What Happened To Diddy's Boy Group 'B5'? - HP News

www.comedyhype... - P. Diddy's Bad Boy Records has been known for finding talented artist and in the early 2000's they would bring on boy group and brothers 'B5'. The boy group would quickly gain notoriety but before fans could help them fully take off, they disappeared. Here's what happened. Instagram: @ComedyHype & Twitter: @ComedyHype_

[@TheAlkebulanTrust]

Same thing that happens to every group that signed to Bad Boy Entertainment. They realise the game isn't for them as they are getting played so they disband or rebrand.

[@adon31997]

The best remake of "All I Do" is by the group TROOP.💯 The entertainment industry is beast within it self. This is why Michael Bivins of the legendary group New Edition learned the business from the inside out.💪🏿✊🏿👑

[@MBKSJC2]

As one of the Michael Bivins'. I agree.

[@cosmicbeauty5682]

THANK YOU! Troop did amazing with that record

[@BrittanyH87]

I LOVED B5 when I was in middle school. I used to get Word Up and Right On magazines just for their posters😊❤️

[@kennethiavail1719]

Word Up! Omg yes! I remember going to CVS just to buy the magazine for Omarion and Lloyd posters

[@ImJue]

The good ol days!

[@cosmicbeauty5682]

Lol that's how it was for me with b2k. Every week I was at Rite Aid buying word up and right on magazines just for the posters

Such a pitty to deal with Diddy😞

[@divinereflections5657]

The same thing that happened to his other artists 💯...they was used, robbed and discarded like Diddys Narcissistic behavior does🎯

[@iamlegend4064]

I met these boys when they did a performance at the UniverSoul circus when I was in middle school. That was the late 90s. I thought them boys would take off. But no one knew Puff was gon do em like that.

The Greateat Boy Band of All Time however is The Jackson 5. Every boy band actually is a branch off them. Even New Edition. It is evident with their first song. It is only during the 90s you could hear the difference. So the fact that B5 did a cover version of a Jackson 5 song. Says it all.

[@ethershakur4768]

Exactly

[@cocojames4486]

Sorry but YAH NEEDA PUT SOME RESPECKKKK ON FRANKY LYMON AND HIS GROUP 💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@MIGGYME1]

B5 was a lil too late. When they came on the scene the boy band trend was on a downward spiral and when they dropped they had to compete with b2k which looked more mature than b5 so most girls was gone flock to b2k

[@ronim924]

Yea I loved B2K never really paid attention to B5

[@aliciamack9323]

That's true I remember when b2k came out when I was in high school i know this girl erika she love them

[@tab7madeup]

B5 could gain their own success even if they were just a boy band. Like Backstreet Boys, they still had a great hits in 2000s and gained their sales. We know B2K sold more and got a spotlight. Also, having huge advantaged in singing and smooth dancing. The music competition was tight but that's not meant that B5 didn't deserved the attention and exposure in the shuffle. It's all about how the records label treat and promote their artist.

Being in La for WEEKS getting death threats because of pac was a red flag to go. Then on the night of the shooting he rides in a separate car? Seems like diddy knew not to be at his side. Biggie shouldn’t have went to L.A. at all.

[@Kelly_Silverman]

I'm not trying to be funny... I'm really not; but when they played the race card at the 9:48 mark... I can't take that seriously 🤦🏾‍♀️ They were on BLACK labels... Diddy and Motown to be exact. If there was a demand for their music and a way to continually capitalize off B5; it would've been done. They weren't black balled... They didn't sell MILLIONS of records and got robbed like TLC... Race has nothing to do with it. They just weren't as hot as they'd hoped 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@iambounceback]

Thank you! I'm tired of people automatically saying "oh they were signed to bad boy so they were doomed from the start". People forget how hard it was to even be signed back in the day. If your budget was big enough, you got a video and radio spins. If your song was not hot it was over with because it cost a ton just to get a video and to be worked in radio. Diddy just like any other label is looking for you to make a hit. If they give you a chance and you can't do it......well its a wrap!

People need to understand that the music labels are a business & the group/artists are “investments” so if the record label isn’t making a return off of their investments then they drop you ! These record labels spend tons of money on potential talent just to not get the money back in return they were hoping for!

[@jarellbrown6974]

That's how I look at the situation and i don't think its all puffs fault either and to be really honest about it half of these artist don't read their contracts before signing it and that's where the problem is til this day in the industry and they need a lawyer before they sign any documentation.

[@PlatPodMediaCEOSean]

@@jarellbrown6974 a lot of these people were around while Prince was alive and around. He changed his artist name and still made music. Why can’t the former Bad Boy artists do the same?

[@jarellbrown6974]

@@PlatPodMediaCEOSean that's a damn good question and i think the reason why bad boy artist can't blossom like other artist is because some of them is use to being spoon fed and scare to put that work in by their self like Diddy has done with his artist.

At least the group like B2K gained their fame (in a short time in early 2000s) and got some award before broke up even how messy their situation was. B5 on the other hand had never got a spotlight they deserved and considering they signed with Bad Boy, now I see why they went no where

[@iheardmyhappinessgotyoumad3571]

At some point this must stop. The non compensation of Artist has been happening for far to long. I would suggest to any new Artist do your homework before you enter the entertainment business. There are so many stories out of the good the bad and the ugly and the ones who actually get what is owed to them ( Stevie Wonder). Few Artist are lucky to get there Masters either in the beginning or at some point later down the rode. Recently this was the case of None other than Ms. Anita Baker.
