Sean “Diddy” Combs has changed his stage name back to Puff Daddy, a name he used for many years earlier in his career, according to Radio. The name change coincides with the announcement of his upcoming solo album, MMM, according to the report.
Puff Daddy has also released the teaser for an upcoming music video for “Big Homie,” a track set to be released soon.
In February, French Montana announced that he is slated to executive produce Puff Daddy’s upcoming album.
As an artist, Puff Daddy has released several projects, including his debut album, 1997’s No Way Out. He’s also released 1999’s Forever, 2001’s The Saga Continues…, 2002’s We Invented The Remix, 2006’s Press Play and 2010’s Last Train To Paris, which he released with Dirty Money (Dawn Richard and Kalenna Harper).
In 2007, Diddy spoke with XXL about his debut album, No Way Out.
“I don’t honestly think that album was one of those albums that changed Hip Hop,” Puff Daddy said at the time. “I think that it was one of the albums that gave birth to a new type of artist. It’s a classic album and one of the best albums in hip-hop, but I don’t know if it was one of those… Like, I think The Chronic changed the game. Ready to Die, Life After Death changed the game. All Eyez on Me. It’s a different type, but I think it raised the bar, as far as on consistency. It was like a movie that was an ensemble. Almost like Pulp Fiction. I wouldn’t say it changed the game, but I think this album opened doors for Hip Hop.”

Puff Daddy > 50 Cent. FACT
Diddy is a true hustler, Curtis is just another knockoff, he is nowhere near Diddys level.
20 years later and BadBoy is still standing while GUnit Records is dead, GUnit clothing is dead while Diddys Sean John is selling like hot cakes. Diddy is buying networks while Curtis is doing deals with rednecks at Nascar rallys.
Diddy WON.
Bad Boy Records is dead, too.
MGK and French droppin heat every month, where’s yayo or banks at?
#FACTS
#BIGHOMIE
at the end of the day both Bad Boy and G Unit are trash musically lol
at the end of the day puffy hasnt wrote one verse that he raps

That fucking snake
is worth more than your whole family generation
yeah thats usually how you get to be worth so much, by being a two faced snake and a liar who fucks people over.
Intro – Dope but dramatic
Victory – 5 MICS (Started the album off with a Classic)
Been Around The World – 5 MICS (Big, Ma$e and Diddy on another Classic song)
What You Gonna Do 4 MICS (A dope storytelling song, sounded like something Biggie or Black Rob would spit a story over)
Don’t You Stop What You Doing – 3.5 MICS (Decent record, Lil Kim and Faith come through but it’s only OK)
If I should die Tonight (Interlude) – Carl Thomas made the track
Do You Know – 4 MICS (Beat was fire, Puffy came through too. Kelly Price voice is so underrated and amazing)
Young G’s – 5 MICS (Big, Jay and Puff with Kelly killing the hook with a hard beat)
I Love You Baby – 5 MICS (Black Rob and Puff drop an amazing storytelling)
All About The Benji’s -5 MICS (Is there any debate that this isn’t one of the greatest rap songs of all time? Classic)
Pain – 5 MICS (Deep song)
Is This The End – 5 MICS (This joint has a little timbaland style with
the double time beat but it’s dope and Twist Diddy and Ginuwine kill it)
I Got The Power – 4 MICS (Lox drove the track, beat was cool too)
Friend – 3.5 MICS (One of the weaker joints on the album. Foxy was OK but the song is only alright. Beat was straight)
Senorita – 4 MICS (This was a guilty pleasure of mines. I would of liked it better if Ma$e had a verse over this)
I’ll Be Missing You – 5 MICS (One of Hip Hop Biggest songs ever and Eulogized one of the greatest rappers ever)
Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down – 5 MICS (Classic Beat that was flipped for modern audiences but Ma$e and Puff Killed it)
MIC AVERAGE: 4.53
-Nick T
i agree with this.
Dope breakdown.
I stopped reading when it said French Montana will be executive producing… SMH
Good that he has French Montana overseeing the project as an Executive Producer, French has a good ear for beats and he can add some edge to the project.
PROBABLY MEANS MONTANA WILL BE WRITING MOST OF PUFF’S VERSES
#BIGHOMIE
Thats a terrible look no matter what. How you let that nigga who had the biggest flop of 2013 produce your album after all that talk about having the best NY rap album in over a decade?
NIGGA THAT WAS THE BEST NY ALBUM IN A WHILE!!!
^ Nigga please. That album couldn’t even touch Asap Rocky’s album.
You mean the worst.
what does MMM mean?
guarantee you one of the M’s is money
PUFFY, THE PUBLIC ENEMY #1! DO YOU WANNA WALK WITH THEM OR DO YOU WANT TO WALK WITH GOD NIGGA!? MAKE UP YOUR GODDAMN MIND!
#BIGHOMIE
THEM 3 NIGGAZ SHOULD JUST MAKE AN ALBUM TOGETHER THOUGH
#BIGHOMIE
you puff…. stick to being a business man homie, you are a shit rapper, always have been and always will be, you only got your foot in the music game with your skills in picking out stars, not your own talent smh
more like POOF daddy lol am i rite people? AM I RITE? lol smh can i get an AMEN???????ppl?
All Eyez On Me didnt change the rapgame it contains to much filler!
BTW what about a new Biggie album with real unreleased tracks you cheap bastard! I though you loved Biggie so much, you fucked the fans twice with born again and duets
There are no more Biggie albums left to release.
#1 that sounds terrible.
#2 i don’t see any shiny suits, that’s a puff daddy imposter. fuck out of here.
Sorry brah you’re Diddy now.
If I’m feelings crazy I might call you Poof Doody.
^corny whiteboy
^^ corny Spaniard
nigga goes from doing that gay ass euro techno dance shit back to street music?
Nigga put out los.
Los left Bad Boy recently.
yeah Los jumped from dat sinkin ship.
Wouldn’t surprise me at all if I read Rick Ross was going to be changing his name to Notorious B.I.G. and French Montana changing his to Ma$e.
more like Notorious P.I.G.
am i right?
BIggie was fat too yet you never complained about his weight.
true lies
dont copy that “am i right” commentor, it’s only funny when he does it…..
BIggie was fat too yet you never complained about his weight.
P.I.G. probably stands for Prison Institution Guard which has nothing to do with weight.
yeah i was talkin bout how he a cop, not a fat slob which he also is
So was biggie yet you only bitch about ross.
So was biggie yet you only bitch about ross.
You can’t defend your boy without having to pull names out your ass can you? Biggie was the first to let you know “he black and ugly as ever”, “I’m fat/I fuck around and catch an asthma attack”. Ross won’t so we’re here to help.
Ross is more more popular than Biggie ever was. Diddy realizes this and is helping William take his career to the next level.
Ross will never be more popular than Biggie.
Most
Meaningless
Moron
?
Dafuq him and name changes are like Mase going back and forth from rapping and preaching
This weak ass nigga has always sucked. I aint never met one nigga that bumped his shit or respected him. All he did was eat off others
you must don’t get out a lot & know many people
or maybe was born in the 90s
yeah i dont know anyone who listens to Diddy in 2014, respects him or even puts him in their top 100 anything other than Hustlers.
“I aint never met one nigga that bumped his shit”
“yeah i dont know anyone who listens to Diddy in 2014”
^ lol
once you say things like this, it’s YOU who look small & oblivious
You’re the small, oblivious one.
“You’re the small, oblivious one.”
Detroit Slim is a depressed hating ass troll who probably upset that Danny Brown took his girl. lol!!! Plus he lives in shitty Detroit. Just living there makes anybody depressed.
it would be easier to respect him if he stopped trying to make music. did nigga like Madonna but without the talent clinging to anything thats hot to stay relevant.
Madonna has talent? lol, excuse yourself from this conversation
shes managed to stay someone relevant for 30-40 years you gotta give her that
and puff hasn’t? you should take a moment and think out what you’re really trying to say
not only is madonna talentless, people go to puff for music & direction, not the other way around
You also have to realize puff’s the one with the grammy and not biggie. He’s better than biggie.
Biggie has better music than Puff, so Puff ain’t better.
coooooooooontastic!! enough with the name changes howev, let’s just settle on asshole– and sheisty thief.

Why are people bustin their asses to defend Puffy Combs? The dude has done nothing to contribute to Hip hop. Once B.I.G. Died, he chose to become more of a bottom feeder, shoving himself in all of his talents videos and songs.
I actually feel kinda bad for Officer Ricky. Now he has a manager who is blatantly trying to fill up Biggie’s size 15’s, using a guy who can’t even write a rhyme that doesn’t consist of his imaginary drug trade system.
I wouldn’t feel sorry for someone worth $30 million.
Who?
there’s a difference between defending Puff and defending the actual truth
you saying he’s contributed nothing to Hip Hop says you don’t know wtf you’re talking about to have a realistic discussion
if I was Rozay I’d be more worried about Jay than Puff
whatever u say p.diddy
funny part is Puff Daddy came first and he already changed P Diddy, you WAAAAY behind, lol
^ thats the joke…
get better jokes
I’ll pass on and puff daddy raps, or whomevers raps hes reciting. Even though beats will be catchy with decent features, I just cant listen to this dude rap anymore.
..no lie, i bumped the shit out of No Way Out back in the day. Classic, but not cause of Puffs raps.
glad i’m not the only one who thought no way out was classic, still got victory and been round the world on heavy rotation.
Howcome people never give this guy shit for holding the Lox back and not letting them eat? They always quick to hate on 50 Cent over the Young Buck situation but what did The Lox ever do to Diddy?
Stylez threw a chair at him.
fuck ur name changing, ungrateful ass nigga, I should’ve stop fuckin witchu a long time ago
Diddy had his artists do what he calls “power sessions”, making them perform oral sex on him to prove he has more power than they do
Like it or not, diddy’s 1st album was a classic!
That’s Dr Dre doing the power sessions.
No, that’s Diddy.
Disgusting as fuck. All this gay shit makes a person wanna stay normal and not be famous.
Remember when this gay ass nigga used to have that gay ass butler with him all the time. His personal fuck buddy/umbrella holder Fonzworth.
From hearing Puff rap, it shows that Rozay is ghost writing for him. It’s so obvious. Puffy, Master P, and Jay-Z all need to stop rapping.
But Jay-Z still rap better than half of them niggas in the rap game.
jay-z needs to stop rapping
Jay hasn’t rapped well in years.
Another classic album in the works from sean, east cost OG. More classics like missing you and come with me are in the works.
LOL you mean another trash album coming from Puffy. Those songs are not classics since Puffy is unable to make them.
Did you get my ass banned from the album sales article bitch?
Puff daddy his lame so fuck mmm we don’t wanna hear that shit
Take dat, take dat hahaa…
MMM: Milky Mayo Mushrooms
Lets hope the negu still has a skill cus last track I had from him was..Trash!!!
Puff puffs nuts. Swole nuts, big king kong balls. That’s why he got the nickname Puffy. Blowin’ big dicks & balls, “puffy” ones. #TRUTH101
