Diddy was under fire last week after an old clip of MTV’s Making The Band started making the rounds online. After being accused of “running a musical prison camp,” a few former contestants on the show have come forward with their own personal experiences. Freddy P, who was a member of Da Band, confessed Diddy is one of the main reasons he “hates life,” while Willie Taylor said Making The Band was set up for artists to “fail.”
Now, Babs Bunny — who appeared on Making The Band 2 and has since erected the first female battle rap league called Queen of the Ring — is weighing in during a recent interview with MReckTV.
“A lot of the stuff I can agree with him, but I might say I can’t really relate,” she says around the 3:50-minute mark. “We all went through the same process. We all had the same contracts. We all was in the same house. We all was on the same stage. And so at the end of the day, we all had that same situation happen as far as when it comes down to business.”
When asked what she thought about Freddy’s comments, she replies, “I was just like, ‘Wow.’ He said that the contracts were shitty, and they were. I definitely agree. All of us can really relate to that as far as the paperwork is concerned. I would not say it was my worst nightmare. It was dreams coming true with nightmares in and out. For me, that was my experience. I was a sponge. Not matter all the negative things, I just tried to focus on all the positive things that I learned, which allowed me to keep pushing.”
But Freddy P and Willie Taylor were much more direct when it came to discussing their experiences with Diddy and Making The Band.
“MAKING THE BAND WAS AN EXPERIENCE FOR SURE,” Taylor shared in an Instagram post. “BUT THE PLATFORM AND CONTRACTS WERE ALL SET UP FOR THE FAILURE OF HUNGRY TALENTS.” He added in the caption, “Learning experience. You gotta understand that people will do to you whatever you allow them, so don’t let your passion drive you to the wrong destination. #MTB4 Day 26/Danity Kane are talented groups but the situation in which we met was designed to to fail.”
As for Freddy P, his issues with the show appeared to run way deeper. In fact, he admitted he’s considered suicide numerous times since leaving the show.
“This year alone I’ve contemplated suicide three or four times,” he said in an Instagram video. “I done pictured my brother walking in and finding me dead. I cried a few times thinking about leaving my son because I just get tired of life. But no matter what you gotta do you just gotta keep at it … there’s n-ggas that wanna see you fall.”

He continued, “Like this n-gga Puffy is the main muthafuckin’ reason why I hate fucking life, dawg. People don’t even understand. Like, I don’t even give a fuck. I’ve never been to a point where I thought of suicide my whole life, never. I mean, I’m a gangsta.”
“I don’t even know how I started thinking like that. I done had it all and I fell to the bottom. How do you come back from that when you battling a giant? It ain’t got nothing to do with your skill no more ’cause your skill is 90 percent better than any n-gga that’s out there right now and the world knows it.”
Making The Band ran for three seasons from 2000-2002. The show produced the groups O-Town, Da Band, Danity Kane, Day26 and Donnie Klang.
It’s rough for these people because the show made them famous for wanting to be famous. Generally when they cast these shows they are looking for maximum drama with unstable people. there may have only been one or two artiste on that show Diddy was legit interested in, the rest were cast for TV purposes. some of these people still can’t accept it.
Diddy was only interested in the show for the money so he spend more money on male prostitutes and butt plugs. Another True Fact, Remember when his credit card was stolen and the purchase list information was leaked on the internet lol.
so strange that a 50 year old man is so interested in “exposing” another grown individual. honestly i’d be concerned if you posted this about NBA youngboy but the fact you are so obsessed with diddy is jokes. diddy is past 50 now. has several kids. you really think anyone cares about your dumb obsessions in 2022?
Is somebody butthurt that their idol is being made fun of. I’m sorry for telling the truth. Everyone in the industry knows he’s a fruitcake. Even his former bodyguard who worked the closest with Diddy as head of his Security Team, Gene Deal. Look up the Fabulous Incident, Look up the Christopher Williams incident, Look up Xzibit’s experience with Diddy at a nightclub. There’s countless other examples out there but the point is pretty much most the industry knows but because he has so much leverage in the music industry, they keep their mouth shut. He’s loves power. And dumbass, there’s plenty of people who have kids with women but are gay it’s called living a double life. Closeted gay men have been doing that for years. 50 Cent might have made jokes about Diddy but he’s wasn’t lying about him being effeminate. The only reason you’re probably upset is cuz you’re probably gay yourself and don’t like the fact that so many people are outting your idol but we’re not since it’s been out there forever. We’re just stating the obvious abd explaining how Diddy’s mind works.
you’re a disturbed individual i’d be careful typing these things. there’s lot of gays in the music industry lots of gays in rap. some are open about their lifestyle others arent. no one over 25 cares much either way. why is this your concern?
You’re a wuss, why do you care about Diddy in the first place. I don’t care about the gay stuff but he’s a horrible person and you’re upset about another man making fun of him. That’s lame,dude.
so strange there’s all of these people in your head who hate diddy
You’ve got issues, bro. Seek mental help cuz I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about. I pray you the help you need tho.
LMAO!! SuS alert! You shouldn’t be this angry over some comments about Sean Combs. I respect what he’s done for the culture somewhat but even I know he’s a well known asshole and he’s heartless when it comes to dealing with artist. Most things that are said about him in the industry unfortunately are found to be true 90 percent of the time.
Is Diddy paying you to do this? Are you sleeping with him? If not then you shouldn’t invest so much time caring about what other people say about him on a website that’s known for having trolls in the first place. That’s where you went wrong. Just let it go, it’s not worth it. Stop feeding the trolls.
My question is why should I care?That was ages ago and y’all took the money and allowed him to do that to y’all. You know what that makes you, a prostitute.
Not prostitute. ???
Prostitute Lol that’s funny.
Boy that shit was 20 years ago
Go get some cheese cake little ni99a
You won’t say it to his face
