Aubrey O’Day has issued a warning to fans who want to support Danity Kane, noting that all money from purchases of music from the group goes directly to Diddy.
The singer/reality star has been vocal about her disdain for the Bad Boy mogul for some time, and even more so since the allegations from Cassie came out. Taking to her Instagram Story on Monday (November 20), Aubrey shared a clip of DK and made a PSA to their longtime fanbase.

“16 + years of our loyal fans.. I ask you to respectfully consider this,” she began. “ALL of your coins spent on us directly supported/support Diddy and everything he just did. Not a dig. Just a fact you should be aware of next time you think to stream of buy your fav’s music. If you want to help the systemic problem we CLEARLY were just whiplashed with. Look into/ or ask you fav artist’s what money actually feeds them so you can help them stay healthy and not fall victim to being dependent on any executive.”

Following news Diddy had settled the $30million lawsuit from Cassie over the weekend for allegations of rape, sexual abuse and more, Aubrey O’Day made it clear that she wasn’t happy about the way things went.
“Money > accountability. Every time. Welcome to another chapter of the system is well in place,” she wrote – before later clarifying that she was referring to Puff, not blaming Cassie.

Prior to the settlement, O’Day made sure she supported Cassie online.
“Been tryna tell y’all for years,” she wrote on her Instagram Story on Thursday (November 16). “Prayers up for this queen @Cassie.”

O’Day isn’t the only celebrity to come to the defense of Cassie in the wake of the bombshell lawsuit.
Dawn Richard, another ex-Danity Kane member, also supported the singer.

“Praying for Cassie and her family, for peace and healing. You are beautiful and brave. [heart emoji],” she wrote on Twitter.
Azealia Banks also reacted to the news on social media on Thursday (November 16), detailing another alleged incident of domestic violence that Cassie suffered at the hands of the Bad Boy Records boss.
“THIS IS TRUE,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories in response to the headline: “Cassie Sues Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs For Rape And Repeated Physical Abuse.”
She added: “One time Diddy beat her up so bad he sent her on a 3week ‘vacation’ to Hawaii just so no one would see or question how her face got like that.”

Banks called Diddy “another violent hiphop homosexual,” and said: “This is what mental illness looks like for all of you armchair psychologists” — that last part seemingly a nod to observers who have speculated about her own mental health in the past.
In a statement provided to HipHopDX by Ben Brafman, the attorney for Diddy, on Saturday, it was made clear that settling the case did not constitute an admission of guilt by his client.

“Just so we’re clear, a decision to settle a lawsuit, especially in 2023, is in no way an admission of wrongdoing,” he wrote. “Mr. Combs’ decision to settle the lawsuit does not in any way undermine his flat-out denial of the claims. He is happy they got to a mutual settlement and wishes Ms. Ventura the best.”
