Back in 2004 on season 2 episode 10 of Chapelle’s Show, Dave Chapelle spoofed Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ infamous MTV reality competition show, ‘Making the Band,’ where contestants competed for a recording contract with Bad Boys Records.
Chapelle’s skit featured Bad Boy hopeful, rapper Dylan Dili – and they savagely ripped him apart.
Twenty years later Dylan says the joke still haunts him and ruined his fledgling career.
Here’s the Chapelle Show skit that Dylan is upset about.
And here’s Dylan explaining how the jokes weren’t fair – an that he never claimed that he was the greatest rapper – Dave was just being mean.
Making the Band is an ABC/MTV reality television series that exists in separate iterations, each focusing on a specific music act. It spawned musical acts O-Town, Da Band, Danity Kane, Day26, and Donnie Klang. Except for the first iteration of the series featuring O-Town, all seasons of Making the Band have been overseen by Diddy, acting as the man of the house who makes the final decision on who will be in the band.
