Diddy Hinted At A 'Making The Band' Return, And Twitter Is Losing It

"Something interesting happened this morning that I need to share with you guys..."

2019: The year of the reboots and remakes.

After Disney unleashed a sunburst of nostalgia with two live-action remakes for film classics The Lion King and The Little Mermaid, Bad Boy Records chief Diddy might also be leaping us down memory lane. Early 2000s epoch fans are in for a treat after Puff hinted that his MTV reality television and music competition show Making the Band could make its long-awaited return.

But, is the price right for such high demand?

  • ā€œSomething interesting happened this morning that I need to share with you guys,ā€ he announced in an Instagram video. The Bad Boy music and business guru was in the middle of some fresh haircut grooming while addressing his fans. Apparently, Puff said MTV rang him up recently about partnering with him to bring back Making the Band, which saw 12 seasons in total since its 2000 emergence. Puff admitted that he had doubts at first since some treasures of early 2000s past are better left untouched.

  • Besides, he mentioned, Puff doesnā€™t believe this new class of artists would be able to handle his ā€œlevel of intense coaching.ā€ For starters, however, he had one question for MTV: ā€œFirst of all, do you have the level of bag that I need for that to happen?ā€ According to their answer, they do, Puff confirmed, but he still wouldnā€™t want to tarnish his legacy. Even with all that said, heā€™d still like to give the new generation of artists the chance to experience Making the Band.

    Thus, heā€™ll leave the matter up to the peopleā€™s choice. ā€œIf you want your ā€˜Making The Band,ā€™ wherever you can find me, [tag] Diddy [with the] hashtag, #IWantMyMTB.ā€

  • He took the proposition to Twitter also

  • Well, folks...what do you say? Rehash with #IWantMyMTB or let it rest in early 2000s peace?Ā
