"It's the era of Diddy."
http://news.yahoo.com/s/eo/17162

So proclaimed the hip-hop impresario formerly known as Sean Combs, Puffy, Puff Daddy and now P. Diddy on Tuesday's Today Show, as he explained that he was changing his name once again.

"I felt like the 'P' was getting between me and my fans and now we're closer," Diddy said.


"During concerts, half the crowd is saying 'P. Diddy'--half the crowd is chanting 'Diddy'--now everybody can just chant 'Diddy.' "

"I even started to get confused myself--and when I'd called someone on the telephone it took me a long time to explain who I was. Too long," Diddy told the New York Post.

"One word. Five letters. Period," he added

1. Does he even realize how ridiculous he sounds?
What a self-congratulating clown.

8. Pretentious asshole.
BTW, the dearth of his accomplishments is the probable reason why he didn't submit them as per the literary contract.

10. Redeeming quality: He gives TAFKAP an inferiority complex on the

11. How about Sean? I mean....how about it?
I don't understand this whole "let me have a cool name" thing if the name isn't cool and you change it every five minutes.

Puffy wasn't cool. Neither were any of his other dumb names. Just, ugh.

15. Who cares?
He’s an arrogant women beater, who rips off his artists and has no talent other than making ugly over priced cloths. He won’t be a legend if he keeps sampling.
GET ORIGINAL P. Tiddy!!!!!!
