Day26 Parts Ways With Diddy's Bad Boy Records
Published 11/24/2009, by Allen Starbury

Day26After becoming stars via Diddy's reality TV series "Making The Band," Day26's run at Bad Boy Records has come to an end.

The group has left the label, according to a report from TheBoomBox.com, but say they are still a part of Diddy's extended family.

"Bad Boy is always our family, but we're with Atlantic right now," member Willie Taylor told the site.

Although they became stars on reality television, Day26 are now determined to prove that they have what it takes to make it on pure talent, rather than TV ratings.

"We really want to get people focused on the artistry, on the music," Taylor explained. "I think a lot of people lost it with the entertainment of the show. So now, we really want to show people what we're all about, that we do our thing whether its on stage, in the studio, writing and producing -- we do it all."

Day26 are currently in the studio working on their third group album.

Diddy had previously locked down a distribution deal with Atlantic Records for Bad Boy, but just months ago, he opted to sign with Interscope Records where he'll be releasing his next album, Last Train to Paris, with his new group Dirty Money comprised of himself, former Danity Kane member Dawn Richard and newcomer Kaleena.

not shocking.

It’s about time! Bad Boy is not the label it used to be. The only CDs that gets decent promotion are CD by or involving Diddy. Good move for Day26!

I think it’s da best move for them than to be in prison on bad boy.They want to create they own sound then to be control& tell them when,what,where what to do on mtv.Day 26 wants to be artists then to be on MTB,So I’ll hope it’ll work out for the group on Atlantic Records

Good for them, any artist that can get away from Combs is very lucky. They might make some money, now.

Day 26 don’t listen to all the negative comments on this blog. First all I know you guys are still cool with Diddy and he is afilated with Atlantic recors anyway. Like you guys said you’ll always be Bad Boys and you all are so good ..who cares where you go. I don’t buy your music because of who you sign with; I buy your music because your the best. People are hatin on Diddy….Diddy you are a Bad Boy 4 real. Keep doing you- jealous people wish they were you.
