Da Band’s Freddy P Claims Diddy Threatened His Life, Leading To His Departure From Group
Freddy P., formerly of Making The Band‘s Da Band, claims he left the group after Diddy threatened his life.
On Friday (April 19), the 43-year-old appeared on The Art of Dialogue and discussed the day that things went too far.
“One day, I was waking up and I was in a mood,” Freddy began. “I’m in the studio, I’m snapping or whatever. I didn’t even want to be f**ked with. You know when you around a bunch of goofies and you a street n***a, sometimes you don’t want to be around the nerds. So I’m in that b***h – I’m just frustrated with a lot of s**t going on.”
He revealed that he and Diddy got into a “situation.” Freddy shared, “We in front of everybody, n***a like, ‘Man, what you think you bout it or something?’ He was like, ‘N***a, I’ll buy every house on your block, shut every light off in that b***h and every time you come out that b***h, you’ll get popped.’ When he tell you some s**t like that, you go to picture him purchasing every house, you going to picture every light going off and that s**t silenced me.”
The incident led to Freddy’s departure from Da Band and thoughts of him offing Diddy.
“I was trying to take his a** out,” explained the Miami native. “Me and my dawg — God rest his soul — we had a G Wagon, and he had his little two twos, I had a little pistol on me or whatever. I had the MAC or whatever, and we were waiting for his p***y-a** to come out.”
This isn’t the first instance of Freddy speaking out against his former boss. Back in 2022, he revealed that Diddy was the cause of his suicidal ideations.
“Like this n***a Puffy is the main muthaf**kin’ reason why I hate f**king life, dawg. People don’t even understand. Like, I don’t even give a f**k. I’ve never been to a point where I thought of suicide my whole life, never. I mean, I’m a gangsta,” Freddy expressed on Instagram.
He continued, “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***a that’s out there right now and the world knows it.”
Making The Band ran from 2000 until 2009 and under Diddy’s reign, he founded Da Band, Danity Kane, Day26, and Donnie Klang. The first group that stemmed from the series was O-Town under the guidance of Lou Pearlman.
