Dawn Richard Leaves Bad Boy?

Dawn Richard, formerly of Diddy Dirty Money, has announced that she is doing her own thing. The singer has parted ways with Diddy's Bad Boy label, and says that the split has been amicable thus far. Knowing the label's history, that's sort of an anomaly.

"“Puff has been really great with being supportive of me starting a solo career, and he’s agreed to let me go from Bad Boy," she says. "I’m really grateful to him. He didn’t have to do that. He could have been what they say that he would be, and he wasn’t at all. He gave me a business decision. It was a very amicable decision. Now, it’s just about the music, and I want to make him and them proud of believing in me enough to let me go try it.”

Good luck to her.
