I was literally just thinking about how Aubrey’s snappy attitude would NOT have worked if she was a black woman. obviously it got her kicked out the group eventually but Diddy put up with it way longer than he would’ve if she was a black woman.
goldmineken yes. If dawn or d woods dared to ever speak to him like that all hell would’ve broke loose. Aubrey got away with so much just cuz she was white. She was mediocre and basic af.
Dawn should go to TED talk and talk about how hard it is to make it as a dark skin female in the industry and all the things she has experienced. Very wise woman.
The levels of in depth transparency makes this interview next level like a Dirty Money record. Dawn looks so fresh and glowing. Real shame about both groups. Danity Kane was meant to be that transitional international big girl group and Puff missed it. In many ways I was glad Aubrey was so outspoken in favour of the group to Puff because although she got wild at times she also knew what the group supposed to be, and Puff missed the vision. Her key flaw was no tunnel vision getting sidetracked on celebrity hunger. Dawn is special because she gets the industry, so the mentality of nobody owes me anything (even if they did) keeps the drive in music alive. Kudos Dawn ❤️💐💐
Aubrey was the Geri Halliwell... and dawn was the Mel B together as the vocal group members with the support of the other girls they could've really turned it
Just came from the Empressive Channel, wow just wow! Checking out all of her new stuff now ! Where have I been? Damn you music industry for hiding her!
I loved the way Dawn broke down these stories and was straight forward. I just wish the guy in the black hoodie would stop cutting her off and being so loud every time she’s just getting to the good parts.
Get over it people are a lot to interact and that’s what he’s doing interacting with her and when you talk to somebody they do interact with you it’s funny how you complain about an interview but they do interact less homework what is doing is funny they wouldn’t actually interrupt a person yes he’s actually now he’s actually more Interacting with her but whatever
This is definitely the best interview Dawn has ever done yet! She is a true artist, innovator and visionary. Her interviews deserve to be handled as such. Ask the real questions, get the real story 💯
Dawn's story is brave, incredible and most importantly over the years has always been consistent. This interview filled in a lot of lil gaps throughout and it was so great to hear. Much love & respect to the hosts & Dawn for her openness. 💖
I've watched Dawn from her start on MTV and followed her through her career. I could say a lot here, but if I could tell her one thing it's that I feel the same way about Last Train To Paris. I still listen to it every couple months, same as Danity Kane and anything Dawn's done... including NPR. I could listen to her talk or sing or dance the entire day long. The only thing missing is Aundrea.
Saucey Sinister These are my same exact thoughts. I can’t help but think about how awesome her skin looks. I think that maybe because of her vegan diet. Dairy is problematic to a lot of people and their skin.
I've watched many interviews w her before. Her look, not wearing sunglasses in the interview, being calm, authentic & articulate, made her truth & perspective easier to hear & digest. Proud of you Dawn! Keep it going ( :
She is the reason I was able to get through some of my toughest times in life. Her music really helped pull me out of dark places and I just appreciate her for not giving up and sharing her music and art work.
Carlton Collins same here. I went through a phase of being homeless and losing a job and her music kept me going. I wish to meet her one day and tell her thank you for being there when no one else was.
This is the level of an interview that She expected from The Breakfast Club and they were only interested in gossip slop.... I remember her asking them about it...
Blackheart DID IT for me, I was sold after I bought the album off iTunes and listened to it!! I went from Fan to FULL ON STAN!!! after that I could not just “stream” her records I had to buy them
Dawn need a biopic !!!! The way she tell stories is incredible. This interview is litteraly the most raw she as been in here element I feel so encouraged I feel like I can’t be stopped I feel like it’s OK to fail, because at the end of that I will find self success !!
This is one of the best artist interviews I've ever seen in my life. Like, even if I didn't love her or know who she was. I love these stories. She should write a book. Her latest album is amazing btw
Ms Dawn was and is always my favorite artist even from her DK days she’s a true icon in my opinion a real artist ahead of the trend and she’s not waiting on anyone to catch up she sets the trend
Been following Dawn since she first popped up on mtb. Man does this human deserve hella more credit than what she's given. Love her and will always love her with her body of work to pieces. Walking inspiration, periodt. ❤!!!!!!!
Wow watching this for the first time in 2024 and Dawn predicted what’s happening with Afrobeats and the country movement that is happening right now. Very great interview!
Dawn is a Star!! She has so many dedicated fans and I am one of them!! I hope she forever knows that her hard work will always be recognized and appreciated 💕
I would love to see a biopic of her story... Like, her going through Katrina doing Making the Band... That whole deal with Puff... I really would love to see it written out -- I've loved her since the beginning of learning who she is
It's Just Shay wow 😳 is this the Shay that was windmilling 💨 for Mr. Bradley..who now doesn’t support him and calling me a troll some time ago?!?🤔🤔 My..My..My...hummm😊
@@amazingracelive4370 -- *IT IS I, AND* -- what does that have to do with the price of tea in China, and my comment on this video that has nothing to do with whatever they have going on.... I stand by what I did then... And I still think you some type of troll... 🤷🏾♀️😂😂😂 -- jury still out... I stop supporting Shawn bc he switched the game up and went left... It's my GROWN WOMAN PRIVILEGE... So many others in "that sector" I pulled my support from, the list is long... And if, I wanted to support again, I'll do that too... *AND* 🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤡
Imagine someone coming for you, out the blue... After years of ignoring their ass... And then call you bothered... When they came for you... 🤷🏾♀️ Under a video no less that is super old that I'm happening to watch bc I recently watched a documentary about DK over on Empressive channel... And then bc they Aggy as fuck... Somehow blocking your comments bc they don't really want the smoke -- mofos is weird ASF -- I guess 😂😂😂
I am just coming back to know that Dawn is still doing her thing. My favorite song(s) by her are Titans and James Dean. I am so proud of you black girl. Keep doing this for us other black girls that are looking at you!!
by reading the comments they left a positive impact on most ppl. The Dirty Money era is nostalgic because it was unexpected but very much needed. Songs like Im Coming Home and Ass On The Floor etc. Kind of remember it like it was yesterday. That’s the BET 106 and Park days where we got a chance to see visuals with the music. Dawn Richards was fine asf too and thick back then
Wow!! Go Dawn!!! I love that she honers her authentic self. No matter what, who listened, who came, who left; She stayed true to who she is intrinsically. So much respect for her! Wow!
Been watching and listening to her for years, and this is the first time it seems she really felt super comfortable allowing her Nola accet to flow free!
I took my daughter to meet Danity Kane at Nordstrom in Bellevue, Washington. All the girls were so nice to my daughter and Shannon made her feel beautiful. We looked forward to them coming in concert but it never happened.
What an incredible interview. Dawn is a shining star that is unmatched in this world. Her body is work is so beautiful, ever evolving, fully revolutionary, and masterful.
Sooooo happy a friend sent me this interview. Always love Dawn, mainly because of her strong Brandy influences but now I admire her for so much more. Thank U for using Ur platform to give us such greatness that feeds. 🙌🏾❤️💯
Damn... Have to say it again. In 2021, Dirty Money is still played in my car. I do wish that P.Diddy made a second album of Dirty Money. I have to say... I also have to say that Dawn is one heck of an attract woman both inside and outside.
Dawn really is incredible as an artist. I appreciate her so much, always have. Her work and dedication is so phenomenal and inspiring. I need that VR boo,
Good evening, how are y'all doing on this beautiful night? I've learned so much from Dawn. I love how Dawn stood out and told the truth about the situation. The group Dantiy Kane could have been bigger what they are. Puffy created the monster.
I’m the biggest TLC fan. Danity Kane could have been bigger than them and the spice girls. Diddy mess that up, the girls was gonna eventually work it out. Coming from a show like that, things were gonna eventually turn around. They should have fought harder when he fire them on national tv. They should have been like a unit at that moment.
skurinski I’m quite sure it could have been possible. For example if Left Eye didn’t pass away, TLC could have been the biggest worldwide because they sold 65 million and spice girls sold 85 million. From a marketing perspective, what made Danity Kane different is all the girls had the great vocals but in reality it was a reality show. My opinion.
@@tezwill5876 exactly, they really could’ve been as big as the Spice Girls. Too bad Diddy was never a decent leader and label head. He fucked up with DK and Day26.
Great interview. I understand wanting & yearning to be apart of a Group but you still gotta go out on your own. I also, understand some people in positions of power lack direction. Most importantly, I'm HAPPY she took charge of her career 👌🏾
![FNAF vs TF2 - Episode 2 [SFM]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/z5b3V2-VLb0/mqdefault.jpg)
Literally the best interview she’s ever done. I could listen to her tell her story all daaaayyyy.
Agreed !
stylishjoy 💯
Facts ...she so slept on its just ridiculous
stylishjoy right? She and LeToya Luckett tell the best stories...
Yyyaaaasssss!!!! ALL DAMN DAY. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
She was always ahead and a loyal one.
Always and still is. Crazy !
A TRUE Leo!!! 💕👑

You literally do not know that and are just making shit up. 🙄
This didnt age well 😳
First time hearing her full story. Easily one of the best interviews she’s done.
Dawn should go to TED talk and talk about how hard it is to make it as a dark skin female in the industry and all the things she has experienced. Very wise woman.
LOUI J
Yea and as an independent artist
Maybe As a black woman in general because she isn’t dark skin..
Shay Belle’ she is dark skin, dark skin isn’t one shade
I think that’s opinions...i consider myself dark skinned but my husband swears I’m not so
MzMahoganyHoneyBrown I’m aware that dark skin is depicted in multiple shades, but I’m also aware that she isn’t one of them.
SHE FINALLY SAID SHE’S an alto/tenor!!!
Γαh she definitely is too, Dawn has a unique voice
MICO never truly heard it
@@nenej12 very unique
@@Prettiboimico she could be hybrid of some kind honestly

Great synopsis
Diddy fumbled tf out that bag
Aubrey was the Geri Halliwell... and dawn was the Mel B together as the vocal group members with the support of the other girls they could've really turned it
😢
Just came from the Empressive Channel, wow just wow! Checking out all of her new stuff now ! Where have I been? Damn you music industry for hiding her!
empressive did them grimey. had to thumbs down that vid. left out some of the most important things. makes no sense.
Check out her new album Second Line it's great.
Danity Kane really could of been one of the biggest girl group
Actual & Factual
Facts!!! First girl group in history to have both albums debut at #1 says something, I still have both playing to this day
Could have had a legacy….
I am upset all over again. So much wasted potential
Best DAWN interview. And I’ve watched EVERY SINGLE ONE.
Adam Devereaux same. I totally agree
You and me both. Trust me. This is the best one hands down.
@@TheJustinGreen I agree , she actually went into detail here for the first time . The most honest I’ve heard to be .
I loved the way Dawn broke down these stories and was straight forward. I just wish the guy in the black hoodie would stop cutting her off and being so loud every time she’s just getting to the good parts.
Seriously. Chill, out dude.
Get over it people are a lot to interact and that’s what he’s doing interacting with her and when you talk to somebody they do interact with you it’s funny how you complain about an interview but they do interact less homework what is doing is funny they wouldn’t actually interrupt a person yes he’s actually now he’s actually more Interacting with her but whatever
@@tammiepage6489no he’s interrupting
This is definitely the best interview Dawn has ever done yet! She is a true artist, innovator and visionary. Her interviews deserve to be handled as such. Ask the real questions, get the real story 💯
I’ve never heard her tell her entire story at once. This was great

Yes!!
I don’t understand why she signed up for MTB, If she was already in a contract
I've watched many interviews w her before. Her look, not wearing sunglasses in the interview, being calm, authentic & articulate, made her truth & perspective easier to hear & digest. Proud of you Dawn! Keep it going ( :
She was soooo right about Dirty Money. I was too hurt when that group dissolved. Last Train to Paris STILL bangs in 2020!
Brian Golden , that I’m coming home lol .. that was unexpected but needed music
Karma is what caused the album and group to flop. Karma for how he treated DK. The group was built on deceit.
She is the reason I was able to get through some of my toughest times in life. Her music really helped pull me out of dark places and I just appreciate her for not giving up and sharing her music and art work.
Carlton Collins same here. I went through a phase of being homeless and losing a job and her music kept me going. I wish to meet her one day and tell her thank you for being there when no one else was.
Let her speak and stop
Interrupting! She’s amazing
I love when Dawn really broke down the tension in Danity Kane 32:01 with the competition and different walks of life
This is the level of an interview that She expected from The Breakfast Club and they were only interested in gossip slop....
I remember her asking them about it...
Blackheart DID IT for me, I was sold after I bought the album off iTunes and listened to it!! I went from Fan to FULL ON STAN!!! after that I could not just “stream” her records I had to buy them
N J valhalla same every last album
What I like about this, Dawn is operating in her Leo! She is a phenomenal artist! I been following since the beginning, she is on another astral plane
Yo wayne lol this interview just went viral on another RUclips page lol ITS TIME FOR NOLA TO BACK DAWN A BIT MORE!!!
Dawn need a biopic !!!! The way she tell stories is incredible. This interview is litteraly the most raw she as been in here element I feel so encouraged I feel like I can’t be stopped I feel like it’s OK to fail, because at the end of that I will find self success !!
she's so eloquent. love her!
Yeah, she's going down in the books.
Dawns our black pop star ✌😎😎🤘
This is one of the best artist interviews I've ever seen in my life. Like, even if I didn't love her or know who she was. I love these stories. She should write a book. Her latest album is amazing btw
The Best Interview Dawn has ever done!! I love her so much! She’s phenomenal ❤️
DAWN knows her facts that's why i love her
Ms Dawn was and is always my favorite artist even from her DK days she’s a true icon in my opinion a real artist ahead of the trend and she’s not waiting on anyone to catch up she sets the trend
Emory Jae
Yep that’s when I really fell in love with her. I remember first seeing her on MTB and was like I’m gone rock with her for a long time.
Listen! Last Train to Paris was such a dope album. 🔥 definitely one of my favs.
Pea Hop
Yep can still listen to it! 👌🏾
Been following Dawn since she first popped up on mtb. Man does this human deserve hella more credit than what she's given. Love her and will always love her with her body of work to pieces. Walking inspiration, periodt. ❤!!!!!!!
Wow watching this for the first time in 2024 and Dawn predicted what’s happening with Afrobeats and the country movement that is happening right now. Very great interview!
I liked that, how Dawn said; no to their loss but yes on to the next one. Keep gigging until you make it! That’s the spirit!
One of the best if not the best interview she has ever done! You guys did a great job with this one.
The Hearts gonna love this one! Xo
The indie Legend ⚜️🔥🔥
Dawn is a Star!! She has so many dedicated fans and I am one of them!! I hope she forever knows that her hard work will always be recognized and appreciated 💕
“Booty in da Pants” yesss!!!! You a true Dawn fan if you got the Dawn-Angelique album!
I keep forgetting to buy it & I’m not home to put it in my mp3 cart; yet again. 🙄 I need to get my life together. Lol

I got the physical copy!!!!
I love her being an independent artist. I love her creativity and her out of the box thinking!! Love me some Dawn!
This interview was/is AMAZING. I can barely put it into words, amazing interviewers and DAWN when she speaks , gallaxies opens up.

The fact that he made three amazing group's and let them just go is crazy to me like why waste ppl time like that they deserve so much better
This was the best interview she's done in a long time
These radio guys too busy being animated and joking around, and not realizing they getting the exclusive no one else has
I love Dawn so much! New Breed is an amazing album. She just keeps getting better and better
Beautiful Black Queen 👸🏾 ... Legend. We love you Dawn ❤️

wow this was a fantastic interview. Y'all are wonderful hosts and created such a great environment for Dawn to be open and authentic
Well spoken
I remember that episode when he cut the last rows. Yes! The first time he called Aubrey a black girl she started acting differently 😂
& that was his first mistake BECAUSE SHE IS FULL ON CAUCASIAN
I love her so much!! Just went to New Orleans for the first time!!! Yass gurl amazing place!!
I loveeee her interviews 😍 Xx from Colombia 🇨🇴

It’s hard when the group wasnt formed organically but built manufactured from the beginning.
She has ALWAYS been my favorite.
Thank you so much for this Interview!!!

I’m still waiting for Dawn, D Woods, & Andrea to be a group like DC3. They were the girls
You're so inspiring and talented Dawn!
Amazing interview. Dawn drops gems of wisdom through her journey. 💜
This was a great interview. It’s so interesting to hear how the members now realize just how big DK would’ve been. #DediKatedKrew
