Diddy announced on Twitter today that he has officially left Warner Music Group and signed a new deal with Interscope Geffen A&M, leaving behind his Bad Boy roster and catalog. But while the move is good news for Puff, what does it mean for his group Day26?


Willie Taylor, one-fifth of Day26, spoke to Rap-Up.com in an exclusive interview. “The business of it is still getting taken care of as we speak,” he revealed. “We’re just trying to figure it out. Once the paperwork is done, then we’ll know.”

One thing’s for certain, the R&B quintet will remain at Atlantic Records. “It might be Bad Boy/Atlantic, it might just be Atlantic. Right now, it’s up in the air. We know we not gonna be Bad Boy/Interscope though. That’s not even part of the situation.”

Diddy called the “Making the Band” stars to personally deliver the news. “He called us and let us know everything that was going on, the move he was making. And it’s a good move for him.”

Robert, Brian, Willie, Mike, and Q are content with remaining behind at Atlantic. “We cool, whatever works for your career. At the end of the day, as long as our Ts are crossed and our Is are dotted, we happy at Atlantic.”

As for what will happen to other Bad Boy artists like Cassie and Donnie Klang, “I have no idea,” Willie said. “It came as a surprise and I was just still excited about the interest in keeping Day26 [on Atlantic]. I gotta get past that first.”

Day26 remains confident and positive about what lies ahead. “It’s easy. It’s like going to any other label. You just gotta figure out the system there and how they work and who’s gonna be your A&R for this project, letting them know that you’re worthy of being there. Day26 has no problem with that. We will convince any record label that we’re worthy of being there.”

Willie of Day26 just can’t seem to keep his clothes on. This dude has been exposed on the internet all over again. It kinda sucks because now women don’t even have to imagine what he looks like in the sheets anymore. In these photos you may not be able to see his face, but those are all his tats, just compare the photos.

The first time we believed they were fake, but this time buddy we believe these are legit. Who will leak photos from Bad Boy Records now? We are guessing Diddy. Last Train To Paris is coming out real soon. Check out the photos.

Here is Willie's Statement:

“It has been brought to my attention that private and personal photos of mine are currently circulating the web. As a man that is barely home with his family, my wife and I share some intimate moments the best way that we can. It is incredibly disturbing that someone with bad intentions would illegally hack into my email account and distribute these private moments to the world. I ask that everyone respect the privacy of my family. Also, I offer my sincere apologies to my fans.”

Day26 does it for the grown and sexy in the black-and-white video for “So Good,” the latest single off their sophomore album Forever in a Day. Ladies, eat your hearts out.

Day 26 member Willie Taylor has gone on the record about an alleged leaked nude photo that surfaced a few days ago. He is not denying that the face in the photo is him, but that the act in question was photoshopped. Here’s the full statement: So there it is.

“It is very unfortunate that someone would try to degrade my name by posting a fake photoshop image of myself on the internet holding what is alleged to be my penis. The alleged picture is my face, but the holding the penis part is not.
I am a man that has a family and have a tremendous amount of respect for myself, my son, my group and all of my fans across the world and I would never put them through such a predicament. So, in a nut shell, that picture is not me.”

In other news, Willie and his group, Day 26, have released a video album today, entitled “Forever In Your Eyes”. It is available digitally through iTunes and is led by the official single “So Good”.

This past Saturday, girls from all over New York’s five boroughs filled Harlem’s Apollo Theater to capacity to witness the audible treats of Bow Wow, Day26, and R&B singer Unique. As soon as the velvet curtains rose, young ladies wasted no time rushing to the front of the stage to get a closer glimpse at their favorite performers.

Day26 aims for stadium status in the video for “Stadium Music.” The Bad Boys transform into rock stars in the clip for the second single off their sophomore album Forever in a Day.

The Bad Boy family sticks together in the video for “Imma Put It On Her,” the first single off DAY26’s sophomore album Forever in a Day, in stores April 14
