In an interview with @SOHTV, the presenter asked about the timing of this request, to which O’Day replied: “I received it a few months ago, when he started it”. O’Day and his group, Danity Kane, collaborated with Bad Boy Records for six years, during which they produced two platinum albums.
Combs previously announced his intention to return rights to artists he had previously signed. O’Day commented on this development, highlighting that some artists are now receiving streaming royalties and regaining ownership of their music publishing rights.
