Aubrey O’Day has shed light on a concerning matter involving Sean “Diddy” Combs, alleging that he attempted to buy her silence by offering publishing rights to Bad Boy Records. The revelations come amidst a turbulent period for Diddy, who faces legal battles and federal investigations.
In a sneak peek from the documentary TMZ Presents: The Downfall of Diddy, O’Day revealed that she received a publishing deal from Diddy, expecting financial compensation. However, upon reviewing the contract, she discovered that it demanded she relinquish her rights to her story and experiences, effectively silencing her from speaking negatively about individuals associated with Bad Boy Records. O’Day expressed concern over the ominous implications of these terms.
Contrary to O’Day’s claims, a source close to Diddy refuted the allegation that all artists signed non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) as part of the publishing deal. The insider clarified that while Diddy reassigned his portion of the publishing to Bad Boy artists, not all artists signed NDAs.
The documentary, The Downfall of Diddy, delves into the aftermath of raids on Diddy’s homes and the ensuing federal investigation. In interviews featured in the documentary, O’Day discusses her experience with Bad Boy Records and Diddy’s alleged attempts to muzzle artists from speaking about their time with the label.
O’Day’s refusal of Diddy’s offer for publishing rights stems from her financial independence and successful ventures outside of the music industry. She emphasizes the importance of speaking out, particularly in light of allegations against Diddy by others, including Cassie.
As the documentary unfolds, O’Day’s revelations promise to provide insight into a complex and controversial chapter in the music industry. TMZ Presents: The Downfall of Diddy streams on Tubi, offering viewers a closer look at the events surrounding Diddy’s tumultuous journey.
