Integrate his non-Music Life

I felt a little betrayed and confused (a little), when I finished this article, had this puzzle constructed in my head, and then saw the Other section, which has crucially important info in it but has been somehow relegated to second-tier simply because it wasn't about Puffy's brief music career. This article is not about his music career--anything noteworthy in his life should be in it. (And frankly, his songs that don't hit the top 40 merely dilute the article, too.) His clothing label is one of the more noteworthy things he's done in the last 5 years, so to relegate it to a miscellaneous Other section doesn't make sense. Right now he's praised in the abstract for his work in the mid-90s, and then the last 10 years are all about crime and punishment, while in actuality, he got famous in the last 10 years after being a pop-star in the mid 90s. It's like taking an article on Madonna and putting everything past 1990s Vogue as an epilogue. -[[User:mrcolj] 71.37.94.102 13:40, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Chappelles Show

Someone wrote:

In Chappelle's Show, there is a Making The Band 2 skit with Chappelle as Combs, a lazy, childish, flamboyantly gay, cookie loving, milk obsessed, hilarious producer. Combs is trying to get the members to do their freestyles but they failed because of arguments in the studio. (Which did happen in the real show but the skit shows it hysterically)

This is a very poor section, and I removed it. The skit is not notable enough to Diddy's career to bear mentioning in his article. Furthermore, it is clearly NPOV and obviously unnecessary. I added a note to allude to it, but no critique of the show. L.A.F.

Let's take off the phrase "well known." The Chapelle Show is a hit in certain demographics, but isn't big enough to have anything considered "well-known." 71.37.94.102 13:40, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Move request

This guy's changed his stage name so often (Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, and as of two days ago, Diddy) that moving the article to his birth name seems like the only sensible course of action. Bear in mind he's no Bono or Madonna—his birth name has become quite broadly known. This has been especially true in recent years, as the popularity of his Sean John label, his various political activities, and of course all this stage name switching has led to most press coverage referring to him specifically as Combs. -The Tom 05:26, 18 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Support. "Diddy" is certainly not the most commonly known name. — Knowledge Seeker দ 05:53, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
Against. "Diddy" is his name as an artist, and that's his choice...not ours. If that's what he wants to be called professionally, then that's how he should be listed. BigGuy219 19 August 2005
Support. Every news story about him invariably uses some nickname (which varies) plus his legal name, which has not. CDThieme 05:58, 20 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Use his real name, as his nicknames do vary quite a bit. – AxSkov (☏) 07:37, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Diddy is definately not the most common name. Agree with most other comments above. Jonathunder 17:48, 2005 August 21 (UTC)

This article has been renamed after the result of a move request. Please clean up the references in the article itself and the remaining double redirects (I have changed the most important ones). Dragons flight 15:05, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

Naming Names should be cleaned up. Combs should be called by his given last name. All informal nicknames or performance names such as "Puffy", "P. Diddy", and "Puff Daddy" should be replaced with "Combs" where possible.

Finances

I've heard that Sean Combs has done very well for himself, especially with his clothing line. Does anyone have info on his financials? Vicarious 16:30, 27 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

bad boys of comedy

Come with me

The other day I heard a different song with the same tune as Come with me, and was told it was pretty old. Any info on it? Hackwrench 15:43, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's Kashmir, by Led Zeppelin. Eixo 15:43, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV

In the section titled : Other work.

This should be a quote of someone who is influential or simply be removed. This is NPOV " he is also one of the most despised. Some have argued that he is perhaps the worst thing that has ever happened to hip hop. " I will rephrase. Thanks.

P Diddy

Combs was soon acquitted of all charges relating to the shooting incident, followed almost immediately by a break-up with Lopez. With the media circus over, Combs changed his stage name to "P. Diddy".

Didn't he change his name well before then? I believe Jennifer Lopez and he changed their names simultaniously to J Lo and P Diddy? In the meantime I'll citation it. 211.30.80.121 23:21, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Lox publishing dispute

Perhaps the Controversy section should include something about The Lox's dispute over publishing rights with Combs, which was recently settled, see [1].

Hmm

Not too sure Diddy is a "gay musician". Vandalism?Extenebris 11:01, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
