Singer Donnie Klang has split from Diddy's Bad Boy Entertainment record label three years after he was discovered by the rap mogul.
Klang released a solo album in 2008 after winning Diddy's TV talent show Making The Band.
He tells Billboard.com he is now working with music executives at independent label Eight72 Entertainment.
Klang insists there are no bad feelings between himself and Diddy, but adds, "It's tough being on a label where the president of the label is also an artist."
