It looks like a Danity Kane reunion may be in the works — but without one of its original members, Dawn Richard.
The beloved R&B-Pop girl group, formed on Making The Band in 2005, has been teasing a 20th anniversary reunion, and recent activity has fans buzzing. Mysterious posts and rumored tour dates appearing on ticketing platforms have reignited excitement about the group’s long-awaited comeback.
However, the anticipation has been tempered by a surprising revelation from Dawn Richard herself.
Dawn Richard Says She’s Not Involved
Responding to a fan’s inquiry about whether she’d be part of the reunion, Dawn made it clear she’s not involved — and seemingly wasn’t even aware of the plans.
In her words:
“I am not apart of this. I have not heard about it nor knew about it. Sending everyone love.”
Her candid response quickly made rounds on social media, leaving many fans disappointed, especially since Richard has been an integral part of every previous Danity Kane reunion.
A Look Back at Danity Kane’s Legacy
Danity Kane — originally composed of Aubrey O’Day, Dawn Richard, Aundrea Fimbres, Shannon Bex, and D. Woods — rose to fame after being formed by Diddy on MTV’s Making The Band 3.
The group achieved massive success in the mid-2000s with hits like “Show Stopper” and “Damaged,” earning Platinum certifications and topping the Billboard 200 chart with their first two albums.
Over the years, the group disbanded and reunited several times, often with varying lineups. Their most recent return saw them perform as a trio consisting of O’Day, Bex, and Richard.
Who’s Returning This Time?
With Dawn Richard out, it remains to be seen which members will take part in the upcoming reunion tour. Given that she was part of every prior reunion, her absence marks a notable change in the group’s dynamic.
Still, the nostalgia surrounding Danity Kane’s 20th anniversary is undeniable. Fans are eager to see if Aubrey O’Day, Shannon Bex, and other original members will come together to celebrate the era-defining legacy that made them household names.
