Life just got a little easier now that we know what to call him--I can now go on vacation....
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) We've all seen the sign: "Welcome to our OOL. Notice there is no 'P' in it? Please keep it that way." Well, Sean Combs would also like to avoid the "P." The former P. Diddy -- previously known as Puffy and Puff Daddy - wants to drop the "P" so his fans can chant his name more easily. "I felt like the 'P' was getting between me and my fans and now we're closer," the initial-free rap mogul tells the "Today Show" on Tuesday (Aug. 16). "During concerts, half the crowd is saying 'P. Diddy' - half the crowd is chanting 'Diddy'--now everybody can just chant 'DiddyNaturally, a christening type of celebration is in order. He'll test his new moniker's succinctness when he hosts the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, Aug. 28.
"To be honest, the unveiling of Diddy, you gonna see that at the [VMAs]," he tells MTV News. "You gonna see that in the entrance. You gonna see that swagger. You gonna see how I'm gonna navigate you through the journey. I'm gonna play my position, my role. The artists are gonna play their role. We're gonna have an incredible, incredible party."
Combs, 35, initially changed his name from Puff Daddy to P. Diddy in order to make a "fresh start" after being acquitted on gun charges. But now, in his own words, "It's the era of Diddy."
When Diddy isn't thinking up new titles for himself, he's in court battling his ex, Misa Hylton-Brim, over child support payments and settling a lawsuit with Random House over memoirs that he failed to write.
