History

According to Combs, Diddy – Dirty Money was "a look, a sound, a movement, [and] a crew" and not about "drug money, illegal money, or anything negative ... for my new concept album Last Train to Paris, I wanted to do something refreshing, something unique, something forward for myself as an artist ... I wanted to tell a love story [but] I couldn't just tell the male's point of view." Bad Boy A&R Daniel 'Skid' Mitchell told HitQuarters that Diddy – Dirty Money is creating a new genre of "futuristic soul".{{cite web |url=http://www.hitquarters.com/index.php3?page=intrview/opar/intrview_Daniel_Mitchell_Interview.html |title=Interview With Daniel 'Skid' Mitchell |publisher=HitQuarters|date=October 25, 2010 |access-date=November 10, 2010}}

On July 24, 2010, Diddy – Dirty Money performed at Sun Life Stadium in the Baker Concrete Super Saturday postgame concert following the Florida Marlins' 10–5 loss to the Atlanta Braves.{{Cite web|url=https://www.fishstripes.com/2010/7/24/1586376/fish-wrap-marlins-5-braves-10|title=Fish Wrap - Marlins 5, Braves 10|date=July 24, 2010|website=Fish Stripes}}

Diddy – Dirty Money appeared on NBC's Saturday Night Live on December 4, 2010. That same month, the trio guest performed featured on Timati's single "I'm on You".{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEAaU-oyf2E |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211215/zEAaU-oyf2E |archive-date=December 15, 2021 |url-status=live|title=Timati ft.

Diddy Takes His Last Train To Paris]", MTV, May 19, 2010. Retrieved May 23, 2010. Allmusic called it a "heavily European-influenced effort" that "mashes together Italo disco, pop-rap, tech-house, and the sound of Bad Boy in its prime, with an all-star guest list that goes from T.I. to Grace Jones." The album peaked at number seven on the Billboard 200 and saw overall praise from music critics.{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/last-train-to-paris-r1819601 |title=Last Train To Paris – Diddy-Dirty Money |website= AllMusic |access-date=December 13, 2010}} Four days after its release, they performed the album's biggest single, "Coming Home", as well as Diddy's 1997 single "I'll Be Missing You", for the American Armed Forces at WWE's Tribute to the Troops in Fort Hood, Texas.

The trio performed "Coming Home" and a cover of Far East Movement's "Like a G6" at the Maida Vale Studios, for BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge on January 20, 2011. They also performed "Coming Home" live on American Idol with Skylar Grey on March 10 of that year.

In 2023, the trio returned to perform the song "Deliver Me", featuring Busta Rhymes, from Diddy's fifth album, The Love Album: Off the Grid.{{cite web |url=https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/815276-diddy-dirty-money-group-break-up-explained|date=June 14, 2024|title=What Happened to the Diddy Dirty Money Group?|website=HotNewHipHop.com}}
