Flu causes Diddy to change name to swag
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 24 May 2011
Sorry, we’re a little late with this news, so you only have a few days left to call P Diddy by his new name, Swag. Swag? Yes, Swag. The rapper has announced via Twitter that he’s changing his name to Swag for a week. Then he’ll be Diddy again.
‘Swag’, apparently, is US slang for ‘good’ or ‘cool’, and it turns out Diddy is feeling both good and cool having just recovered from a bout of the flu, which, he reports, had him bedridden “under the covers with a fever”.
Celebrating his good health with some good friends and a good-sized platter of strawberry shortcake, Diddy announced: “I’ve gone as Puff, Puffy, Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Diddy, King Combs – my real name is Sean Combs – and for a week, this week only, you can call me by my new name, Swag”.
Take advantage of this limited chance to refer to Diddy as Swag by following him on Twitter at @iamswag, or simply commemorate the occasion by checking him out in this video:
