Diddy Posts “Hustle Harder” Message Amid “Making The Band” Backlash

After Day 26’s Willie Taylor and Da Band’s Freddy P spoke out against the show they once starred in, Mr. Combs surfaced with a message.
Over the last week, Sean “Diddy” Combs has been feeling the heat. There have been plenty of accusations thrown at him throughout his career from artists formerly signed to Bad Boy Records, but in recent days, his Making The Band takeover in the early 2000s has been grabbing attention. Social media users brought back clips of the hit MTV competition series that found Puffy looking for the next big talent. While there have been artists who have become stars because of the exposure and opportunity, people dragged Diddy’s name through the mud over his methods.

We previously reported on Day 26 singer Willie Taylor stating that Making The Band took advantage of young talent and later, Da Band’s Freddy P shared an emotional video. In it, he blamed Diddy for being the cause of why he “hates f*ckin life.”

Freddy P said: “People don’t understand what I’ve been through. This year alone I’ve contemplated suicide two or three times… I done pictured my brother walking in, finding me dead. I cry thinking about leaving my son, because it just gets tired of life. It’s like, no matter what you try to do, you just gotta keep battling. Nggas wanna see you fall… It’s these nggas like Puffy, he my main motherfckin’ reason why I really hate fckin’ life, dog. People don’t even understand.”

After going viral, Freddy P has continued to share his side of the story as he verbally eviscerates Diddy in the process, and many believe that the Bad Boy icon has indirectly responded to the controversy.

“Stop all your crying, btching & moaning,” Diddy wrote in a message posted to his Instagram Story. “Hustle Harder or get the fck out of our way. -Love.” The post has ignited a new wave of reactions. Check it out below.
