The Women of Bad Boy

It's a bad girl thing.

The Women of Bad Boy - Its be a remarkable two decade run of succes for Diddy's Bad Boy Records. And along the way it was once said, behind every bad boy there's a bad girl. Diddy made sure that female presence on the seminal music label was stacked with talented noisemakers. Though the glory days have passed for some and are on the horizon for others, let’s take a look back at the ladies who rock with Diddy, now and then.
Cassie - When 25 year-old Cassie Ventura gained public attention, it wasn’t in the traditional format, on the radio or even TV—it was on the web. She and producing partner/rumored love-interest Ryan Leslie released the track “Me&U” with a Janet Jackson “Pleasure Principle” inspired video and the moment it went viral. Diddy quickly singed the fresh talent to Bad Boy Records and Cassie was a certified star. Since then, Cassie has been a style maven.  When the stunner tweeted a pic of herself with one side of her head shaved, every girl in town followed suit.  Now Cassie has returned to her modeling roots as the face of Sean John, her new-rumored love interest’s Sean “Diddy” Combs clothing line and Carol’s Daughter.  The singer has dropped a track here and there but we’re still waiting for her new album, to be released on Bad Boy.  (Photo: Courtesy Bad Boy Records)
