Danity Kane's Dawn Richard Denies Solo Rumors


In the interview, Richard addresses the rumors that with two of the members dropped from the group, Diddy has plans to have her go solo. "It's so interesting how the media chooses to interpret or report things. I have never said that I was pursuing a solo deal. I told someone that I have waited so long for my dream, and singing is my dream and has been for so long. I have done nothing on the side as far as solo projects. I'm not sidestepping."

Instead of asking her about solo projects, "Everyone should ask Puff if that's what he has in line for me," she suggested. "If he does, then I'm honored and I will work hard, as I've always done. Who knows what can happen, because Puff changes his mind every five seconds. I'm going to work hard. I'm going to be the same person I was in the beginning."

Although she said she's been supportive of everyone's approaches to the group, Richard couldn't help but notice that others — most notably O'Day — were acting as they pleased. "I have totally been supportive of the group — that's my priority," she said. "We had shows where Aubrey didn't show up, and we had her back and no one wrote about it or said anything.

"Some of the other girls have pursued their interests, and I have sat back and supported them in their individual pursuits," she continued. "It truly hurts my feelings, because I work so hard, and I've been so honest from the beginning. Again, my priority has always been Danity Kane. I've never missed a show or meeting, so it's just interesting how people perceive things. I can only put it in God's hands."
