After becoming stars on Diddy’s MTV reality series Making The Band, Day26′s run at Bad Boy Records has come to an end.

The group has left the label, according to a report from TheBoomBox.com.

“Bad Boy is always our family, but we’re with Atlantic right now,” crooner Willie Taylor told the site, blaming the split on the group’s desire to show that they can make it the industry without the help of unscripted TV.

“We really want to get people focused on the artistry, on the music,” Willie explained. “I think a lot of people lost it with the entertainment of the show. So now, we really want to show people what we’re all about, that we do our thing whether its on stage, in the studio, writing and producing — we do it all.”

Day26 are currently working on their third album.
