Last week, Diddy announced his latest signing to Bad Boy Records. Early in his career, Diddy had made Bad Boy into the top hip hop record label. In the years since, however, Bad Boy Records has struggled.

In an effort to end the stagnation, Diddy decided to move the label from Atlantic Records to Interscope Records. At the time, Diddy said he was going to develop Red Cafe` focal point of the label. But, it has taken two years for things to get going.

Last year, Diddy released his final album before returning to the office full-time. Recently, he decided to sign Cleveland rapper, Machine Gun Kelly. The label has signed several pop artists before, but they have never signed a white rapper. Dr. Dre had great results when he signed Eminem in 1998.

Recently, Machine Gun Kelly discussed signing with Bad Boy Records. Diddy intends to mold his latest signing into Bad Boy's new flagship artist. Machine Gun Kelly said he is not trying to fill the shoes of the past stars of Bad Boy Records. Instead, Machine Gun Kelly is trying to build his own legacy at Bad Boy. During his interview, Machine Gun Kelly announced a new era at Bad Boy Records.
