the court files contain a shocking revelation of how Diddy threatened rapper Kid Cudi, who dated Cassie briefly in 2011.  Diddy told Ventura that he was going to blow up Kid Cudi’s car, and that “he wanted to ensure that Kid Cudi was home with his friends when it happened.” Around that time, Kid Cudi’s car allegedly exploded in his driveway.

Preceding other details in the court files, the R&B singer endured sexual abuse and physical abuse, where Combs often “punched, beat, kicked, and stomped,” on Cassie Ventura. Court documents state that Cassie is a victim of human trafficking, where she was forced to engage in sexual acts with male sex workers, while the encounters were filmed. The documents also reveal that she was introduced to a “lifestyle of excessive alcohol and substance abuse.”

Aubrey O’Day Tried To Warn Others 

Aubrey O’Day, a former member of Bad Boy Records girl group Danity Kane, attests to Diddy’s history of abuse.  In a 2019 interview with Variety Magazine, she stated “Puff is a very difficult person to work with,” O’Day says. “Everything had to be perfect. I remember times where he looked at my toenails and was like, ‘What is your third toenail doing? Go get that sh– fixed before you walk into a room.’ Or we would be in rehearsals performing an hour-and-a-half set over and over and he would walk in for five minutes with a camera and say, ‘Aubrey, why are you sweating? You look like a wet dog.’”

O’Day continued, “We were scared to death with what would happen with Puff each day,” she continues. “There was just no room for error. I experienced everything from race [remarks] to sexism and a lot of it was scary.”

In early August, O’Day explained that Diddy relinquished her publishing rights back, and that she was sent an NDA by the mogul, insisting her to never speak poorly of Bad Boy. 

Following the news of Diddy and Cassie breaking, Aubrey O’Day took to her Instagram story writing, “Been trynna tell ya’ll for years. Prayers up for this Queen @cassie.” She continued, “One day ya’ll are gonna put some respect on my name when I tell you things. Thank you!”  Another former Danity Kane member, Dawn Richard, encouraged Cassie for coming forward on social media.  She wrote, “praying for Cassie and her family, for peace, and healing. You are beautiful and brave.”

Keefe D Implicates Diddy In Tupac Murder

Keefe D, the alleged accomplice in the murder of Tupac Shakur, has made a confession implicating Diddy in the crime. According to Keefe D, Diddy hired them to carry out the hit on Tupac and Suge Knight, where he stated in the confession, “He’d [Diddy] give us anything for them dudes heads.”

Abuse Allegations In Hollywood

The Cassie vs Diddy allegations are the latest in recent revelations of abuse in the entertainment industry.  Keke Palmer revealed the physical abuse she endured in a two-year relationship with her ex-boyfriend, while Azealia Banks exposes producer Diplo‘s troubling history with young women, including herself.

Fans of O’Day’s mostly agreed with the opinion. One user replied: “The industry did itself such a disservice when it allowed streaming and TikTok to affect the charts.

Aubrey O’Day Net Worth 2023: What Is The Danity Kane Singer Worth?

by

Aubrey O’Day stepped into the limelight courtesy of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ reality TV spectacle, Making the Band 3. But her roots dig deep into the performing arts. Her childhood interest in the theater and her undergraduate years in musical theatre at the University of California, Irvine nurtured them. Her transformation from an aspiring performer to a pop sensation is one for the textbooks. When Danity Kane splashed onto the music scene, O’Day was already a seasoned performer. She’s a master of many disciplines within the entertainment world—actress, songwriter, and reality TV star—and it’s this multiplicity that has fattened her bank account to a reported $5 million in 2023, according to CAknowledge.

Additionally, O’Day’s inclusion in Danity Kane was pivotal, propelling her into stardom with the group’s eponymous debut album in 2006. Hit singles like “Show Stopper” and “Damaged” climbed the charts, cementing the band—and O’Day’s—status. She carried this momentum into her solo endeavors, releasing EPs that flaunted her vocal talents and sass. Not content to be confined to a recording studio, she capitalized on her growing celebrity by participating in reality TV shows like Celebrity Apprentice and Ex on the Beach. This added layers to her public persona and fortified her financial standing, making her a household name beyond just music circles.

The Tapestry Of Tabloid Attention: Aubrey O’Day’s Personal Life

Her career has been a whirlwind of musical notes and TV appearances. Her personal life has been equally splendid in its own tabloid-worthy way. Whether it’s her high-profile relationships or public spats with fellow celebrities, O’Day has never avoided controversy. It’s almost as if the headlines work in her favor. They amplify her brand and make her a constant topic of conversation. This real-world soap opera, willingly or not, becomes an additional layer of her marketability, lending her a complex, relatable human narrative.

Aubrey O’Day is no stranger to brand diversification. From launching her own line of fragrances to dabbling in fashion, her business ventures have been calculated, strategic, and, most importantly, fruitful. Her financial savvy, perhaps nurtured by her stints on business-centric reality shows, gives her a leg up in maintaining multiple income streams. She’s not merely lending her name to products. She’s intimately involved in the conceptualization and marketing, making these ventures successful appendices to her entertainment career.

In dissecting the melodrama and the music, the Aubrey O’Day story paints the picture of a woman determined to leave an indelible mark on the entertainment industry. Her multi-faceted career, far from being a medley of disjointed acts, forms a cohesive, compelling narrative. While far from over, it’s a narrative that has already penned some impressive financial chapters. And that is no small feat in an industry known for its harsh volatility.

Diddy Accused Of Stealing Songs From Danity Kane & Giving Them To Bigger Artists

by

Aubrey O’Day’s experiences with Diddy have undoubtedly ruffled her feathers. Over the years, she’s made a few claims against the Bad Boy founder surrounding Danity Kane’s deal with the label. Most recently, she alleged that Diddy stole records from the group for his album, Press Play. She hopped on Twitter this week when she responded to a fan that asked her if there were “any songs that you or DK recorded that ultimately went to another artist.”

O’Day revealed that Diddy took a few of their records and repurposed them for his 2006 album. “Diddy took 3 songs from us and put them on his album,” she revealed. “His song with Christina [Aguilera]. His song with Nicole [Scherzinger] from [Pussycat Dolls], it’s still d woods voice saying it’s bad boy bitch in the beginning & after love w Keri Hilson. All of those we recorded.” “Come To Me” ft. Scherzinger cracked the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 while the Christina Aguilera-assisted “Tell Me” peaked at #47.

Aubrey O’Day Vs. Diddy 

This is far from the first time O’Day’s publicly aired out her issues with Diddy in recent years. In 2019, Diddy hinted at plans to revive his hit series, Making The Band – the show where Danity Kane formed. However, O’Day called out the Bad Boy CEO after allegedly neglecting Danity Kane. “You had making the band because of US! Dare you to bring the true STARS back and show you can FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED,” she commented under Diddy’s post. 

In addition to this, O’Day put Diddy on blast for his supposed relationship with Donald Trump prior to his time in office. The former Danity Kane singer, who dated Donald Trump Jr., said the former president used to brag about his relationship with Diddy when she was in his office. It came at a time when Diddy was calling out Trump ahead of the 2020 presidential election. “Diddy has mismanaged artists & stolen their money his whole career (including Danity Kane), and now he is showing up with 18 days left before the election to get Trump out of office,” O’Day tweeted. “When I was on Apprentice, Trump used to tell me DAILY how him and puff are good friends!”
