Combs also made headlines this wek by removing a consonant from his stage moniker. Combs, who changed his name from Puff Daddy and Puffy before adopting the name P. Diddy in 2001, told MTV News, “People around the world didn’t know what to call me. We was at (Madison Square Garden) rocking with Jay-Z. The last time I was there, half the crowd was chanting ‘P Diddy’, half the crowd chanting ‘Diddy.’ We gonna stop the confusion.” Combs plans a special “unveiling of Diddy” ceremony when he hosts the MTV Video Music Awards in Miami Aug. 28.
