LOS ANGELES: Rap star Sean 'P. Diddy Combs has unveiled his new stage name - a short and simple Diddy.
According to the Internet Movie Database, he had first changed his name from Puff Daddy and Puffy before adopting the name P. Diddy in 2001. He told 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.

You beat me to it.........I thought for sure he was changing to Do-Wah-Diddy.
"...How about "Diddly"?..."
How about Sean Combs?
How bout R.I.P. Diddy?
wow. i'm surprised the AP wire hasn't been going nuts here at work with that important information. or maybe the fox news gong.
wow.
think i'll go take a shower.
I knew what to call him, and it wasn't Diddy.
I can't believe I'm on this thread. Since I'm here there is something I'd like to ask of these rappers, why is it you change your names to these bizzare monickers? Are you THAT insecure with yourselves? Sooner or later, one of them are going to use their real name and that will be unusual.

Hey Sean, Puff Daddy was an okay nickname. All the subsequent changes have sounded stupider and stupider.

I completely disregard those who use "peeps" as a term for "people" anyway.....he can call himself Dogg-Waste, for all I care....
This thread may need more cowbell.
I would suggest shortening "Diddy" even more ...
Just call him "Duh!!!"
I like, Crap Diddy
I was thinking the same.
They can't use their REAL names. Their parole officer will find them.

THAT'S MINE!!
Maybe if he keeps shortening his name, he will disappear altogether. (one could only hope)
