2005–2008: Danity KaneO'Day was eventually chosen to be in the group, and was the first member included. The band became known as Danity Kane, and their first album debuted on August 22, 2006, at #1 on the Billboard 200 charts. The group was the opening act for Christina Aguilera on the U.S. leg  her Back to Basics Tour with the Pussycat Dolls.
 O'Day's fame and physical features found appealing by magazines helped her broaden her career beyond the group. In addition to other musical projects, she posed for several "sexy" magazine spreads. On the August 28, 2008 episode  Making the Band, due to being consistently frustrated with O'Day's "oversexed" new image, Combs called O'Day "one  the worst dancers" in Danity Kane. He told O'Day that she no longer looked like the girl he signed and that she used to be one  the best. Combs bluntly accused O'Day  trying to expand her fame at the expense  the entire group, and that she liked flaunting her breasts and wearing big hair — referring to an incident where she had rubbed her cleavage on the arm  a television host. Furious, Combs asked himself on television why he was keeping O'Day in the group.
 On the October 7, 2008 episode  Making the Band, after continued debate with O'Day about the well-being  the group, Combs declared O'Day no longer a member  Danity Kane. An ficial announcement, however, had not been made from Bad Boy Records. When asked by Boston Herald whether she was still in the group, O'Day was reluctant to answer and stated, "I can’t comment on anything, I’m sorry."
