Day 26 member Qwanell Mosley better known to us as Que was officially kicked out of the group. Immediately after the news broke, group member Willie decided to hit up his hometown radio station WGCI to give his take on what happened. In short, he mentions Que not showing up to meetings and shows and also mentions the scenes from the MTB4 which depict Que as unhinged.I have to be honest, I never saw Day 26 lasting after Diddy's move to Interscope, so I honestly think that they did Que a favor. The reason I say this is because I watched the last season of Making the Band when Que was being shown as the "out-of-control" group member who was damaging the "brand" that was Day 26. What I saw was someone who was trying to be heard and was getting completely ignored by his group members. I also saw some of the antagonizing that was going on from other group members towards Que. In the end, according to Que he simply asked for new management and an account of the money that was being made because he felt they were not getting their fair share and he ended up receiving his pink slip via a letter from the group's manager Screwface (Why would you let someone with that name manage you in the first place?) which relieved him of his boy band duties. It's interesting to me that the more vocal members of groups are always characterized as out of control and a danger to the brand when most times the truth is they are a lot more serious about the business than the rest and instead of just accepting anything because they want to be out there in the industry, they demand that the business is done right so they are not screwed over in the end.
I won't pretend to know the inside story because I am just like any other fan of the show and group (until now), but I can say that we can't trust the edited MTV series or one group member making a beeline for the radio station to get the whole story. Where are the other group members and what do they have to say about this? I will say at the end of this, I think Que will be the triumphant one out of the situation. He is definitely talented guy,so this is only a bump in the road of his career as far as I am concerned. As far as Day 26 goes, I don't know if I'm interested in hearing anything else from them without Que in the group and I'm sure there are many others who feel the same way. Good luck to them all.
