Posted August 17, 200520 yr comment_3194510 He has to be the most egotistical human being ever: Rap mogul Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs has unveiled his new stage moniker - he wants to be called just Diddy. Combs - who changed his name from Puff Daddy and Puffy before adopting the name P. Diddy in 2001 - announced his moniker change in New York City yesterday. He tells MTV News, "It's five letters, one word. The name is changed. We made it simpler. We removed the P. The P was getting in between us. We're entering the age of Diddy. A lot of my peeps in music been calling me Diddy, so it's not a drastic change for them. But people around the world didn't know what to call me. We was at (Madison Square Garden) rocking with Jay-Z. The last time I was there, half the crowd was chanting 'P Diddy', half the crowd chanting 'Diddy'. We gonna stop the confusion. 'Diddy. Diddy, Diddy!' Simple. To the point and it sounds strong. It sounds like something is about to happen. It sounds like something is about to go down in history." Combs plans a special "unveiling of Diddy" ceremony when he hosts the MTV Video Music Awards in Miami on August 28. He adds, "You gonna see that in the entrance. You gonna see that swagger. You gonna see how I'm gonna navigate you through the journey." What fucking journey? You changed your fruit-booty stage name to a shorter fruit-booty stage name. There's no fucking journey there.
August 17, 200520 yr comment_3196403 I wouldn't say there hasn't been any journey but I don't feel like taking you through a Sean Combs career retrospective right now. Regardless, we do agree that someone slightly altering their name shouldn't be a big deal or considered newsworthy.
August 18, 200520 yr comment_3199352 Blame the media, not the self promoter that takes advantage of a media that is a slave to "celebrity". His "music" is awful, but the motherfucker is a damn fine business man and promoter of himself and projects he's involved with.
August 18, 200520 yr comment_3201572 I dont know if hes egotisitical or jus plain silly. Im pretty sure its jus for publicity....and cheescake. The man loves his cheesecake.
August 19, 200520 yr Author comment_3209581 The man's had a career, no doubt, I'm just saying that when you want to take someone on a journey of changing your name it might be time to consider shutting the fuck up.

August 28, 200520 yr comment_3286864 I wonder if Notorious B.I.G. was still alive if he'd be Notty by now. Although saying that, if he was still alive Puffy would only be clanking milk bottles and going "Come ooown" rather than naming himself after Donkey Kong's son from an N64 game. MiB, no one takes Puff Daddy seriously except idiots and the people he pays. I personally thought that when the godawful "Bad Boy 4 Life" came out and the video had everyone from Crazytown to Dave Navarro to Ben Stiller, it was pretty clear he was more concerned about being famous than doing anything worth two shits.
