Just Diddy
16 August 2005
After all the hype P. Diddy has finally anncounced his new
name, "it's five letters, one word", Diddy!
"The name is changed," he said in the "TRL" greenroom. "We made it simpler. We
removed the P. The P was getting in between us. We're entering the age of 'Diddy.' "
If you're one of the fans or his many friends who were already calling him Diddy,
keep doing what you're doing. Diddy says this is nothing as radical as when he
switched up from Puff Daddy to P. 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 'Did-dee.' We gonna stop
the confusion. 'Did-dee. Did-dee, Did-deee!' 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."
