The former Da Band’s Chopper claimed Diddy robbed them of 30 million dollars and saw the mogul kissing a man back in the day.
Chopper, also known as Young City, of Bad Boy’s Da Band has had a lot to say about his time with Diddy in the early-2000s. The New Orleans rapper recounted an unexpected discovery at Sean “Diddy” Combs’ residence—over 20 bottles of 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 oil. To him, it symbolized extravagance, a glimpse into the Bad Boy mogul’s indulgent lifestyle. During a conversation with DJ Vlad, Chopper described the scene with a mix of amusement and curiosity. The sheer quantity raised questions, sparking a playful debate about its purpose. Was it for aesthetic appeal, a staple of carefully curated ambiance? Or did it hint at something more provocative, perhaps tied to lavish, adults-only gatherings?
Chopper and Vlad tossed around theories, their discussion teetering between humor and speculation. The abundance of 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 oil, an otherwise unremarkable household item, took on a different meaning in the context of Diddy’s reputation for luxury and excess. While no definitive conclusion emerged, the revelation added another layer to the mystique surrounding Combs. Known for his opulent parties and enigmatic persona, the hip-hop mogul has long been the subject of speculation. Chopper’s anecdote, whether taken at face value or as entertainment, only fueled the intrigue.
Diddy Baby Oil
Da Band was a hip-hop collective formed by Sean “Diddy” Combs on MTV’s reality show Making the Band 2 in 2002. The group, comprised of six members—Freddy P, Chopper (Young City), Ness, Babs, Sara Stokes, and Dylan—was assembled after a grueling selection process that tested their lyrical s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s, perseverance, and ability to work together. Under Diddy’s mentorship, Da Band released their debut album, Too Hot for TV, in 2003. The project, featuring the hit single “Bad Boy This, Bad Boy That,” debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and achieved gold certification. Despite their commercial success, internal conflicts and Diddy’s high standards created tension.
After their split, members pursued solo careers with varying success. Ness and Babs remained active in battle rap, while Chopper and Freddy P voiced frustrations over their time at Bad Boy. Despite their short run, Da Band left a lasting imprint on reality TV and hip-hop history.
