Dirty Money "Angel" and "Love Come Down"

Dirty Money consists of Diddy, Dawn Richard formerly of Danity Kane, and a singer named Kaleena. In this group Diddy reminds of the old Diddy back in the day. I respect and love Diddy because he takes risk and at the end of the day it either does well or not, but Diddy is still gonna be Diddy, one of the most successful businessmen of his time.



Diddy speaks on the new Dirty Money movement in the lastest issue of Ebony:

On Dirty Money…

The album spins pop cultrue forward, including the look of the newly introduced trio Dirty Money: Diddy, Dawn Richard from the now-defunct group Danity Kane and songwriter Kalenna Harper. The girls sport short, funky hair instead of long weaves. Their modern look is part of Diddy’s strategic reinvention process.

“I, I,, I, think the longer you’re in this game, the less urgent your presence is if you don’t know how to reinvent yourself,” says Diddy, stutters slightly. “For me, it’s important to make sure that I gave what I never gave before. The consumer always wants something new and fresh. So you have to give ‘em a new fresh you.”

In the issue Heavy D also compared Diddy to PT Barnum. Diddy is the ringmaster of some sort and always seems to be the last man standing.



Diddy will also be releasing the album "Last Train to Paris" dropping soon!
