In 2005, five young hopeful girls auditioned for MTV’s Making the Band and a year later, under the production of P. Diddy, they became known as Danity Kane.
From then until 2009, the group released two studio albums and headlined three national tours. Similar to the Pussycat Dolls, the ladies danced along to seductive pop and R&B styled songs. They were known for their sexiness, confidence and attitude.
Sadly for fans, Danity Kane went on a hiatus in 2009 after rumors swirled of differences and arguments between all five members, Aubrey O’Day, D. Woods, Shannon Bex, Dawn Richard and Aundrea Fimbres.
For four years, the girls had solo careers and experimented with other music but then just recently it was released that the lineup would join together and released a new single, “Lemonade” featuring Tyga without the help of former producer, P. Diddy.
Everyone was excited and looking forward for the new Danity Kane music until this past week when news broke that the girls would be breaking up for good after an apparent fight between Richard and O’Day.
Disappointedly, TheCelebrityCafe.com is counting down our top 10 favorite Danity Kane songs to remember what could have been, again.
