It’s Bad Boy For Life? Artists Whose Talents Are/Were Wasted Under Bad Boy Records

- By

Janelle Monae

Why Monae is on Bad Boy in the first place…I have no clue. Maybe Diddy wanted to look like he was helping to produce a wide range of music, outside of the usual lovelorn R&B and hip-hop, because the pompadour-wearing singer is far left for his roster (in a very, VERY good way though). However, while you might usually find Diddy jumping on 106 & Park couches with his artists (like Cassie and Machine Gun Kelly…) and pushing them hard, the promotion and enthusiasm he shows for Monae’s work is usually lacking. The only time I’ve really seen him acknowledge her talents is after she had people talking and giving props when she performed in a tribute for Prince at the 2010 BET Awards. I fear that if we see less and less promotion for Monae’s work in the future, we might see less and less of Monae…and that can’t happen because her albums are awesome!
