Diddy’s Former Group “Day 26” are No More. Band Splits before Release of third Album.
I was wondering what happened to those dudes. I thought they would at least have 4 or 5 albums but alas they fell to the fate of the Making the Band curse: Not Getting Past Two Albums! Just before their long awaited third album potentially entitled “A New Day”, it was announced last week that they were no more. OK, not announced but mentioned by original band member Willie Tyler.
Fans were given a sneak peak via twitter exchanges that implied that Brian was out.
Willie, who basically couldn’t take it any more has flown solo. He is working on his own joints and a mixtape. In an interview with urbanbridgez Willie says on two separate occasions that the band is done.
First he says,
things changed and I’m not out here pointing fingers but we’re going to wait…that’s going to be a whole other interview where we get all the way down to the nitty gritty of it. But I got love for all of the brothers, but as of now there is no more Day 26
Then he says,
Me and the remaining members came to the decision that we needed to just go on and do our own thing. Just know I was there and once we come up with something that we want to make public, y’all will have it there. But there is no more Day 26!
A week after that interview, Willie, Brian, Robert and Mike released an official statement,
Me and the remaining members came to the decision that we needed to just go on and do our own thing. Just know I was there and once we come up with something that we want to make public, y’all will have it there. But there is no more Day 26!
Well, That’s a Wrap!
Day 26 looked like they were going to beat Danity Kane by making a third album. They got out two singles and even had a web series, which was a smart effort. They knew the fans loved them for their drama and brought it back on a low budget to the internet. All for it to fall apart at the seams.
Maybe they will be like the Wu. They will release solo efforts and then come back together for a reunion album. Willie Taylor has released a solo single called “Instagram Ya Body” and Mike has released a solo of his own called “Time Machine”. Hmm?? Yeah that’s right. I said “Instagram Ya Body”. Hee hee hee.
