WTF HAPPENED TO B5??
- Article wrote by Gabriel of Stuff Fly People Like

According to Gyant Unplugged, Devyne Stephens is what happened to the boy band formerly signed to Bad Boy. The way the story goes; Diddy grew bored with the “Jackson-inspired” group and sold them off to Devyne’s Upfront Management. They are now calling themselves “Audio” and have taken on an identity inspired by The Debarges…

YOU ARE NOT READY….

Check it out after the jump…

*DEAD*

See, this is the type of coonery that makes me mad. Is it not obvious that they look completely stupid?! And you can’t blame them. They are very young and are being forced to move around as robots.

I see Devyne has passed over his foundation (make-up) and his over-all style…

It’s not so much the clothes but it’s the dam hair that gets me. The clothes just add a Baby Dracula effect.

Devyne is responsible for numerous careers of artists in the industry to date. I respect his work and what he’s done. But I think he went a little too far with this one. We have not seen B5 in years, and to jump out the gate looking like an El Debarge mishap is way too far for a single eye to handle.

I am not even laughing right now. This is F*@king sad!!

Diddy has quoted in past times:

“People say if you sign with Puff, you won’t be successful. They try to break it down by asking where past artists from Bad Boy are. If you look at who was on Def Jam seven years ago, those aren’t the same people who are on Def Jam now. Same for Sony and Universal. It’s the life expectancy of somebody on a label, that’s what it is. Also, I’ve protected a lot of artists who’ve had drug problems or have been arrested. I’m a label, not a babysitter.” – Diddy

**Blank Stare**
Ok, I agree with the first sentence of Puff’s statement. I believe the same thing holds true for Jay…and I love me some J but they have their own careers, which are larger than life, and have no time to properly groom or fine tune their artists. Jay I can’t forgive you for Christion.
As for this cookie cutter mentality in the music industry I wish they would stop already- I will always support my indie artists for this reason.
Peace, Love and Happy New Year to all!!!!

DIDDY IS SUCH AN ASSHOLE >:-( SO WHAT HE GOT SICK OF THEY’RE JACKSON 5 ROUTINE. THAT WAS NOT A REASON TO CUT THEM OFF OF BAD BOY LIKE THAT….WORD UP! COME TO THINK ABOUT IT…. IF IT WASN’T FOR THE JACKSON 5 THERE WOULDN’T BE ANY B5. (NOT BECAUSE OF DIDDY) BECAUSE OF THE JACKSON 5. SO THIS IS WAHT I HAVE TO SAY TO B5: BOYS JUST KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND BE YOURSELF LIKE YOU NORMALLY WOULD, AND DON’T WORRY ABOUT DIDDY AND WHAT HE THINKS. LET HIM BE THE ASS LIKE HE WAS WHEN AND BEFORE HE MET YOU GUYS.!
LOVE,
DEJAH HOWARD (THE REALEST B5 FAN EVER)

THIS GOES TO DIDDY: DIDDY!, YOU FUCKER, I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU WOULD DO SUCH A THING LIKE THAT TO B5. YOU CUTTING THEM OFF OF THE RECORD LABEL BECAUSE THEY ARE INFLUENCED BY THE JACKSON 5 AND WANT TO HAVE A STYLE LIKE THEIRS BUT DIFFERENT. YOU ARE SUCH A BAD INFLUENCE ON EVERYBODY…THE WORST INFLUENCE. BUT REMEMBER THIS, ONLY IGNORANT PPL LIKE YOU CAN MAKE A CHANGE AND STOP BEING SO DAMN SELFISH BECAUSE OF A BIG INFLUENCE ON B5. DUECES!
SINCERELY,
THE REALEST B5 FAN IN LIFE
