Dirty Money's Kaleena and Dawn Reveal Working Behind Diddy
Kaleena and Dawn are pretty much the duo who makes up Dirty Money, with hooks from non other than ego maniac Diddy Himself and a plethora of artists to help sell this group ruminant of Total from back in the day.
But there’s more drama then meets the eye when it comes to Dirty Money. In fact, Kaleena says she has learned that Diddy has multiple personalities.
Not shocking to us!
Here is what Kaleena said to VIBE:
“The crazy thing for me I have yet to understand what’s really going on I’m so caught up in my craft; I have these blinders on that I forget who I am. I forget that I’m Kalenna in Dirty Money. Puff has had a lot of his personal biz out there but there are still some things that he holds dear. There is a fine line but there is a balance that we keep. Certain things that are kept behind closed doors. Puff isn’t always Diddy. Sometimes he’s Sean. It’s a fine line and a learning lesson. This whole process has been a sped up version of college…Dirty Money is something I wanted to be a life long thing.”
Dawn has her own experiences especially after she was part the gully “Making the Band.” She talks about how Dirty Money came together.
“My call with Diddy went like this: ‘So yeah, baby girl look, I feel like you…met Kalenna…I think it would be good if you would be in my group. I know how you feel about it I didn’t know how you feel about being in a group with another chick. We could do your solo project or we could do this group thing.’ It was 7 months since Danity Kane ended. I love what I’m hearing with his new music. I wanted to be part of the bigger picture.”
It was Dawn bask in April of 09, who spoke to Sohh about the group’s focus.
“It’s not a solo project. I’m in a group called, Dirty Money. It’s another girl and Puff and me,” Dawn revealed. “Her name is Kaleena. She’s a writer. She’s amazing. She’s wrote for every person you could ever imagine and now he’s giving her the opportunity…
…It’s not a background [situation] where it’s two girls in the back. We’re singing on all the joints…
It may be true, but on the outside looking in, girls you on the back burner, why do you think Diddy has heavy weights like Rick Ross coming to the rescue of your songs?
…It’s very different then what you’re used to. It’s a different thing. You’re going to be proud of it.”
I’ll say it like this, everything is bitter-sweet, don’t let it fool you!
