Diddy might’ve had a lot of sex advice for James Corden on Carpool Karaoke. But do you know what else the entertainer has a lot of? Businesses. During his recent surprise appearance at the music festival, Something In The Water, he presented his vodka company, Ciroc. On Monday, May 1, the producer used his appearance at the 2023 Met Gala to promote his clothing brand, Sean John.

While being interviewed by his longtime friend, actress Lala, Diddy was asked to detail his look for the evening. “This is Sean John’s [Met Gala] debut, as you can see. First time I designed in 10 years, and we’re feeling good,” he said.

Diddy also told Lala that the look was designed along with his longtime collaborator and respected stylist and designer, June Ambrose.

Back in 2016, Diddy sold a majority stake in the company to Global Brands Group Holding Ltd. However, in July 2021, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, resulting in the brand and its other assets being auctioned.

Now, according to Forbes, Diddy recently won his bid to regain a majority stake. During the earlier 2000s, the brand gained mainstream popularity and was prominently placed throughout several of his music videos. Diddy was also photographed wearing the line at many hip-hop events.

Yung Miami Shoots Down The ‘Pee Diddy’ Golden Shower Rumor — And The Couple’s Unofficial Relationship

Yung Miami and Diddy’s relationship has been the subject of fascination across the internet for months, but the City Girl really caused a stir in January after making a salacious confession on her podcast Caresha Please. When Miami told her guest Trina that she enjoys the occasional “golden shower,” fans dubbed Sean Combs “Pee Diddy,” assuming that he shared her proclivities.

However, in a new interview with The Cut (with thanks to Billboard for the spot), Miami shot down the rumor — and seemingly confessed to the end of the relationship, just three months after the couple went “Instagram Official” in January.

“I never said he was the one I did that with,” she explained. “Sex is a part of life. I’m grown, and maybe I talk about it too much, but everybody’s got their personal experiences. Some people get sh–ted on. Some people live life on the edge, some people boring as f*ck. I watch a lot of porn, b*tches get peed on.”

But regarding the wider implications of her and Diddy’s recent public gallivanting, she was a little more circumspect. “We’re still friends!” she stressed. “We’re still good friends! But we’re single. That’s not my man. We had our own situation, I’m not gonna put a title on it. We were f–king with each other hard. We were together every day at one point. He supported me, I supported him. I’ll let the internet call it whatever they want to call it.”

Diddy has yet to respond, but as he’s an active Twitter user, a statement may not be too far off.

Today is the 26th anniversary of The Notorious B.I.G.‘s death, and social media is awash in posts praising the Brooklyn rapper’s impact and legacy. Of course, that includes B.I.G.’s friend and business partner, Sean “Diddy” Combs, who shared a throwback video of B.I.G. giving some motivational advice in an old interview alongside the caption,”There will NEVER be another. The GREATEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME. Today we celebrate and honor you king. Love and miss you!!”

In the video, Biggie explains the importance of remaining true to yourself. “Don’t be the fool to just sit back and do it because somebody else is doing it,” he says. “Because those of you who do just gon’ follow in somebody else’s footsteps, and you just gon’ be a shadow. Who wanna be a shadow for the rest of their life. If you got a lil’ something’ that you know how to do, progress that and keep trying. I mean, God knows what could happen. That’s what I did. Just kept on walking, just happened to get to the right ends.”

Even though so much time has passed since The Notorious B.I.G. was gunned down in Los Angeles, his peers and contemporaries never seem to get tired of talking about him and his game-changing effect on hip-hop. Recently, Usher called Big “the most profound talent I think I’ve ever seen in an MC.” Meanwhile, Biggie’s hometown, New York, honored what would have been his 50th birthday last year by lighting up the Empire State Building with a crown on its mast along with citywide celebrations like murals and limited-edition MetroCards.

‘Pee Diddy’ Trends After Yung Miami Makes A Salacious Confession On ‘Caresha Please’

by

Yung Miami’s podcast Caresha Please has already become a lightning rod for hot takes and salacious confessions. Thanks to the free-flowing alcohol and the host’s free-wheeling approach to interviews, along with a “safe space” presentation that lowers guests’ guard, artists on the show don’t mind addressing the “smoke” that clouds their careers.

The same goes for Caresha herself, who isn’t afraid to play along with her own drinking games — even if the resulting confessions reveal some bedroom kinks (or bathroom ones, I guess). During her interview with fellow Miami rapper Trina, Caresha pulled a card that read, “Take a shot if you like golden showers.” She wound up taking the shot as the intrigued Trina pumped her for more info (Trina said she never got one but she gives them).

Of course, as with all things Yung Miami these days, fans on Twitter immediately made the connection to her long-rumored beau, Sean “Diddy” Combs. An older version of his nickname, P. Diddy, was perfectly repurposed, and sure enough, “Pee Diddy” was trending on Twitter within hours of the episode’s premiere.

Miami and Diddy’s seemingly open relationship has been a subject of fascination on Twitter for the better part of a year. Things got especially smoky in late 2022 when Diddy announced the birth of a baby daughter by another woman but both posted photos from a family yacht trip for New Year’s Day, so it seems they’ve got an understanding. If fans are right, it seems like a lot of things go in this relationship.

Diddy Announced The Arrival Of A Baby Girl, But Fans Don’t Think He’s Talking About An Actual Daughter

It appears Diddy has welcomed a baby girl this weekend. Today (December 10) the rapper, producer, and entrepreneur announced via Twitter that his baby daughter was born.

“I’m so blessed to welcome my baby girl Love Sean Combs to the world,” he said. “Mama Combs, Quincy, Justin, Christian, Chance, D’Lila, Jessie and myself all love you so much! God is the Greatest!”

The news seems to be a surprise to everyone, as Diddy’s rumored girlfriend Caresha Brownlee, better known as Yung Miami of City Girls, hadn’t announced she was pregnant within the past year. The last time Miami announced a pregnancy was in 2019, when she revealed she was expecting her second child in the trailer for City Girls’ BET documentary, Point Blank Period, Part 2.

While the news of a baby may come as a shock, some fans are speculating that Diddy may not even be talking about a baby at all. Some believe the mogul is hinting at something else. Perhaps an album, or a liquor partnership, or fashion line.

“is this the new Album? It’s gotta be the new album,” said one Twitter user. “A new…. liquor? A new clothing line? A new self-help book. “Anyway, congrats on the new marketing!”

As some Twitter users had theories, some simply weren’t buying it, and immediately concluded that he was bluffing.

“Diddy talking about an Album and GossipTwitter losing their minds thinking he got somebody pregnant,” said another Twitter user.

At the time of writing, Miami had not commented on Diddy’s announcement.

Jadakiss Explains Why He ‘Really Hated’ Ghostwriting For Diddy Early In His Career

There are a lot of avenues to success in the music business. While most folks probably immediately think of performers since they’re the most visible product of the industry, songwriting is actually one of the most lucrative. Although songwriters might not receive as much attention and fame, they get a lot of love on the backend — unless they aren’t credited as writers, in which case, they’re considered ghostwriters and usually get paid up front for services rendered.

And while that’s still a pretty decent gig if you can get it, for potential stars like a young Jadakiss, it’s not enough without the spotlight. As Jadakiss told fellow New York rapper Smoke DZA on The Personal Party Podcast recently, the Yonkers standout “really hated” his early career role penning hits for the far-more-famous Puff Daddy (aka Sean “Diddy” Combs).

“After giving him ‘[All About] the Benjamins,’ ‘Señorita,’ ‘Victory,’ a couple remixes, I used to feel like it was taking away too much from me,” Kiss explains in a snippet of the episode on social media. “I ain’t know how to morph. It ain’t like he a n**** that I knew my whole life that I can just scribe him how I think he should be. I ain’t feel like I could write the bars for myself and give it to him, because I ain’t feel like it fit him. He had too much money. I was still extra grungy. My mind couldn’t think of that much Versace or being on that type of financial level. It used to conflict with me writing for him.”

As he elaborates, he felt that if he gave Diddy “Jada-style” rhymes, the glitzier Bad Boy founder’s image wouldn’t support the bars. However, he credits Combs for being able to sell them like they were his own anyway. “He just used to tell me, ‘Give me the shit that you would say for you,’” Kiss recalls. “I’m like, ‘It ain’t gon’ fit for you.’ He used to know how to make it work.”

To his own credit, Jadakiss has become a star in his own right, a highly-coveted and respected feature killer among his peers and contemporaries, and a fascinating repository of hip-hop history and behind-the-scenes knowledge.

On what would’ve been The Notorious B.I.G.’s 50th birthday, his friend and collaborator Diddy took to Twitter Spaces alongside Jay-Z and Fat Joe (per HipHopDX) and shared stories about the late rapper. Often known for their debauched, lavish music videos, Diddy recalled the shoot for “Hypnotize.” When speaking of the video, Diddy revealed the shooting of the video was the first time the two tried ecstasy.

“I mean, it was an experience, you know what I’m saying?,” said Diddy. “Ayo, Biggie’s 50. Check this out, we have nothing to hide. That was a long time ago… it was the first time. It was just a little nibble, it was all right. It was a little nibble. But we was in extra high, high spirits. Yeah, this breaking news and sh*t. F*ck it. On his 50th birthday, I wanna let y’all know that.”

During a special dinner on Biggie’s 50th birthday, his Junior M.A.F.I.A. collaborator Lil Kim told People she believes Biggie would still dominate hip-hop if he were alive today.

“It’s always important to honor the king. He’s the king. The king lives on,” Kim said. “He’s just an amazing person, amazing artist. […] His legacy. It’s just great. Like, I mean, look at the catalog. Look at everything that he’s accomplished, even at such a young age.”
