Diddy Secures Dirty Money Reunion, The Weeknd’s “Last Collab” For Upcoming ‘The Love Album’

Diddy is returning to his R&B roots with his highly anticipated new album, The Love Album: Off The Grid, and is bringing along a slew of heavy-hitters, including a long-awaited Dirty Money reunion.

Dirty Money —comprised of Dawn Richard and Kalenna— and Diddy split ways in 2012. When speaking on the group, Richard told Billboard around that time, “What we did with Dirty Money was phenomenal. Yet, it was misunderstood. Something that was simplistic and manufactured was successful [while] something that was brilliant and iconic, [people] didn’t get it.”

Later when asked about the Diddy-Dirty Money breakup, the former Danity Kane member revealed, “It died out. I think Puff was tired. He had so many different things going on. I think he wanted to produce and act a little bit more. Sometimes you don’t have a choice. If we would have wanted to continue, and he couldn’t do it, then there’d be no sense in it. It’s his project so you just have to take it.”

On Wednesday (Aug. 30), the Combs Global mogul revealed that the LP will include The Weeknd’s “last collab of his career” in a track titled “Another One Of Me” with French Montana and 21 Savage.

The rest of the 23-track album’s star-studded lineup includes collaborations from Mary J. Blige, H.E.R., Jazmine Sullivan, Justin Bieber, Summer Walker, Babyface, John Legend, Teyana Taylor, Coco Jones, Kehlani, Ty Dolla $ign, K-Ci Hailey, Burna Boy, The-Dream, his LOVE RECORDS signee Jozzy, and more.

The Love Album: Off the Grid is the Bad Boy Records founder’s sixth studio album, and his first in over a decade following 2010’s Last Train To Paris.

“Music is my first love and music has given me a second chance at life, so stepping back into the studio to make this album has been a soulful experience that brought me closer to myself and my purpose,” Diddy expressed in a statement. ”This album wasn’t created to feed an algorithm or be relevant with the trends of the times, it was created to touch souls and freely express my story with the best artists, writers and producers shaping the future of R&B.”

The father of six also shared that it represents “a journey of retreating from the world with a partner, shutting out distractions, all communications, and immersing oneself in love—no phones allowed.”

The Love Album: Off the Grid is slated for release on Sept. 15, formally known as Diddy Day. See the full track list below.
