Updating a previous story, I've located some more information on Myxx, thanks to commenter myxx fan.
Myxx has an official website. As you can see, no mention of Bad Boy. Ashley Phillips has an official site, as well. Again, no mention of Bad Boy. Both acts, as well as B5, are managed by Jamm Entertainment.
According to this fan site, the girls from Myxx and the guys from B5 are cousins. So, relation, same management, etc... that got them to Diddy's listening party and someone at the site mentioned in my earlier article could have assumed/mislabeled the photos on the site. I don't know with absolutely certainty, either way, but if they were on Bad Boy, they'd be trumpeting it, most likely and they're not, so there you go.
The first ever BET Hip Hop Awards nominees have been announced. Bad Boy is all over it.
"It's Goin' Down" by Yung Joc is nominated for Hip Hop Video of the Year and Hip Hop Track of the Year while Yung Joc himself is up for Rookie of the Year, Hip Hop MVP of the Year and Best Live Performance. His dance, Jocin', seems to be labeled "Motorcycle" and is up for the Element Award: Hip Hop Dance of the Year.
Diddy is up for Hip Hop Hustler of the Year.
The directors of the "Spit Ya Game" (Dr. Teeth) and "Nasty Girl" (Sanaa Hamri) are up for the Element Award: Video Director of the Year. Nitti, the producer of "It's Goin' Down" and "I Know You See It" is up for the Element Award: Producer of the Year.

Similar to the deal that was done with YouTube, Download Squad reports that Warner Music Group is doing the same with Google Video.
This week's The Billboard Hot 100 chart has "Show Stopper" rising from #17 to #16, "I Know You See It" falling from #19 to #22, "Come to Me" rising from #29 to #28, "Me & U" falling from #34 to #42 and "It's Goin' Down" falling from #45 to #46.
This week's SoundScan numbers are in. Danity Kane is in at #28 with 30,600 units sold. That puts them at 613,800 overall. Yung Joc is at #64 with 15,500 (763,000 overall). Cassie is down to #129 with 7,800 (237,000).
Typos are fine. I understand that. But, typos can't be continued over and over again. I cannot tell you how many times I have seen "Keisha Cole" in copy released by Bad Boy, Atlantic Records and related entities. I understand how this mistake can be made... but, when you are a company responsible for the release, putting out promotional material, you need to spell the artists' names right. It's crazy how many times I've seen this!
This week "Show Stopper" is up one spot from #18 to #17. "I Know You See It" leaves that #17 spot, dropping to #19. "Come to Me" stays strong, raising itself 1 spot to #29. "Me & U" fell another 5 spots to #34. "It's Goin' Down" also fell 3 to #45.
Danity Kane is the top selling Bad Boy album this week as they moved 39,000 units (583,000 overall), coming in at #21. Yung Joc is next with 17,000 (748,000) at #54. Cassie is in at #115, selling 9,000 copies (230,000). It appears that Christian Daniel failed to chart in his first week, meaning that he sold 4,613 copies or less.
LatinRapper.com has an interview with Pitbull. He talks about Bad Boy Latino.
The label Bad Boy Latino made a lot of news when it was announced that you were involved, but we haven't heard anything lately. What's the present situation?
Present story with that, basically what I do for them is like nonexclusive consultant. If I want to bring them an artist, or whatever. But they're launching their first artist now, Emilio and Diddy, named Christian Daniel. You'll be hearing about the kid, he's got great music. As far as everything that went on there, I got an opportunity to work with two men that I idolize, honor and respect as far as business. There were just certain ideas where we didn't see eye to eye. I just said, other than us bumping heads, why not just do it like this. That's the situation I got myself into with Bad Boy Latino.
So you're sort of an A&R?
Not an A&R... Yeah, I guess you can call it that.

Just a little factoid:
During his freshman year in Cardinal Spellmen High School in the Bronx, YoungLord caught the attention of one of the hottest producers in the industry, music mogul, Sean “P-Diddy" Combs. Impressed with his talent and age Diddy signed YoungLord to his production team, "The Hit Men" in November 1994.
