Da Band

For several weeks the group was subjected to vigorous and sometime demeaning tasks, including walking from midtown Manhattan to Brooklyn to purchase a Junior's cheesecake for Diddy, and Elliot Ness' battle with Harlem MC Jae Millz. Their debut album, Too Hot for TV, was released in September 2003.
Da Band was widely criticized as fraudulent by few hip hop fans, due partially to the fact that Diddy often embarrassed them throughout the filming of the show.Da Band effectively ended their career on the Season Three finale, when Diddy dissolved the group.

Portrayal in the media
Comedian Dave Chappelle parodied the group in a sketch. Dave played Diddy and ordered the group to walk to the Bronx to fetch a Cambodian immigrant's breast milk, to walk to Queens to fetch a sugar cookie, to walk to northern New Jersey for a set of left-handed golf clubs, and to take a picture of a midget holding balloons.This was in reference to Diddy making the group walk miles to fetch his cheese cake.
Most of the group played themselves in this sketch, with the exception of Dylan John and Fredrick Watson, however group member Dylan John was also played by Chappelle and still made a small appearance.
