Season 3, Episode 1 (2004)
At the end of the last season, Da Band were schmoozing the music press, impressing them with their personalities and music. Now, they are releasing their album to the public and hitting the road. P. Diddy warns Da Band that this is when it gets difficult to stay together as a group, because a demanding tour schedule and being away from family and friends can take its toll on young stars. Call P. Diddy a prophet, but the issues begin almost immediately. Sara finds out her mother is going into surgery and decides she needs to go home even though Da Band have a show that night. Chopper isn't very sympathetic and thinks they should leave only for life and death situations. Regardless of the lack of support, Sara catches the next plane home, leaving her band mates to perform without her. Chopper and Fred make up for Sara's absence from the show by bringing girls on stage to shake their tailfeather. To show their appreciation, they invite the girls to party with them that night. Apparently,
Season 3, Episode 2 (2004)
Half of Da Band head to the V-103 FM Atlanta Radio Show. Dylan, Chopper and Fred are MIA and the remaining band members are freakin'. With only seconds to spare, Chopper and Fred roll up. Dylan still isn't there but the show must go on with or without him. They continue touring and performing across the country--without Dylan. Babs observes, Dylan thinks he's Bob Marley; he's going to go do Bob Marley things. While his band is working, Dylan is doin' his Bob Marley thing in Brooklyn because he can't violate his probation. Diddy thinks he's just lazy and is making excuses. Since money wouldn't be important to Bob Marley, they split up the cash that Dylan would have gotten if he had actually shown up and they go on a spending spree. Da Band head back to the Big Apple to shoot a video for their second single, Tonight. Diddy rolls up to make an appearance in the video and surprisingly so does Dylan. His band mates aren't thrilled and neither is Diddy. Diddy has a meeting with Da Band at Ba
Season 3, Episode 3 (2004)
Da Band continues to tour with all of its' band members. Their patience with each other is starting to wear very thin--especially between Sara and her smoking band mates. They feel that she's always running late and holdin' them up. Sara can't stand them ""smoking her up"" all the time. Her voice was ""touched by God"" and even if everyone else smokes, she's not letting the majority win. She doesn't get sympathy from her band mates, or Jason--not even Diddy. He shoots down her complaint in their meeting, which leaves her feeling humiliated. She doesn't see herself as weak but Diddy thinks that he needs to toughen her up because ""life ain't easy."" Hopefully life will be a bit easier for Sara now that they've moved to Daddy's House. Watch out, Park Avenue!
Season 3, Episode 4 (2004)
Even though Da Band have enjoyed a lot of quick fame and success, they still owe their fans a good show. Diddy complains their performances are lackluster, and immediately takes action. He enrolls Da Band in the ""Sean Combs school of showmanship,"" where as professor Diddy, he shows them some tricks that he's picked up while being a ""great, incredible superstar."" He expects them to use what they learn in their next show--in Alabama. While they're preparing to leave for their concert, Sara learns that her daughter Eva has pneumonia. Her band mates are pissed to find out that she wants to miss the show. But it looks like she won't be the only no show. Dylan also can't go because he has ""meeting with his lawyer"" and can't postpone it. Chopper knows he's lying, he can feel it. Here we go again. Luckily, their tour manager Jason finds Sara a flight home after the concert so she won't miss the show. Sara says that she doesn't want to hear anything negative from Fred. Chopper relays the messag
Season 3, Episode 5 (2004)
Da Band are living with Diddy, and it ain't pretty. Their Park Ave crib is a total mess ‘cause no one is cleaning it. Diddy stops in for a surprise inspection at 4:15 a.m. while everyone is sleeping. While munching on some cereal, he tells them they're some ""stinky nasty ass heathens"" and they better get cleaning. He needs a break from Da Band and decides it's time they go back on the road. Da Band head to Detroit, Sara's hometown, to make an appearance for Coats for Kids. While at their hotel, Chopper riles up some young fans and has them chase him through the hotel. Being the equal opportunity party crasher that he is, Chopper crashes a ""convention with a whole bunch of white people"" in it. The hotel manager is less than pleased. As they continue to tour, Chopper's behavior gets more out of control. Diddy thinks that he's ""setting himself up for a downfall"" because fame can be a drug--a very addictive drug. Chopper doesn't see it that way and wants to please his fans. ""I'd want to se
