Remember when Bad Boy Records artists, 112, had us singing about “Cupid” and “Peaches n’ Cream” and such? Those were the days when R&B groups still existed and when Diddy was Puffy, with a knack for turning would-be misfits into highly sought after stars. Welp folks, fast forward to today and the only thing that’s misfitted when it comes to 112 now, is a sense of unity among them.
Group member and lead singer, Slim, has just aired out all of their dirty laundry and it looks like they have a LOT of loads to wash, before their laundry is cleansed.
It was just recently that 112 fans were hella excited that Mike, Daron, Q, and Slim were reuniting for The Bad Boy Tour. As of August 2018, that reunion done crumbled quicker than Diddy could say, “I thought I told you that we won’t stop…thought I told you that we won’t stop.”
According to Slim, 112 ‘stopped’ damn near before they restarted. In fact, Slim has just announced that the group is splitting up and that only half of them will be together going forward.
In a wordy online message to their fans, Slim revealed the ongoing drama among them. He spoke of betrayal, lawsuits, and evidently pain. After spending most of their lives together in an R&B brotherhood, it’s clear to see that the brotha is hurt by all of the madness and mayhem goin’ down with his group members.
In his post, he shared text messages that seemed to confirm the groups recent split, stating:
“People these texts were on March 27th-28th. Look at our shows with the timeline it makes sense. For a person to wanna sue the same person who helped you when you were at your worst… no we aren’t bros… be who you are and proud! Don’t hide your fangs and rattle. 🐍🐍🐍 Easy to lie to others, I will expose your ACTIONS. How are you entitled to a brand you’re not loyal to??Hard to excuse when it happens over and OVER AGAIN. Your management/lawyer knows you a few years.. I’VE KNOWN YOU MOST OF YOUR LIFE! Will answer questions at the appropriate time…stay tuned.”
Here’s what else Slim shared in his post…

officialslim_: “People sometimes you’re quiet to protect… noone is perfect, trust me I’m far from it… but I don’t pretend to… IT’S TIME TO BE HONEST ABOUT 112. You want answers? Why do you see only 2 people in performances? As you see in these texts especially the first two is very self-explanatory, my text is the last. I’m for the brand. I never left it, never cheated it… Part of being a leader is humbleness. Putting others before self for the brand. Just how I’m built… Ironically the same guys who broke the group up before are at it again and although it’s easy to walk away and pick up solo situations or investments it would be unfair to at least give a hint in what’s going on. I did that after the 5th album when this happened before… egos and mistrust amongst the members both business and personal caused that too. A person who only is around me because of a contract ain’t worthy of calling me a brother. Brotherhood was broken in 03-04, parties know why and I was honest in where I stand so STOP LYING ABOUT FRIENDSHIPS… it’s bizness. Unlike others I came back to brand for the fans and culture. In fact I RISKED EVERYTHING in what I believed. Not going to allow it again for members to run brand in the ground…AGAIN. The brand is in good hands. Just like the great groups I look up to that maybe changes faces but NEVER the integrity of the brand I’m gonna fight for the same with 112. People these texts were on March 27th-28th. Look at our shows with the timeline it makes sense. For a person to wanna sue the same person who helped you when you were at your worst… no we aren’t bros… be who you are and proud!

Guess this explains why in recent months there have only been two 112 members performing, Slim and Mike:
