Freddy P, a member of the 2000s group Da Band, formed on Making the Band by Sean "Diddy" Combs, recently dropped an intriguing behind-the-scenes detail on theArt of Dialogue podcast. In one of the show's most infamous episodes, the group was tasked with walking across New York City to fetch a cheesecake. According to Freddy P, that cheesecake wasn’t just any dessert — it was for none other than Beyoncé.
"Fun fact. A lot of people don't know that the cheesecake we went and got, it was for Beyoncé. She was upstairs the whole time," Freddy revealed during the interview. Beyoncé had recently split from the legendary R&B group Destiny's Child at the time, embarking on her solo career.
In the video, Freddy P even mentioned that he would have gladly made the trek again for her saying, "It was for Beyonce. I'd do it again," chuckling as he reminisced about the moment. This lighthearted statement quickly sparked reactions online.
Social Media Reactions
Freddy P’s revelation set social media ablaze, with fans and critics chiming in with their opinions. One commenter didn’t hold back and said, “I’d do it again? You sound crazy. I wish I would walk to get cheesecake for Beyoncé KNOWINGLY. Y'all put these m*therfuckers on a pedestal. Ain’t none of them above me.”
Another fan took a different angle, viewing the task as more than just a reality TV stunt, writing, “That was a humiliation ritual. They really need to sue Diddy for that.”
Other commenters seemed suspicious of Beyoncé's role in the situation. "Beyoncé was in on that cheesecake sh*t" one user suggested, implying the singer might have been aware of the drama unfolding.
However, not everyone was sympathetic. One frustrated commenter wrote, "I don’t give a f*ck if it was for Beyoncé or a starving village. I’m not walking to get it. That village and Beyoncé can kick rocks."
Memorable Episode
The cheesecake episode remains one of the most talked-about moments from Making the Band, where Diddy put the aspiring artists through a series of tough challenges to test their dedication. Freddy P’s recent revelation adds a new layer to the story, with Beyoncé’s involvement adding star power to the anecdote.
The episode, long seen as a symbol of how the music industry can test the limits of aspiring artists, continues to spark debates on what some see as unnecessary hazing or even humiliation.
