Puff Daddy is strolling down memory lane, bringing back 90’s and 2000’s R&B and Hip Hop favorites on his nationwide Bad Boy Reunion Tour, which began as performance at the 2015 BET Awards, then evolved to a two-night concert at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center that sold out in seven minutes and a nationwide tour. However, not everyone is happy with the tour roster.
Remember MTV’s “Making The Band?” Brian Angel, one-fifth of successful 2000’s R&B group Day 26, took to his Twitter on Monday evening (May 16) and Tuesday (May 17), sounding off about why he and his band mates weren’t included in the lineup of fellow Bad Boy alums:
“With all due respect I’m tryna figure out @iamdiddy how can you have a BAD BOY reunion and me and Bros @Day26 aren’t apart of it bro?”
“My passion for music & our fans puts me in some crazy situations at times. But I gotta speak up @iamdiddy @officialDay26 @day26 wanna know. I’m not the one to sit & let this opportunity pass & say nothing @imdiddy I just wanna know bro. Please let me know if I’m out of line for asking again but why is it that @Day26Official no on the Bad Boy tour @iamdiddy our fans wanna kno.”
Over the course of Making the Band which spanned four seasons, the competition/reality show put together three groups by Diddy, including Da Band, platinum girl group Danity Kane, and Day 26, ; the latter’s self-titled debut album charted at #1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. None of those groups are included on the reunion tour, which kicks off at the Barclays Center Friday, May 20 and May 21. The tour will continue later this summer in Columbus, Ohio on August 25.
Faith Evans, Lil’ Kim, 112, Total, French Montana, Carl Thomas, The Lox, Mario Winans and Ma$e are included on the tour.
