Sean 'P Diddy puff daddy doop doddy duddy' Coombs is changing his name again, but only slightly. The hip-hopper, who has most recently gone by the name of P Diddy, has decided to drop the P and be known simply as Diddy.
Diddy told the New York Post: "I needed to simplify things. Nobody knew what to call me. I'd notice that people were uncomfortable when I'd meet them for the first time, and then they'd ask me what they should call me. I even started to get confused myself-and when I'd called someone on the telephone it took me a long time to explain who I was. Too long."
He continued: "I went to a concert in Madison Square Garden last year and the crowd started to chant my name. Let's just say the name P. Diddy didn't quite flow. I realised immediately I had a problem."
