We have now entered “The Love Era” of Sean Combs, formerly Diddy.
Since his rise as an unpaid intern to superstar music and entrepreneurial mogul, Diddy has had name changes throughout his career. In the 90s, he was known by three monikers: Puff, Puffy, or Puff Daddy. Following a revitalized image, he opted for P. Diddy and entered into a new era of Bad Boy. In the late 2000s, he got rid of the P and has since been Diddy.
Well, that recently changed over the past couple of years. Now it is official and looks like it is a permanent change. He took to social media for the announcement, while also displaying a book of each of his monikers throughout his legendary career.

Instead of retiring the names, he is simply transitioning from it. Each name represented a persona, fitting for the time. With “The Love Era,” the Bad Boy mogul looks to continue to spread positive vibrations and the zen-like energy of serenity. He has also continued to promote a number of young talent in their respective spaces.
Most recently, Justin LaBoy and comedian, Druski, scored shows on Diddy’s network, Revolt TV. What do you think of Sean “Love” Comb’s new name? Do you think it is permanent?

The best hotels, anything he wanted. He been there from zero day,” the man said.

On this date in 1998, Sheek Louch, Styles P., and Jadakiss, who are better known as the rap trio The L.O.X. (Living Off Experience), dropped their debut album on then-Puff Daddy’s steadily growing Bad Boy label. Following in the footsteps of artists like Craig Mack and Notorious B.I.G., the Yonkers collective had to go the extra length to prove themselves worthy to carry the Bad Boy legacy and that they have done and continue to do.
With production on this project from the likes of Swizz Beatz, D. Dot, Dame Grease and Mr. Combs himself, there was very little chance that this project flop. Even with the shiny suits, the lyrical content and dexterity were on point from all three members, solidifying their slots as lyrical legends in their own rights coming into the new millennium. Tracks like “If You Think I’m Jiggy” and the album’s epic title track were both perfect fusions of street anthems with crossover appeal, which allowed the LOX a fanbase on both sides of the mainstream “boundary”.
Thanks to Diddy, D-Block and the entire Bad Boy staff who helped to put together this timeless classic!

Diddy’s southern California home was broken into last week. Although cops did not confirm the identity of the victim, Diddy owns a home on that block.
TMZ reported that burglars appeared to rummage through the house after getting in through a side door. Los Angeles Police responded to a burglary investigation last Thursday at a house on a Woodbridge St. block in Toluca Lake, an officer confirmed to the Daily News. The Hip Hop mogul owns a home on that block.
It’s unclear if anyone was home at the time of this report, but TMZ reports that a caretaker discovered the break-in.
Police officers said they responded to the investigation at 1:38 p.m. last Thursday. The home in Toluca Lake is where Diddy’s former girlfriend, Kim Porter, was found dead at age 47 in November 2018. The late Porter’s cause of death was later learned to be pneumonia, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner.
The story is still being investigated and developed. Furthermore, nothing has been reported missing from the household.
