- “As a precautionary measure to ensure the health of our production crew, talent and aspiring artists, all public auditions for MTV’s ‘Making the Band’ in Charlotte, NC on March 13-14 and New York City on March 21-22 have been canceled,” an MTV representative told TMZ “Safety remains our utmost priority, and we’re continuing to defer to health officials and the CDC for guidance.”

- Those who are hoping to appear on the show will still be able to submit their audition tapes via social media by including the hashtag #MTBcasting.
- “But at the same time, I want to provide opportunity to everyone to audition from their homes,” Diddy explained. “So I’ve put together a team of A&Rs that will be checking #MTBcasting on all social platforms 24/7 to find gems. Everyone be safe! Love.”
