Matthew also owned the DC name well still owns it. I think he made everyone sign a management deal right before they signed to Columbia, giving him full control. That's why it was so easy for him to kick them out without skipping a beat. I think each member of 5H just now owns their name. (side note, that's why Diddy kept Dawn from Danity Kane a lil longer, she came up with the name and owned it. Also the reason why the two blondes had to make a new group name, because they don't own the DK name, Dawn does.)
