Laurie Ann was just as forthcoming when asked about the fate of DK’s male equivalent, Day26. “There’s an element of that [disconnect] that’s growing, absolutely.”“I’m not sure how long Will — I mean, I love the boys,” she said probably realizing she was saying a bit too much. “They’re so talented and they have survived a lot, but they have to keep going. And like everybody they have to keep pushing. They can’t want the reward without the work. It just doesn’t happen like that in this business.”
Y'all saw that? She mentioned Willie by name, and then caught herself. It's been clear from the formation of the group that Willie was the breakout star of the group. He was the best looking, the best singer and Diddy always licked his lips when Willie walked in the room. Willie, more than any of the other guys, seems eager to strike it big and he's letting his frustrations with the group's failures known. He expressed disappointment in the "Stadium Music" video and he even took to Twitter offering his songwriting talents to "any A&R on Twitter." Obviously, all is not well in Camp Day26 when one of the lead singers of your group is frustrated that he's holding in "hits" and reaching out to A&Rs outside of Bad Boy. Perhaps Willie sees the writing on the wall. Without Making the Band to drum up hype for the group, who knows what will become of the group, so why not start making moves now?
Laurie Ann also touched on Danity Kane and their breakup. Nothing new on that front. The same ol', same ol' they got caught up in the hype and lost focus. Yada yada. She also declines to name names, but it's clear, like everyone else at Bad Boy, that she rests a lot of blame on Aubrey's shoulders. Aubrey's gonna get tired of these veiled comments and let the cat out of the bag one of these days.
