When I heard about the charges my first thought was "he wasn't seriously trying to tell the world with his stage name was he?" But I have to suspect that he was. People who do terrible things just want to brag about it and often that's their undoing
Me, I like other people do call me Superman. Some do, out of pity probably. But most people who actually matter, like my employer, the postal services or the taxman, call me John B. Nobody.
I just googled that too. Apparently he made the change to P Diddy in 2001 after being acquitted of guns and bribery cases to signify he was turning over a new leaf.

A soon as I first heard of all this my one and only thought was "Diddy didn't diddle did he? Diddy did."

Diddy? Or Diddy not?

Just like Usain Bolt, nominative determinism strikes again.
brisk@aussie.zone · 8 pts · 313d
A bit undercut by Diddy choosing his name though.
Usain Bolt, surprisingly, was born that way.

Eh, his last name is Combs, and you know what those are used for...

He’s Jake the Peg, diddle-diddle-diddle-dum, with his extra leg, diddle-diddle-diddle-dum
cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 312d
he should definitely write a song about how he doesn't diddy kids

This man is called Sean Combs.
HikingVet@lemmy.ca · 16 pts · 313d
He has a preferred name.
porksnort@slrpnk.net · 5 pts · 313d
Yes, but Sean Combs is the name they use in court. It’s situational!
snooggums@piefed.world · 7 pts · 313d
That is because it is a legal proceeding which uses legal names unless the judge allows for an exception.
ExtremeDullard@piefed.social · -7 pts · 313d
That's great.

This inmate's name is Sean Combs.

Imagine getting this butt-blasted over someone's preference.
hddsx@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 313d
Is it actually a preferred name or is it a stage name?
Also how did puff daddy become diddy? I never understood that but I guess if I cared more I would have followed it closer
axexrx@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 313d

He dropped the P in 2005.

Iirc, the name change was because he wanted a name that sounds less gay.
Jerkface@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 313d
snooggums@piefed.world · 8 pts · 313d
His name is Sean Combs but he is called Diddy because that is his stage name, which he used for decades.
Is the meme a courtroom proceeding?
ExtremeDullard@piefed.social · -11 pts · 313d
There's no stage in court, and there's no stage in prison, is my point. Diddy died when Sean Combs was booked by police.
Dirac@lemmy.today · 12 pts · 313d
Screen name checks out 👍👍
glimse@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 313d
Is Sean Combs not called Diddy?
Where in the meme does it refer to his legal name
LePoisson@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 313d
At least your username is on point.
Vinny_93@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 313d
Sadly he's not in prison for combing people
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 313d
Eh, combing is a form of grooming, and it seems he did that.
