The group were originally signed to Roc-A-Fella Records from 2002 to 2004, but are now signed to their own label, Diplomat Records. Each individual artist, however is signed to different record labels.
Many people sometimes get confused after hearing about The Diplomats and Dipset. It's officially stated that Dipset is the movement that consists of over 80 members (Jay Bezel, Max B, Un Kasa, Purple City, The Senate, S.A.S., Chubbie Baby, A-Mafia, Katt Williams, DukeDaGod and others) and The Diplomats is the group that leads the Dipset movement and consists of 9 members (Cam'ron, Jim Jones, Freekey Zekey, Juelz Santana, J. R. Writer, Hell Rell and 40 Cal.)
Recently, 11.09.07, Jha Jha announced in sixshot.com interview that she is forced to leave Dipset movement and The Diplomats crew. "In all actuality, I was never signed to Dipset, we thought we could make something work but nothing as far as a legal binding agreement transpired out of it. We had creative differences so I decided the best thing for my career was to part ways." - she stated. Sixshot also asked does the Dipset fans still show her love and respect and she answered: "Yes they do, but like I said I'm not apart of Dipset nor the Diplomats anymore". [1]
