Diddy was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2022 BET Awards on Sunday night (June 26). During his acceptance speech, he referred to Bobby Brown as the “first Chocolate Boy Wonder,” which evidently didn’t sit right with legendary Hip Hop producer Pete Rock.
Rock, who’s widely known for his work with C.L. Smooth, Heavy D, Common and Run-DMC, earned the nickname coming up in the late 1980s and early ’90s.
Hours after the ceremony concluded, the Mount Vernon, New York native took his grievances to Instagram and called Diddy out for failing to credit him as the first Chocolate Boy Wonder. Sharing a post that read, “Pete Rock is the original Chocolate Boy Wonder. Stop playing,” Rock explained in great detail why he was so offended.
“ERASURE IS A REAL THING we doing this to each other now???” @bet @billboard We not alike. YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THIS KNOCK THIS OFF!! You are from 77 dell ave Mt.Vernon NY. i know everything about you but i wouldnt call myself puff daddy when im THE REAL CHOCOLATE BOY WUNDA BOSS. You kinda came outta nowhere. Been in Mt. Vernon since the 1st grade all the way to graduating high school. I came up with the town.
“My brother Grap Luva taught you dance steps in your garage on dell ave. I touch drum machines and make the beats 4 REAL. You cant erase what i have done in music or try to take my name lol. Everyone in hip hop knows who the chocolate boy wunda is. You brought biggie to the basement only to diss me later and not use me on any of his projects. You cut me out the ‘One More Chance’ video when BIG himself invited me. You got to where you wanted to be then shitted.”
Pete Rock continued by pointing out how much he’s contributed to Hip Hop culture and threatening to expose Diddy unless he stops calling Bobby Brown the first Chocolate Boy Wonder.
“My gift is from GOD the almighty mister puffy smh i made those hits 4real,” he continued. “There is no comparison dude. I been here before you. Dont let me go in on you cuz its alot there. Just knock it off with the chocboywunda shit man. im flattered tho bruh but you wanted my attention i guess ok now you got it. now use your own names.

Old man yells at cloud type beat
Pete still a legend tho
Diddy still a bitch!!
Puff is a fruit cake, there is nothing solid about him. He owe Ms. Wallace and her grand children millions he basically stole from Big by buying his masters from Ready To Die for 70k. Yet he claims Big is his man, if he is your man you don’t steal his masters. Big need money for living expenses until he recouped royalties from his first album. Puff should have loaned him some paper to live off of but he shafted Big instead. Snake Move.
they had to hustle harder.
That’s Diddy’s style. Catch them with they pants down. There’s a special place in hell with his name waiting for him.
Fuck Diddy
Diddy loves the chocolate starfish of the male variety.
F#$k Puff. He is a snake in every way.
they honored sean combs for ripping off all his artist
Yep, BET. Black Evil Television. Makes sense since they do the exact same thing.
The poison is strong in this one, killing himself while the suppossed enemy has all the money, chocha and buity holes, all the girls, and then the life time shit.
Everything PR said is real, that’s what those clubs do. They try to erase real ones so they can capitalize as much as they can. Dj Drama did Gillie like that w Willie Da Kid, Jay w Ace Money Bags instead of E Money Bags and 50 w Bleu DaVinci, now the boy from BMF is named DaVinci. Or they just straight jack styles and wear it so the audience thinks they’re the originators. If you got it like that, take on the competition, don’t blackball or weasel them.
CHURCH!!!!!! I feel PR. I guess if your not from the beginning or that era you don’t know the true Chocolate ? Boy Wonda!!!! Quoted in several bars by several people. PR hasn’t received his flowers. Bruh needs a whole florist dedicated to him. I am happy when people call Puff out on his shit. He has scated on so much in his life. PR YOU GOT MY FLOWERS. NO 1 ? BOY WONDA.
Say what yall want, bruh worth $800 million
So tf what? That’s all you value?
ALWAYS YOU BUMMY BROKE NZ WHO RESPECT MONEY OVER PEOPLE.
We all love and hate suge and puffy at same time. Their labels brought us good music n good times we all will remember the rest of our lives. Stop the bullshit ya’ll
What does this have to do with anything ???,Pete rock be chatting shit all the time
IDK what the hell is going on. But as far as I know, all this is just PR coming at Diddy for trying to take his name. All the other shit is just talk to me….I don’t go off no damn rumors anymore
Didn’t Pete Rock refer to himself as Soul Brother #1? Which is erasure of James Brown?
