Aubrey O’Day’s experiences with Diddy have undoubtedly ruffled her feathers. Over the years, she’s made a few claims against the Bad Boy founder surrounding Danity Kane’s deal with the label. Most recently, she alleged that Diddy stole records from the group for his album, Press Play. She hopped on Twitter this week when she responded to a fan that asked her if there were “any songs that you or DK recorded that ultimately went to another artist.”

O’Day revealed that Diddy took a few of their records and repurposed them for his 2006 album. “Diddy took 3 songs from us and put them on his album,” she revealed. “His song with Christina [Aguilera]. His song with Nicole [Scherzinger] from [Pussycat Dolls], it’s still d woods voice saying it’s bad boy bitch in the beginning & after love w Keri Hilson. All of those we recorded.” “Come To Me” ft. Scherzinger cracked the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 while the Christina Aguilera-assisted “Tell Me” peaked at #47.

Aubrey O’Day Vs. Diddy 

This is far from the first time O’Day’s publicly aired out her issues with Diddy in recent years. In 2019, Diddy hinted at plans to revive his hit series, Making The Band – the show where Danity Kane formed. However, O’Day called out the Bad Boy CEO after allegedly neglecting Danity Kane. “You had making the band because of US! Dare you to bring the true STARS back and show you can FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED,” she commented under Diddy’s post. 

In addition to this, O’Day put Diddy on blast for his supposed relationship with Donald Trump prior to his time in office. The former Danity Kane singer, who dated Donald Trump Jr., said the former president used to brag about his relationship with Diddy when she was in his office. It came at a time when Diddy was calling out Trump ahead of the 2020 presidential election. “Diddy has mismanaged artists & stolen their money his whole career (including Danity Kane), and now he is showing up with 18 days left before the election to get Trump out of office,” O’Day tweeted. “When I was on Apprentice, Trump used to tell me DAILY how him and puff are good friends!”
