It’s funny and sad at the same time that Danity Kane could not even stay around for a good three years solid without drama taken a step in. Dawn Richards had a chat with essence magazine to tell her side of the story and what basically is going on, well kind of. If you’re just catching up, on the MTB4 season finale, Diddy kicked out both Aubrey, and D.Woods out of the five girl group leaving only three of them to decide the faith of the group. Basically ladies and gents what it comes down is that Diddy was trying to make Dawn a solo star and Aubrey became jealous and started hating on the girl and Bam! Now this ish still could be a big publicity stunt knowing the kind of tricks Puff has pulled in the past, but I guess only time will tell in this situation.
On Diddy making her a solo act:
Everyone should ask Puff if that’s what he has in line for me. If he does, then I’m honored and I will work hard as I’ve always done. What I know for certain is that he would never break up Danity Kane. I’ve always been on that same train, too. At the end of the day, I’m going to rock with the first priority, which is Danity Kane. Who knows what can happen, because Puff changes his mind every five seconds. I’m going to work hard. I’m going to be the same person I was in the beginning. What’s honest and true is that I respect people. I respect and love the group. I wish it could still be five of us. I didn’t make Aubrey leave. I didn’t make D. Woods not show up. People choose their paths and you do what’s best for your situation. This is your job and you do the best you can do. All we’re trying to do is survive.
On other member *cough,Aubrey* jealous ways towards her:
I will never say anyone is jealous of me, because that’s not the type of person I am. I just never see it like that. You work hard, people respect you or you don’t. Growing up in my household, nothing was ever easy, especially as an African-American woman. You can be perceived as a b—-. When I work so hard, some people say all these mean things when you’re trying to be righteous and it’s so hurtful. I’m human, so in the beginning of my career when I read those things, they were the worst and meanest things. I couldn’t conceive why my own people wouldn’t be more positive and support me, so I couldn’t help but be hurt and think, Why don’t you have my back? I’m doing something positive? I’m not a hater. You don’t even have to like me. I’m going to respect everyone. Now I don’t let the negative talk affect me; I just do me, because no one is perfect and you can’t live for everyone else.
