The Bad Boy Family Reunion Tour was a joint concert tour headlined by Puff Daddy and featured various past and present artists from Bad Boy Entertainment.[1] The tour earned $117.5 million from 19 shows, selling 1,208,508 tickets.[2] It was Diddy's final tour.

Background

[edit]

To commemorate the label's 20th anniversary, Combs reunited with his former and current Bad Boy Family artists at the 2015 BET Awards for an all-star medley performance of the collective's many hits along with a new single, "Finna Get Loose" (with a special appearance from Pharrell Williams).

In April 2016, Combs announced a two-night Bad Boy Family Reunion show on May 20 & 21 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York City, which was also in commemoration of the late Notorious B.I.G.'s 44th birthday. The first show included performances from Combs, Mase, Faith Evans, 112, Total, The Lox, Carl Thomas, Lil' Kim, French Montana, Mario Winans, Cassie, Black Rob, Lil' Cease and Red Cafe. Special guest performances included Jay-Z, Nas, Usher, Mary J. Blige and Rick Ross.[3] The second night special guest included Busta Rhymes, Fabolous, Desiigner, 2 Milly, DMX and Ty Dolla Sign.[4]

In May 2016, a full tour was announced to begin August 2016.[5] However, Combs suffered a shoulder injury and the tour was pushed back to September 2016.[6]

Speaking on the tour, Combs stated:

"This isn't just a concert—this is a moment in hip-hop and R&B history. The family and I are so excited to welcome fans into this once in a lifetime experience. This tour is 20 years in the making, and is a celebration of the hits and the Bad Boy lifestyle. The Bad Boy Family has set the standard for concert excellence, and this tour will be a testament to that!"[7]

Critical reception

[edit]

The tour received critical praise during its tenure in North America. Jewel Wicker (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution) called the show in Atlanta "insanely fun". She goes on to say: "But for nearly three hours Diddy and the acts he helped to become famous put on a seemingly endless show full of the massive party anthems and sexy love songs that defined Bad Boy Records' reign. Referring to the concert as a 'homecoming' show, the flashy star emphasized from the beginning that he was rolling out the red carpet for 'his second home'".[8]

The performance in Miami was compared to a family reunion cookout. Tony Centeno (Miami New Times) states: "It hasn't always been a smooth road for Bad Boy, but they've found a way to survive. And they've continued to heed the advice of Biggie's mother, Voletta Wallace, who once had a bit of advice for her son in the intro to 'Sky's The Limit'". The show in Tampa was described as "wholly unnecessary but welcomed".[9] Jay Cridlin of the Tampa Bay Times says: "He ain't Drake, but his Family Reunion was a comprehensive retrospective of a generation's worth of signature singles, a two-plus-hour hit parade that reminded everyone just why he once owned the top of the pops. [...] No, Diddy doesn't really need the Bad Boy Family Reunion in 2016. But it's something only he could've pulled off. Sway like that, even money can't buy".[10]

Maura Johnston of The Boston Globe states the show in Boston took patrons on a retro ride to the 90s. She continues: "The nostalgia baked into the tracks he opened the show with helped, too. As Puff Daddy, Combs strung together a slew of pop-rap hits that flipped radio chestnuts into tableaus for his and his friends' boasts, sounding bright in a way that recalls a sweltering summer day when time, space, and, yes, sound, melt into one another".[11] The concert in Las Vegas received four out of five stars from the Las Vegas Weekly. Mike Pizzo writes: " Without a doubt, the Bad Boy Family Reunion Tour will go down in history as one of the greatest hip-hop concerts of all time. You may have hated him back then, but you can't hate him now".[12]

This event underscored the enduring for Bad Boy's shiny suit era and its role in popularizing East Coast rap, inspiring Combs to expand the reunion into a full-scale tour production. The tour's origins were first teased in March 2016 with the announcement of two initial concert dates at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, on May 20 and 21, strategically timed to coincide with the posthumous 44th birthday of The Notorious B.I.G. on May 21. These shows served as a tribute to the late rapper, a cornerstone of Bad Boy's legacy, and quickly sold out, prompting the addition of a second night due to demand.
