| Whether you love him or hate him, there's no denying P. Diddy's uncanny knack for success. Formerly known as Puff Daddy, Sean Combs started Bad Boy Records in the mid-1990s, after working at Uptown, producing records for the likes of Mary J Blige and Jodeci. Bad Boy blew up almost immediately, thanks to the hugely popular acts like Biggie and Ma$e among others. After Biggie's murder, Puffy became larger than ever before, with multi-platinum solo albums, Grammy awards, etc. He also expanded his empire to incorporate new ventures, including his own clothing company Sean John. Though ridiculously famous and wealthy, he also went through some high-profile trials and tribulations, such as the Club New York shooting (Puff was acquited; Shyne got 15 years) and getting dumped by hottie du jour Jennifer Lopez. Through it all, he has remain virtually unscathed, and continues to play both sides of the fence, working with pseudo-thug rappers and hobnobbing in the Hamptons with the ultra-rich. In 2002, his compilation LP We Invented The Remix debuted on the charts at number one. Find Diddy cds and Diddy records on Feverpitch Records. |
