Dawn Richard, Former Danity Kane Member, Expected to Testify in Diddy’s Federal Trial miixtapechiick

Dawn Richard, singer and former member of Danity Kane and Diddy-Dirty Money, is expected to testify Friday, May 16, in the federal criminal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs in Manhattan.

Richard’s anticipated testimony follows a September 2024 civil complaint in which she accused Combs of sexual assault, battery, trafficking, and unpaid labor. The lawsuit alleges Richard became entangled in Combs’ orbit during MTV’s Making the Band in 2004 and endured years of alleged psychological manipulation, physical abuse, and coercive labor practices while working under his Bad Boy umbrella.

According to court filings, Richard alleges Combs referred to her and fellow contestants as “fat,” “ugly,” “bitches,” and “hoes.” She claims he exercised control through intimidation and retaliated when she attempted to support others, including singer Casandra “Cassie” Ventura. Richard also says she witnessed multiple incidents of alleged violence involving Combs and Ventura, including one in which Combs reportedly threw a scalding pan of eggs at Ventura and another where he allegedly choked and dragged her up a staircase.

Richard further alleges she was subjected to excessive working hours without food or sleep, sexually harassed, inappropriately touched, and falsely imprisoned. In one incident, she claims she was locked in a car with no interior handles for over two hours after a disagreement with Combs, prompting her father to drive from Baltimore to New York to intervene.

In addition to sexual misconduct and abuse, the complaint accuses Combs and affiliated companies of copyright infringement and failing to compensate Richard for music, performances, and promotional appearances. She claims Combs threatened her career and family’s safety when she attempted to assert her rights.

Combs, who has denied all allegations, is facing federal charges including sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution, and racketeering. Ventura, the government’s third witness, has been testifying since Tuesday. Three more women are expected to testify anonymously.

The trial, which began this week following jury selection, continues Friday with Richard expected to take the stand.

D. Woods Responds After Three Danity Kane Members Say June 20 LA Block Party Booking Was Made Without Their Consent miixtapechiick

D. Woods took to her Instagram Stories to address the controversy surrounding a June 20 Danity Kane appearance at the LA Block Party in Los Angeles, confirming she and Aundrea Fimbres plan to perform at the event. “5,4,3,2, & even 1 — there have been many versions and configurations of Danity Kane. But our fans have always been constant,” she wrote. “Drea & D. Woods thank you for ‘Holding Us Down’ and are looking forward to GOING UP at @lablockparty June 20th. Let’s start the summer off right and continue our 20th Anniversary with a celebration of the music we all love.”

As previously reported by miixtapechiick.com, Danity Kane’s official page issued a statement saying the booking was made by only two members without the knowledge or consent of Dawn Richard, Aubrey O’Day, or Shannon Bex. “This promotion constitutes false advertising and a misleading promotion, creating a false impression of full group participation,” the statement read. “Presenting a two-member lineup under the full Danity Kane name without clear and accurate disclosure results in deception of fans and a clear misrepresentation of what is being offered.”

The June 20 appearance is billed as part of the group’s 20th anniversary. Danity Kane’s Untold Chapter Tour, which ran from December 2025 through January 2026, also featured D. Woods and Fimbres alongside Aubrey O’Day, without Richard or Bex.

Dawn Richard, Aubrey O’Day, and Shannon Bex are calling out a flyer promoting Danity Kane at the LA Block Party at Pershing Square in Los Angeles on June 20, saying they were not informed about the appearance and will not be there.

A statement posted to Danity Kane’s official page confirmed that only two members independently booked the show without the others’ consent. “This promotion constitutes false advertising and a misleading promotion, creating a false impression of full group participation,” the statement read. “Presenting a two-member lineup under the full Danity Kane name without clear and accurate disclosure results in deception of fans and a clear misrepresentation of what is being offered.”

The flyer was posted by the danitykaneontour Instagram account, which wrote “Kicking off this summer with @lablockparty bringing yall back to 20 years ago!”

The situation comes amid an already divided chapter for the group. Danity Kane’s Untold Chapter Tour ran from December 9 through January 2026 and featured Aubrey O’Day, Aundrea Fimbres, and D. Woods, a lineup that did not include the full original group. Dawn Richard said she was not aware of the reunion, and Shannon Bex has been open about stepping away from music to focus on entrepreneurship. Woods, who had not performed with the group since her exit in 2008, addressed her return directly. “The Untold Chapter Starts Now. Ya Girl Is Back and rewriting OUR story,” she wrote.

Ice Spice and Woman Throw Hands at Hollywood McDonald's miixtapechiick

Ice Spice threw hands with a woman at a McDonald’s in Hollywood on Wednesday, April 15, and the whole thing was caught on camera.

In footage obtained by TMZ, Ice Spice was at the restaurant with a friend when a woman approached their table uninvited and tried to squeeze in next to them. When Ice Spice and her friend asked her to leave, the woman slapped her. A brief scuffle followed before the woman’s friend pulled her away.

It didn’t end there. A second clip filmed outside shows the woman throwing another punch at Ice Spice while the group was crossing the street, leading to another scuffle. Video also shows Ice Spice picking up a phone from the ground belonging to someone in the other group, which she allegedly smashed.

The woman, identified as Vayah, gave her own account, claiming Ice Spice was rude when she approached to show support and that she slapped her after being called a “bitch.”

Ice Spice’s attorney Bradford Cohen said the incident has been reported to the LAPD. “The unprovoked attack on my client has been reported to the LAPD and we will be pursuing any and all avenues to hold the perpetrators responsible for their actions, including criminally and civilly,” Cohen said. “We are also exploring holding the location responsible for their lack of appropriate security.”

As previously reported by miixtapechiick.com, Ice Spice is currently being sued by a New York wig maker over an unpaid $20,000 order for her 2024 Y2K tour.
