Master P Does a Diddy
Posted in Diddy, Rapper on the August 20, 2008
Diddy called and he wants his gimmick back. According to a new press release, you can say goodbye to Master P and say hello to P. Miller. The rapper says “I am changing my name because Master P is who I used to be, I call it my childhood and P. Miller marks my manhood… There are a lot of people out there, who are afraid to grow up and change, but I’m not and P. Miller is the evolution of me, Percy Miller the entrepreneur, the businessman.” You just have to love what people in Hollywood do for just a little bit of publicity.
Diddy Puffs Again
Posted in Diddy, Hip-Hop, Remix, Singers on the June 12, 2008
The king of the name change is at it again as he is seemingly not yet satisfied with changing his name for the nth time. Sean John Combs doesn’t have a new name for us though. He has resorted to being old school – or maybe unoriginal is more like it. The man we more recently know as Diddy is bringing Puff Daddy back. On his MySpace page, the entertainment mogul wrote “This is your boy Puff Daddy!!! Yes Puffy Daddy, the King of the Remix is back with O’Neal Mcknight and Jermaine Dupri on the ‘Check Your Coat Remix’!!! Visit my myspace page to listen to it NOW.†On the song, he raps “They call me Puff Daddy…. he’s back. Yeah you heard me right. I said Puff Daddy. I’m about to back on that Puff Daddy shit.â€
Stars turn out for Diddy’s White Party
Posted in Celebs, Diddy, Hip-Hop, Music, Music People, News on the September 3, 2007
White was the dress code at a star-saturated party thrown by Sean “Diddy” Combs at his Long Island home, and the dress code was strictly enforced.
The hip-hop mogul’s annual White Party, which he has held in St. Tropez in recent years, featured a white carpet to go along with the white dress code.
“This party is up there with the top three that I’ve thrown,” Combs said. “It’s a party that has legendary status. It’s hard to throw a party that lives up to its legend.”
Mariah Carey, Busta Rhymes, Donna Karan, Ashley Olsen, Star Jones and Tommy Lee were among the guests.
But those who failed to abide by the dress code found themselves told to change, including the wife of Billy Joel, Katie Lee. She had gone to the party dressed in a shade of cream, but that did not win over Combs’ fashion police. Turned away, she opted to go home.
Combs wore white sneakers with silver detailing, a white shirt and pants and a gold medallion.
Diddy Turns To Cyberspace For Secretary
Posted in Celebs, Diddy, Hip-Hop, Music, Music People, News, Video, YouTube on the July 19, 2007
None of the big players in the music industry wanna work with music mogul Sean Diddy which is why the singer has had to resort to look out for a new secretary in cyberspace (I do not mean outer space but he is finding one on the internet). Diddy has posted a message on MySpace and has asked applicants wanting to land the job to send in a three minute video interview detailing just why they should be picked. And the video interviews are already pilling in, for not only have 20 been left on video sharing web site YouTube, but also on his MySpace page. Just 20 applications to work with the music industry’s leading celebrity is really not what should have been for real, there should have been scores of people wanting to work with him, if his popularity is anything to go by. It will be interesting to see who this personal assistant turns out to be and what are the work duties that they shall have to perform. Soon will might also need to ask for applications for a chef to take care of his diet needs if keeps smoking all the time.
Free Rides Cost More than 50 Cent

Life’s hard when you’re a multi-platinum, multi-millionaire, record label-owning, clothing-ling designing, hip hop mogul. Just ask 50 Cent. He’s had to cut off throwing money at the artists on his label.
50 has ended up being the gravy train over at G-Unit Records. In years past, he’s bailed his artists out of poor financial decisions and paid for the huge entourages and rides but it all comes to an end.
No more slacking off fellas. You’re boss is pinching every penny he’s got. Maybe it’s because he hasn’t had a good hit either. After all, he’s not P. Diddy or Kanye West.

Diddy Says Cassie Hasn’t Been Dropped — She’s Just Busy With Kanye, Pharrell
Posted in Diddy, Kanye West, New LP, Song, Video on the June 27, 2007
‘When you’re a label, you have to be with people through good times and bad times,’ mogul says of singer’s rough patch.
Diddy says he didn’t drop Cassie. While replying about all the rumors on the urban-music blogs that started sprouting last week saying that singer/model Cassie had been released from Bad Boy Records.
“Cassie’s definitely not dropped from Bad Boy,” Sean Combs said on the L.A. set of a video for his next Press Play single, “Through the Pain” (see “Diddy Shows Off New Stuff From Yung Joc — And Himself, Of Course — At NYC Event”).
“She’s in the studio [working on her next album]. So many people are excited to be working with her. … She was just in the studio with Kanye West. She’s going to be doing some stuff with Pharrell. People really understand that she does have some talent and it takes some time to mold it. Everybody’s not perfect. I think she had some rough shows, just being nervous. Sometimes people have to break out of that.”
In addition to recording her next LP on Diddy’s label, Cassie is also one of the new spokes models for the Sean John women’s collection, along with “ATL” actress Lauren London. “It’ll be out in the next four weeks,” Diddy said of the line.
“Through the Pain” was the first of two videos Combs shot this week. On Thursday (June 21) he goes in front of the camera for “Diddy Rock.”
