D. Woods, a founding member of the chart-topping girl group Danity Kane, has officially broken her silence after 20 years of being silent about her time under the leadership of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.
In a new exclusive interview, D. Woods addressed her experience during the height of Danity Kane’s success, and the toxic environment she says was present behind the scenes. “We were never protected,” she stated bluntly, referring to the treatment and oversight the group received while signed to Bad Boy Records under Diddy’s guidance.
The singer discussed contract disputes, lack of creative control, and what she described as emotional manipulation that left members feeling voiceless despite their commercial success. She emphasized how the industry often silences women, especially Black women, who try to speak out against mistreatment or mismanagement.
This comes at a time when Diddy is facing multiple legal challenges and public scrutiny over his past business practices. D. Woods’ revelation adds another layer to the growing chorus of former Bad Boy artists who have spoken up about their strained experiences.
Her decision to speak now, she says, is about reclaiming power and setting the record straight—not just for herself, but for every artist who has ever felt exploited in the music industry.
