Diddy – Dirty Money was a group consisting of Sean "Diddy" Combs also known as "Puff Daddy" and "P. Diddy", singer and dancer Dawn Richard and singer and songwriter Kalenna Harper. They were signed to Combs' label Bad Boy Records. The group disbanded in 2012.
According to Combs, Diddy-Dirty Money was "a look, a sound, a movement, [and] a crew" and not about "drug money, illegal money, or anything negative ... for my new concept album Last Train to Paris, I wanted to do something refreshing, something unique, something forward for myself as an artist ... I wanted to tell a love story [but] I couldn't just tell the male's point of view." Bad Boy A&R Daniel 'Skid' Mitchell told HitQuarters that Diddy-Dirty Money is creating a new genre of "futuristic soul".
The group's first album, Last Train to Paris was released in December 2010.Allmusic called it a "heavily European-influenced effort" that "mashes together Italo disco, pop-rap, tech-house, and the sound of Bad Boy in its prime, with an all-star guest list that goes from T.I. to Grace Jones."
On July 24, 2010, Diddy-Dirty Money performed at Sun Life Stadium in the Baker Concrete Super Saturday postgame concert following the Florida Marlins' 10–5 loss to the Atlanta Braves.
Diddy-Dirty Money appeared on NBC's Saturday Night Live on December 4, 2010.
In December 2010, Diddy-Dirty Money was featured in Timati's new song and video "I'm on You".
