My jaw dropped when I saw these flawless photos from Derek Blanks’ recent photo shoot with rapper Diamond, formerly of Crime Mob. Derek transformed her form a diamond in the rough to a radiant beauty!
Earlier I posted this video from Derek’s shoot and the response was very positive.
As you know, Diamond left Crime Mob in 2007, and she recently signed a management deal with Ciara’s former manager Philana Williams. Now Diamond is in the studio working hard on her new solo project.

She has always been a cute female but her style was raunchy.
I love her pictures. She looks very beautiful.
Derek Blanks is a true photographer. I love his work!!
Hello all. Sandra, there’s a mistake in this posting. It should read “transformed her from”. Peace.
Good Morning!
I saw her at the gym a few weeks ago.
Nice pics
She’s always been a pretty girl, just needed to be polished. I still see “the hood” tryna peek out though. LOL
I agree, nice pics!
She almost looks like Ciara when she first came out. Nice pics though.
She has always been a pretty young woman, but now she’s a pretty grown woman. Good for you, sista girl
I just wish she’s pick a different hair color b/c looking similar to Ciara’s masculinity is NOT a good look…
TYPO- “she’d”
She has always been pretty, those pics are hawt!
OMG!!! She looks beautiful. This is a look worth keeping.
Morning All!
I like these pics of her! I wish that there was just one with a smile on it – she’s a very pretty girl.
gm all. i never thought that i would ever say that diamond looks nice. . derek blanks is the man .
She was always a cute girl to me…just needed to find her style. But these pics are very pretty. I want a Derek Blanks photoshoot!!
Shes’ channeling Monica in that first photo. she’s always been a pretty girl, that blond hair is just horrible. Aren’t bandage dresses supposed to be tight? Poor Bony baby!
Derek Blaks is good – I’ve never seen him make anyone look bad – YOU GO BOY!
Blanks – my bad
Airbrushed ..nicely crafted pics … all them dayum tats should have been airbrushed too …
Still not a fan of Cubic-Zirconium ….
Ok, Ok….NOW SEE DIAMOND….this is what we are talking about…I KNOW WE TALK SHYT, and usually we don’T mean “MUCH” HARM (lol), but when we say enough people start to LISTEN. THIS is the potential we always felt you had, but letting those lil ghetto stylist get you in ORDER for red carpet events was just NOT the business. Whoever hooked you up for this photo shoot did pretty good. I will even let you get away with the silver spanks and python heels!! Nice WOrk Derek!
I hope she can do something to bring FEMALE HIP HOP back.
aINT NEVER BEEN SHYT
aINT GONNA BE SHYT
She looks nice for once…but still hood
She looks so nice! Awwwww
Simply GORGEOUS!!! She looks all types of fab in these pics…do it Diamond!!!
her transformation is absolutely amazing…she looks gorgeous….i thought ciara’s old manager was Diamond’s manager now….she is doing great with Diamond. beautiful
Dayum DIAMOND doesn’t look so HOODRATISH…she look purrtyy!!
the power of weave and makeup! but she does look really nice. she has come a long way.
She looks really good I had to go back up just to make sure that was diamond…Keep those styles right there don’t go back to the hood stuff
Wooooooooooow, she looks really good. She looks…….. clean (is that a compliment). She usually looks dirty, greasy. She has a fresh face (even though she has on hella makeup). Very nice pics
DAYUM!! that Blanks dude is a helluva photographer. Didnt notice his name at first, I was so shocked by the pics
Look at Diamond all cleaned up!!!! Good Job
well nobody ever said she wasn’t attractive. she got a nice ass body man. hmmm.
