Their next charting single, "Rock Yo Hips", was released in August 2006 and was followed by a second album, Hated on Mostly, in March 2007.
Solo career, 2008–present
In November 2007, Diamond left Crime Mob to pursue a solo career. She was conflicted about going solo, feeling bad and feeling like she betrayed the group. She states:
I feel like it’s the best decision to make because the choices and opportunities that was presented in front of me the whole time while I was in the group, I’m able to take that now and not feel bad about it or not feel like I’m being disloyal to the group.
She released a series of mixtapes called Bitch Muzik, and one called P.M.S (Pardon My Swag).
In 2010, Diamond appeared on the remix of Ludacris' "My Chick Bad" along with rappers Trina and Eve.
