E. Ness shed light on Da Band's notable yet controversial deal with Bad Boy Entertainment, revealing that the original contract was worth $75,000 total, split among the six group members. Despite the figure being a sum of $12,500 per person, after accounting for manager fees, lawyer cuts, and taxes, the actual takeaway proved to be less than practical for the artists. E. Ness recounted the misconceptions of fame and fortune that surrounded him post-reality show appearance, emphasizing that viewers assumed a level of financial success that was, in reality, not there.
Clarifying previous statements, E. Ness acknowledged the complexities of their contract, which involved a partnership between his production company, Black Key Productions, and Bad Boy, hinting at legal disputes that marred the process. Despite significant hurdles, Da Band's album "Too Hot for TV" achieved a major impact upon release, debuting at number one on Billboard.
