July 25, 2009 - In preparation for the release of his new LP Last Train to Paris, mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has announced the formation of the new band Dirty Money. The trio consists of Combs, former Danity Kane member Dawn Richard, and songwriter Kalenna. Diddy confirmed the group’s existence and laid out the focus of the trio for his upcoming projects. “Dirty Money is not about no drug money, illegal money, or anything negative,” Combs explained.

“Dirty Money is a look, a sound, a movement, [and] a crew. For my new album Last Train to Paris, I wanted to do something refreshing, something unique, something forward for myself as an artist…I’m a team player. I wanted to tell a love story…I couldn’t just tell the male’s point of view.”

The concept LP will detail the story of a man’s (Diddy) tumultuous relationship with a woman whom is presented as his soulmate. Last Train to Paris will be Diddy’s fifth studio album and has a target release date of November 24.
