Love your comment! Babs just did an interview recently saying that Sara was right. She also said the paperwork they signed was them giving up their publishing. They were young, from the hood, broke, and they thought this was their dream coming true. Puff played them.
looks the same to me. I wasn't stupid back then either. the TV show was what Diddy was pushing more than the actual artists. and when it was time to sign, well, he was business. it was already out back then that some groups got jacked that way. pressured to sign as a group. if one doesn't go for it, the whole group can't get anything, so the members of the group pressur each other. therefore Diddy says it'd not his fault when they don't get what they should. they should've worked together before signing instead of allowing pressure to get to them. it's a tactic and Diddy was in position to use that tactic. thsts his job.
@@korofyah If you sign a contract w.o reading it or w.o a lawyer to go over it then that's your problem. As you saw they did that w.o hesitation. Puff gave them the standard rookie deal that even Suge Knight gave his artist at DR. All they can do is whine & say Diddy jerked em bc they can't take it to court bc they'll get laughed outta the courtroom due to them signing that one sheet or paper.
Anything that has to do working with Puffy/Bad Boy is a huge mistake, them fools flippin out on Sara you can easily see they been broke forever and lack professional
Da Band should of hired a manager away from Bad Boy Records everyone. For real. Believe it. Facts. 100 💯. Yes. Yeah. No disrespect to that manager they was manager by in Bad Boy Records from out their in New York in the Northeast on the East Coast Atlantic Coast USA Time everyone during the year 2003 or 2004 everyone. For real Yes.
I thought it was cold how everyone pressured Sarah. I think one of them mentioned in the later episodes that she was right all along for wanting her husband to look over the contract before it got signed. I bet they won't make that mistake again!
@Highly Melanated BrwnSkn it’s just a piece of paper until something happen and you have don’t have power of attorney. Sitting at the funeral looking stupid because you’re not in the obit and you can’t live in the house y’all had together anymore because their fam kicked you out and excluded you from everything. Or they are in the hospital and you don’t have any say about what the doctors can and can’t do. I don’t care that their marriage is done. At the end of the day Bentley put them on game with how marriage works.
@@amira_shmira At the end of the day these, was some broke kids determined to make some money ok. They didn't care about her husband in which he really can't just call no shots or speak for them
So outside of Sara, no one else hesitated. Was there anything wrong with having a lawyer looking over those contracts? Then you have Fred in present-day crying about what Diddy to him.
Then Fred was talking about “if it was my girl” when he was complaining about Sara talking with her husband. That’s not her boyfriend dumbass it’s her husband 😂😂
I'm only going through the season because of Fred's new allegations. Before they disbanded Fred didn't show up to the final meeting. When they called him he told them to cut him. I can't be the only one who remembers that.
When the chips are down you will really see how these people are !! “Joker” …. Puff knew them kids were starving and AND PLAYED ON THAT … people fail to see, you keep food from a person long enough . The end results could be dangerous!
That is thinking logically. But if that contract says that the band consist of 6 members or list their names out, one member decision could have an effect on the group. But diddy knew he was working with broke kids so he probably didn’t have to do too much word twisting in those contracts.
back then minimum wage was $6 an hour; thats $480 every two weeks thats $960 a month, thats $12k a year; so getting $8gs for doing what they was doing was a step up plus they had the fame that could have taken them to the next level if they truly capitalized on their fame and hard work;
Freddie P sign the contract and practically force Sara to sign. They was all given the opportunity to read over contract but they choose other wise now 15 years later Freddie talkin bout Diddy robbed them…
@@cay820 exactly he was the main one he was a ghetto hot head that wanted to be on the block they was so trifling literally I remember they had to make them clean up and go to the studio that was in the house....like how Diddy giving you that kind of access and yall laying around and fighting smh
I knew it! If one didnt sign, none of them were getting signed. The pressure was on. SARA WAS RIGHT! But they were hungry. So sad! This still happens today. Much love to them.
Yeah, but it was the 90s, people weren't as mindful about whether or not they're getting scammed. What's even worse is that the music idol and whatnot contracts are just as bad today. Even RuPaul's is like this. Thankfully nowadays people are getting more and more opportunities to do their thing without signing themselves off to anyone.
He was young so his priorities wasn’t the best , I’m sure when he became an adult he has it priorities in order . Like watching him in 2022 he is very aligned with his spirituality. Feeling free is priceless
Telling people to just wait for their checks and work for free is WILD! Bad Boy really ripped ppl off with those contracts... I know they look at this episode and really regret not listening to Sara
Thanks to whoever runs this channel you’ve brought back so many memories of nostalgia, this was truly my favorite of all the making da band franchises‼️👀📺
So because young people coming from their backgrounds are hungry and not well informed, it makes it right to take advantage of them? Listen Black people were being ripped off based on being hungry and Black from 19 long-time in the music business. So it's crazy 🤪 how successful Black Business men now feel its a right of passage to rip off their own🤔 #slavementality #purefuckery #and #straightup #shegry
*The biggest takeaway from this episode was in life, ESPECIALLY doing any business. NEVER sign anything without reading it & if possible, have a lawyer go through it. A lot of musicians sign these deals & Wind up regretting it because they were young, dumb & hungry just trying to get their foot in the door & not thinking about the savages waiting for you to sell your soul*
Sarah husband was right you shouldn’t sign any contract that you don’t read and understand. Also hiring Puffs manager is a conflict of interest. But if you do sign that’s on you not Puff.
Choppa and Fred was just gonna blow that lil money any way. Chopppa was talking about getting a car that was way more than his advance, and Fred was talking bout buying a chain, now he talking bout he gotta baby to feed. 😂😂😂😂
Sara was the ONLY ONE that wanted to actually read the contract!!!!! And the first thing Freddie,and Choppa did was go to the jewelry store 😩I thought Freddie said he didn’t have no money 💴But that was f*cked up about their money. And yes Puffy that was “Homeboy Records”
Diddy was never invested in anyone or anything that came after the original bad boy. Day26 and Danity Kane could have been BIG BIG. But he never truly behind these groups
Has your manager or supervisor ever paid you out of their pockets? Idk if y’all aware but Bad Boy is under a bigger label. They have to wait to get a check cut to them as well
@marslowell3992 He definitely did. That's why it's been on going for the past 30 years (Lox, Craig Mack, Loon, Mario Waynans, 112, Cherri Dennis, B5, Shayne, Biggie) and no one sued over it. If they don't continue to pursue music independently, then they are only good for two albums max with Bad Boy
And now damn near two decades later, Fred is on social media painting Diddy out to be the devil. This aged badly for all of them (with the exception of Sara). Especially for Fred
Nowadays people will never understand the meaning of wife and husband being as one. I liked how Tony had Sara’s back regardless of her decision. Apparently, Sara was the smart one. I would want to know wth im signing too, sometimes the $ is not worth it! I bet they regret it now
They started tripping about money and immediately Diddy said we gotta get them busy to get their mind of money and said perform ya songs in the studio that we already recorded.. Diddys a smooth operator 🤣🤣
and his ass definitely would've gotten robbed if he went back to "the hood" with all that advance money, new clothes and jewelry. That money and fame could've cost him his life if you think about it.
Dylon the only chill one about not getting paid lmao that's cool I fw that mindset, not the shit like missing shows and showing up late but not worrying about things you can't control.
Noticed when Bentley was talking to Fred about mismanagement of money. Fred said YES I mismanaged my money. So how is that Sara fault he pressed for funds to the point that he didn't want to get the contract looked at? They probably could have gotten a better deal.
He signed for that check and went right to get a chain from Jacob. Then when the checks were late, he started talking about how he has a baby to raise.
@@aubrey6834429 he ran through his money like water because he came from poverty not used to have anything. It's on him at the end of the day if he squandered his money and don't have nothing to show for it.
What does Bad Boy being a business have to do with not being paid on time? McDonald's is a business as well. If their employees can get paid on time, why can't a record label do the same? Sara was the smart one. The fact the none of them would get paid unless everybody signed was the biggest red 🚩 🚩 .
Heres the problems: 1.The contract, Babs kept saying “this group is a union” her ghetto ass was too busy yelling over Bentley, everybody signed with no hesitation, their broke asses wanted that money, but Sara was the only one who discussed it and hesitated, 2. Jewelry shopping, Fonzworth is a way better manager & advisor than that clown Phil 3. The lawyer phone not being in service when they called about their checks, huge red flag
At 14 seeing this for the first time I can’t remember what my first thought of this was. But now at 33, I’m lost on why nobody even asked her what she saw in the contract that didn’t sit right with her. Nobody else thought to read over the contracts again and maybe see what she saw. But everybody blames Diddy. Blaming him only goes so far. At the end of the day. READ what u sign 😩
The contract wasn't for money. It was them signing over their rights to their music. The lawyer and the manager worked for Diddy they weren't on their side.
I love how after Sara vents about her issues with the group to Diddy or Tony, she immediately goes to the individual and hugs them or tell them she loves them.
She is isn't talented at all and giving Cassie vibes ,very untalented and so unsuccessful till date , even biggie the greatest sold his publishing to Diddy because he needed the money then ,that didn't stop his financial success abd greatness till date, most these unsuccessful people in music wanna be successful without giving up nothing as stake,the question is what's your stake that you are giving to making your dreams come true? If your talent was the only thing needed to be successful in music business then there won't be record companies facts 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
@@adetolaodukoya3493 like I said Sara was smart to want a Lawyer to look at the contract. Q an Aubrey Day was all smart. They all fought against the same system.

Dylon the only chill one about not getting paid lmao that's cool I fw that mindset, not the shit like missing shows and showing up late but not worrying about things you can't control.
I agree, I love Dylan when he’s just chill and hanging out but when it’s time to actually do work, he’s lazy and insufferable as hell.
Noticed when Bentley was talking to Fred about mismanagement of money. Fred said YES I mismanaged my money. So how is that Sara fault he pressed for funds to the point that he didn't want to get the contract looked at? They probably could have gotten a better deal.
They were dumb lol ...fred probably spent all his money on gaudy sh**...they became desperate and would sign anything
He signed for that check and went right to get a chain from Jacob. Then when the checks were late, he started talking about how he has a baby to raise.
Sara should have just signed
That's y he crying on the internet now about Diddy did him so wrong
@@aubrey6834429 he ran through his money like water because he came from poverty not used to have anything. It's on him at the end of the day if he squandered his money and don't have nothing to show for it.
This group had so many diff styles in one they could have went down in history
Fred big grown ass was always sucking his thumb 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My bff still suck her thumb at 45. She had a rag that went with it for years😃
It’s weird asf ! I would’ve told him don’t do that sh!t around me
I think he’s autistic.
Fred was signing his life away, and didn’t even know it✍🏽🤦🏽♂️
He couldn’t WAIT 😂😂😂
What does Bad Boy being a business have to do with not being paid on time? McDonald's is a business as well. If their employees can get paid on time, why can't a record label do the same? Sara was the smart one. The fact the none of them would get paid unless everybody signed was the biggest red 🚩 🚩 .
They maybe didn’t blow up as big as they wished but they will always be apart of bad boy history and music culture so that’s a win honestly
This EXACT episode is why I don't feel bad for them crying all over CZcams
Like 50 cent said "at least in the streets they show you the gun when they rob you"
That's tough. If one person doesn't sign, nobody in the group gets paid. SMH
Like NWA
@@ChristopherLeonJohnson exactly. Sara shoulda left like Cube did too
Heres the problems: 1.The contract, Babs kept saying “this group is a union” her ghetto ass was too busy yelling over Bentley, everybody signed with no hesitation, their broke asses wanted that money, but Sara was the only one who discussed it and hesitated, 2. Jewelry shopping, Fonzworth is a way better manager & advisor than that clown Phil 3. The lawyer phone not being in service when they called about their checks, huge red flag
And they still didn’t
@@Tyranny329 Where was she gonna go though if she had left?
At 14 seeing this for the first time I can’t remember what my first thought of this was. But now at 33, I’m lost on why nobody even asked her what she saw in the contract that didn’t sit right with her. Nobody else thought to read over the contracts again and maybe see what she saw. But everybody blames Diddy. Blaming him only goes so far. At the end of the day. READ what u sign 😩
Im 31 and I realize now Sara and probably ness were the only ones that read that contract smh 🥺
@@rikabbyify if Ness read the contract n still signed without backing up Sara. That’s crazy on his part.
The contract wasn't for money. It was them signing over their rights to their music. The lawyer and the manager worked for Diddy they weren't on their side.
I love how after Sara vents about her issues with the group to Diddy or Tony, she immediately goes to the individual and hugs them or tell them she loves them.
Sara tried to warn them, can’t just be signing something without reading it first
She has every right to consult her husband, they are one in holy matrimony
He was really shaming them for being upset. “Your checks is coming! You signed to badboy!” That didn’t age well did it??
😂😂😂
Facob the Jeweler was mad finessing them
I know they look back on this and get sooo mad for not thinking this out
Well even if they did no other record label would sign em anyway. And it's messed up because they were mad talented
I'm glad Sara left Tony's toxic ass
She went to jail for stabbing him she beat it tho
They really hooked them up for the magazine shoot ! 👌🏾
Yeah they got them looking good and feeling good before they pressured them into signing their lives away. They're not dumb.
@@thugmonk9837 cap
When I was a kid watching this, I thought Fred was terrible. 20 years later, still think he’s terrible.
I tell you even after all these years this never gets old. I was glued to the TV when this show came on. @9:20 Diddy's suit was crisp!
His suit cost more than their contract
@@kman215 😄😄
Sara and them damn glasses. Girllla
They were desperate and wanted the money. Sara was smart!
Yea but didn't matter at the end of the day she signed
Sarah had money the rest where broke and struggling that's why
@@ED-jd2hx Peer Pressure
She is isn't talented at all and giving Cassie vibes ,very untalented and so unsuccessful till date , even biggie the greatest sold his publishing to Diddy because he needed the money then ,that didn't stop his financial success abd greatness till date, most these unsuccessful people in music wanna be successful without giving up nothing as stake,the question is what's your stake that you are giving to making your dreams come true? If your talent was the only thing needed to be successful in music business then there won't be record companies facts 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
@@adetolaodukoya3493 like I said Sara was smart to want a Lawyer to look at the contract. Q an Aubrey Day was all smart. They all fought against the same system.
Looking back 18 years later that long gaudy chain era was super trash...
They were so gifted. Use your gifts no matter what. You don't need record deals to do what you do. You can drive for Uber and still sing or rap for people. Keep going no matter what.
The issue is that most of those people WANT to be rich and famous.
Da Band: JUST SIGN IT!
Also Da Band:
"You were right Stokey.....you were right....."
😭😭😭😭
🤣🤣🤣🤣
*Stokes
@@Amazing.Aries_416___ Choppa called her "Stokey"
@@JordanClemons I watched all 3 seasons and I’ve never heard him call her no dam “Stokey” I heard Stokes or Sara
@Amazing.Aries_416___ ma'am, if you dont get tf on. He literally says it multiple times, you can go to 14:09 and hear him call her Stokey at least 2-3. He also refers to her as "Stokey" randomly all through the seasons. So what bootleg sht you been watching
Sara was smart from day one she should have stook to her guns ❤❤❤❤❤💯💯💯💯💯💯
Yeah but I doubt Diddy would have even revised the contracts in da bands favor
She def stuck to her guns and was the only 1 not blinded
Sara could've call her lawyer back to look over the contract
Looking at this and how Fred pressured Sarah into signing. To now today see Fred crying about how those contracts and How Puff Robbed them is wild!!
I love when Sarah would say junk lol
I love the way she said “man” 😂
💀💀
Coming out the hood $200,000 is a lot of money. That 200G's was they got and puff made millions of that album. Once a crook always a crook
I think that was $200 G’s for the group altogether. Not $200 G’s each.
@@karimbennett5651exactly they probably got 15k each
damn, ive never seen somebody whole life and career burn in flames in REAL TIME,
i can only imagine what footage they have during this that showed what diddy did
Sara was like ice cube not trusting that contract.
Yeah but Sara didn't have no choice but signed it ✍️ Ice Cube didn't signed and left everything behind he said he rather be broke then get fucked over and I agree 💯
I’m here cause this shit too accurate right now with this fcking stimulus!!!!🗣
