During his career, Puff Daddy's stage pseudonyms were used (P. Diddy), Diddy (Diddy). In 2009, founded the Diddy group - Dirty Money.

According to Forbes and Time magazines, Sean CommBS is one of the most influential and wealthy people of Hip-Hop.

Sean John Combs was born on November 4, 1969 in Kharlem. Two years later, his father was shot dead in the street "disassembly", and the family moved to another district of New York. In the late 1980s, the Combs got a job in a recording company Uptown Records, where he was responsible for finding and concluding contracts with promising hip-hop performers, among whom Mary Ja Blyj, Asher, Lil 'Kim and many other studies were.

In 1993, the Commbs founded his own BAD BOY RECORDS label, which were produced by the records were built on the very wide sections of famous hits of past years - which caused irritation of musical critics and many competing rappers. A characteristic example of this kind is "Come With Me", recorded by the Combs theme for the film "Godzilla" (1998), which was founded on the classic Kashmir Hit "Kashmir" of the LED Zeppelin Group (in the rewriting participated in Jimmy Page himself).

In 1997, the Commbs headed the Hip-Hop's breakthrough to Mainstream's Music after the murder of Rapra's friendly The Notorious Big, released in collaboration with the wife of the deceased, Faith Evans, the "memorial" composition "I'll Be Missing You", partially quoting old hit the police "Every Breath You Take" and awarded Grammy Award for the "Best Rap-Performance in Duet".

On December 27, 1999, in a nightclub, where the Combs and his girl Jennifer Lopez were, there was a serious shootout, and with the inspection of their car, a stolen gun was discovered by the police. Over the next few years, the Commbs have been involved in unproved trials, in particular, on charges of illegally carrying weapons.

Competing labels and musical observers often accuse Combs in the total commercialization of hip-hop, in addition to musical activity, it develops a clothing line and a network of restaurants. When, in 1993, the CommBS engaged in the promotion of a new grams of Bad Boy Entertainment, he drew attention to the young Rapper and Street Delta - Christopher Wallace, in which he saw talent. Christopher became first Biggy Smalls, and then "famous healthy". His debut album Ready to die was filled with bitterness and fear. Combs tried to promote this album: first, it was its first producer project, and secondly, he did not see another way to pull the guy from the street. During the work on the album, they became friends and then they agreed with the founders of the largest firm of the Western coast of Death Row - Marion Knight and Tupak Shakur. However, this friendship was short. In those years, rappers were already divided into the rappers of Western and Eastern coasts. Their hostility to each other and civil workers were becoming more acute.

In November 1994, Shakur underwent an armed attack and was robbed. And the next day he was arrested on suspicion of sexual harassment. Soon Shakura was released, but he had already managed to declare VIBE magazine, which suspects Puff and Smalls in involvement in an armed attack. Despite all Puff attempts, the world could not restore. In September 1996, Shakur was killed. After that, in America, the wave of murders of rap artists rolled, caused by the same struggle between the "Western" and Eastern Ripers. Nevertheless, soon the Combs and Snoop Doggy Dogg, which represented the West Coast, performed in the same television program, where they shook their hands as a sign of reconciliation of their criminal musical groups.

Biography of Puff Daddy

The future rapper was born in November 1969 in the New York Quarter Harlem. The present name of the musician is Sean Combs. As a child, he was overlooking, so Mom called the Son Puffy, this nickname remained with him in the future. Father died when Sean turned 2 years old, after which the family moved to another part of the city. Sean studied at the Bronx Private School, then he continued to education at Hovard University of Washington. In the student years he worked immediately in two publishers.

After graduation, the Uptown Records recording studio came to the studio. In a short time, an ordinary employee of the CommBS became an equal representative of the company, which trusted the search for fresh giving and enter into contracts. At the same time, he collaborated with popular performers as a producer and released 3 albums. Sean was distinguished by excessive ambitious character, and in 1993 the company spread with him.

Combs created his own Bad Boy Entertainment Studio, in which he worked with two helpers. The company immediately concluded a contract with the American artist Hip-Hop Notorious B.i.g. The first album "READY TO DIE" Musical critics called a historical event for New York: the Hip-Hop genre then developed on the west coast, the output of the album became the starting point of formation of the PR industry in New York and the Eastern Coast.

A lucky producer took the pseudonym puff daddy. After the release of the album, Daddy's studio entered into favorable contracts with the singer Faith Evans, a group of 117. Puff raised the company and at the same time collaborated with performers as a producer.

In 1994, a conflict broke out between two rappers Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.i.g., then between the studios "Death Row" and "Bad Boy". The reasons were not called, but in an interview and songs, rappers threw off offensive replicas. As a result of this war, two participants died: at first, unknowns shot Tupac, and after six months notorious B.i.g.

After the tragedy, Puff has long been departed from affairs, and then recorded the first private single "CAN'T NOBODY HOLD ME DOWN". 2 months song has occupied the top lines of the charts. The next single "I'll Be Missing You" The musician dedicated to the deceased friend and received the Grammy Prize. Soon the rapper recorded the debut album "No Way Out" at his studio. Songs enjoyed success. The musician got grammy again. In the late 90s, the following album "Daddy Forever" came out. Listeners called him the repetition of the first.

After that, a failure band began. Interscope Records accused Puffa in the attack and appealed to the court. Then Deaddi was incubated to the illegal storage of weapons and a bribe. After a series of trials, Puff was justified. Since then, rapper has changed the pseudonym and became Pi Diddi.

On November 4, 1970, in New York Harlem, MANHATTAN District appeared on the light of Sean Paphi Combs, known later under the names of Puff Daddy, Pi Diddi, just Diddi. School years have passed in a private school Mount Saint Michael Academy in Bronx, after graduation, entered the University of Hovard in Washington, COLOMBIA DISTRICT. Studying at the university, at that time he managed to show himself a very smart businessman, working in editions of two newspapers. After graduating from the University P. Diddy was able to convince his school comrade to take him to work at Uptown Records, in which his buddy himself was recorded. P. Diddy's career growth in this area was very rapid. Not everyone succeeds only for several months to overcome the track from a simple assistant to an equal resident of the label, which has the right to independently find new talents and on behalf of the company to conclude contracts with them. However, this P. Diddy was not enough - his dream was to get the chair of the company's vice-president. During this time, Sean managed to visit the producer of several unsuccessful albums: "Father" s Day "rapper Father MC (1990)," What "s the 411?" Mary J Blige, Blue Funk Group of Heavy D & The Boyz (both 1992), but in 1993 he was fired with Uptown, perhaps for excessive arrogance.

In the same year, P. Diddy opened his own Bad Boy Entertainment company, he was engaged in the two assistants. Earnings P. Diddy kept mainly on remixes, but after a while he managed to conclude a contract with Craig Mac and Notorious B.i.g. However, an attempt also to sign a contract with modern Tupac Shakur rapper was not crowned with success. And the hope that the popularity of Tupac will be able to withdraw a new label on a high level, collapsed in one moment. However, the work did not stand in place. After the Craig Mac and Notorious B.i.g recorded the successful single, after which their albums followed the Label Bad Boy gradually began to spin. The popularity of the album Notorious B.i.g. "READY TO DIE" provided the company with the opportunity to conclude contracts with new performers, such as the popular R & B-performer Faith Evans and group 112. Interesting the fact that Faith Evans was a wife notorious B.i.g., and the group 112 previously provided him with vocal support at concerts. However, work for promoting your own label P. Diddy skillfully combined with producer activities for other musicians: Lil "Kim, TLC, Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men, Aretha Franklin, Mase and The Lox.

However, in 1994, the company was split two Bad Boy labels and Death Row, two rappers notorious B.i.g and Tupac, and, therefore, two label owners - P. Diddy and Suge Knight. The reasons for the worried war accurately and failed to establish. Some believe that it all started with the fact that Tupac accused Puff Deddy and Notorious in participating in a failed attempt on him, which occurred in 1994. However, it was not for anyone who was not secret that for almost two years the militant parties were constantly overwhelmed with threats and insults to each other in songs and interviews. Even the text of the song TUPAC "HIT" EM UP "contained countless threats to Puff and Notorious, including the statements that TUPAC entered into love relationships with Faith Evans, and the video was filmed two characters Pig and Buffy, over which They mocked all sorts of ways. The result of this battle was two deaths of its participants. In September 1996, Tupac was shot by unknown people, and already in March 1997, Notorious Big suffered a similar fate. His second album called "Life After Death" appeared after three weeks After the tragedy and as a result, it became platinum as much as six times.

The murder that happened to Notorious B.i.g was very much affected by P. Diddy, that he even threw work on his first solo album for a while. However, after time, Diddi came to himself and continued unfinished work, the result of which his debut solo single was "CAN" T Nobody Hold Me Down ", which immediately won the top of the charts and could stay on the first line for two months. His second single Under the name "I" LL BE Missing You "P. Diddy recorded the dead friend together with his widow Faith Evans. However, despite the fact that Pauff Dedi was caught in the fact that in his song he used part of the popular song Sting "And" Every Breath You Take ", almost without anything without anything in it, the single had a huge success and even brought P. Diddy, The Grammy Award in the nomination "The Best Rap-Composition, performed by a duet or group".

After some time, the first full-length album of Puff "No Way Out", which was recorded joint efforts with the fellow on the label, named in the album simply "The Family". The album was sold by large circulations and brought P. Diddy another Grammy Prize in the "Best Rap Album" nomination. Loud success was able to conquer another single from the album "IT" S ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMINS ", recorded in conjunction with Lil" Kim, The Lox and Notorious B.i.g. Later on the creation of rock remixes, Rob Zombie and David Eric Grohl were worked on this composition. Successful experience in sampling brought the success of another album song called "Been Around The World", probably also because it successfully combined two singles David Bowie "Let" S Dance "and Lisa Stansfield" Been Around The World ". In addition, in the clip, stars like Wycklef Jean, Quincy Delightt Jones and the future friend of Pauff Dedi Jennifer Lynn Lopez participated on this composition.

In 1999, many pleased the release of the second solo album from Daddy "Forever". However, critics and fans called this album secondary, there were few fresh ideas in it. After this unpleasant moment in the life of Puff Dedi, another one followed. In the middle of April of the same year, the representative of Interscope Records Steve will be filed with Dedi for beating. It happened after filming the "HATE ME NOW" video of the NUS rapper, in which Puff Daddy starred voluntarily in the crucifix scene. After demanded these frames to remove from the clip, to which he received a refusal to Steve Stout. Not long by behaving on this occasion, Puff beat Stata. Somehow the charges were removed from it, but on this scandals associated with his name were not over. The LOX left the Bad Boy label, and the record with LIL "KIM was interrupted because of the shootout. At that time, Puff had a relationship with Jennifer Lopez. In one December Day 1999, they rested in the club Club New York. There was a shootout, After that, it turned out that Paffa had an unregistered weapon. Immediately the charges and the driver of Paffa, accused him of a bribe, so that he would hide unlicensed weapons. Also, there were also charges from the club of Club New York, who after this incident To go bad. There were other accusations from different persons, but in February 2001, Pauff was freed from all charges. At the same time, the relationship broke with him. After all this, Puff changes the scenic alias on Pi Diddi.

It would seem that all lawsuits are completed and time to start writing a new album, but apparently not destined. At first, he was accused of attacking the TV host, then he came to court for driving with overdue rights. After he went completely to work and began unusual cooperation with "Nsync, Britney Spears, David Bowie. With the last he recorded the soundtrack to the film" Training Day ". The result of his work was the new album" The Saga Continues ... ". Single" Bad Boy for Life "(first in this album) became very successful.

New chagrins waited by P Diddy soon. Arista ceased cooperation with the label "Bad Boy" Pi Diddi, and most importantly lured the main executor of Faith Evans. Pi Diddi had an attempt to run their own realistic show "Making the Band 2". Participants were selected in it for a new pop group. Critics with a mockery adopted a new brainchild of Pi Diddi, and it was not popular with popularity. A year later, on the New York Marathon, P Diddy earned $ 2 million. He donated this money for free education. The next change of the scenic pseudonym occurred in the summer of 2005. Now he is just Diddi.

Currently, Diddi has its own clothing line for Men Sean John. This activity has already brought its fruits and was noted a prestigious reward. Diddy - Justin restaurant owner S. Restaurants were named after Diddy's son. Diddy also movie actor. One of the roles in the Broadway stage "A Raisin In The Sun", a small role in the film "Monsters Ball" in which he starred Together with Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton.

Sean John Combs (Sean John Combs) - this is the same star name - born on November 4, 1969 in the New York district of Harlem.

His father (it was one of the richest people in Harlem, closely related to the local mafia) was killed when Sean was two years old, and the mother of the future Matra Hip-Hop, Janis Combs, was forced to move to the Mount Vernon district, New York . Only after almost ten years, the grown P Diddy learned from old newspapers the terrible details of the death of his father.

All photos 13.

It's hard to believe, but in childhood Sean was a rather fat boy, and the mother called him "puffy". This nickname was also attached to him for many years (and Mom calls so his adult son so far).

Sean was an ordinary student at HOWARD UNIVERSITY in Washington (after the death of Father Paphi his widow, there was still a sufficient amount of money in order to give his son a decent education), when I met Andre Harrell (Andre Harrell).

Harrell at that time was the president of Uptown Entertainment and was often in Washington, he became a mentor P Diddy, having trained it with the azam producing.

So, in a very young age (19 years old), P Diddy became the executive producer of Uptown Entertainment. In 1990, the album of his ward Father MC "Father" S Day ", which became very popular. He takes an active part in the promotion of such faded projects, like Jodeci and Mary J. Blige in 1991, and in 1992 he will produce his debut album HEAVY D School friend

But P Diddy was distinguished not only by business grip, but also a difficult character, so in 1992 he was fired from Uptown Entertainment for excessive ambitiousness.

However, it is ambitions and iron self-confidence that Paphify in 1993 to establish their own recording company BAD BOY ENTERTINMENT.

In the music industry, the company was constructed thanks to twice the platinum status of the Debut Disc Wheel Notorious B.i.g. "READY TO DIE".

Also Paphi began working with his wife notorious B.i.g., Faith Evans (Faith Evans) (Biggi's wife), as well as with the female Total trio (Notorious B.i.G.) and the 112 men's vocal group.

Over the Sean Combs enshrines the reputation of a successful producer with a phenomenal light on new talents. Later he collaborates with such stars as Marey Carey, Lil Kim (Lil "Kim), Asher (Usher) and the TLC group.

At that time, rappers begin to divide on the rappers of Western and Eastern coasts, and their hostility to each other is becoming more acute, and all because of different views on how it should sound rap.

There is a frank pedry between Notorious B.i.g. and a representative of Western rappers Tupac Shakur, although they used to be friends.

In 1994, Shakur was subjected to an armed attack, he told the press, which considers Puffy and Notorious B.i.g. involved in the attack. Moreover, Tupak Shakur removes the clip on the song "Hit 'Em Up", in which how could notorious B.i.g insulted.

Combs tried to restore the world by conciliatory speeches, but unsuccessfully. In September 1996, Tupak was shot, after six months, Christopher Wallace, he also dies, notorious B.i.g.

Sean Combs at that time already became known to the world as Puff Daddy, released in 1997 a single "CAN't Nobody Hold Me Down", lasted in the upper lines of the Billboard chart for almost two months, and then the first solo disk "No Way Out" .

In memory of Notorious B.i.g. He, together with his widow Faith, Evans records the song "I'll Be Missing You", using a melody from the hit group of Police, in which sang Sting , "EVERY BREATH You Take."

The song becomes superhit and conquers "Grammy", and the album "No Way Out" was recognized as the best rap album of the year.

Then Puff Daddy prepares the soundtrack to the movie "Godzilla" (the song is called "Come with Me") and is solved here on the experiment - combines elements of hip-hop and rock. The public is delighted, and the Single sales are simply incredible, so Puff Daddy releases another song in the same musical vein ("Benjamin" s Rock ").

In 1999, Puff Daddy releases the second album "Forever", but the disc is much less popular than the previous one.

Stay at the peak of popularity and the first stripes of Puff Daddy newspapers helps Roman with actress and singer Jennifer Lopez . Everything was so successful: Paphi is the world-famous performer and owner of prestigious awards, a successful producer and songwriter, his beloved is one of the most desirable women in the world; But at the end of 1999, Puff Daddy starts serious trouble with the law ...

He and Lopez were in one nightclub, when, according to eyewitnesses, Paphi opened a pistol's palp tree. When searching, the police found a weapon from the star, he was charged with the illegal storage and application of weapons.

Already in 2000, Puff Daddy was justified in court (it turned out that he did not shoot, and his buddy), but Jennifer Lopez chose to stay away from the illegal boyfriend and threw it just on Valentine's Day.

Judicial charges are not ends: at first they were accused of attacking the TV presenter, then he came to court for driving with overdue rights.

Puff Daddy decides to start a new page of his life and in this is changing the scenic name Puff Daddy on P Diddy. The media consider this act idiotic, it becomes a reason for jokes on all sorts of ceremonies of awarding musicians, and the Combs for this turns out to be at the 12th place in the list of "20 of the most stupid people of America".

Being already P Diddy, the Combs produces the Album "Thank You" in 2000. Following it, the "The Saga Continues" disc; The song "Bad Boy for Life" became a hit number one in 2001.

P Diddy works with David Bowie over the Soundtrack to the film "Training Day", and also collaborates with the group "N'Sync" and Britney Spears.

Sean John's clothing line generated by him, double-nominated for a prestigious premium in the design of PERRY ELLIS MENSWEAR AWARD, and has become a sales hit (however, and there was not without scandal - PETA and other eco-organization either didn't curse Rapper for an abundance in his collection of natural furs ).

In addition, P Diddy is actively engaged in charity, providing computers from New York schools and sacrifice a million dollars to its native HOWARD UNIVERSITY.

In 2002, BAD BOY ENTERTINMENT issues a hit collection with a pathoral name "We Invented the Remix" ("We invented remix"), which included previously not published remixes on the compositions of famous rap- and R & B-performers (Mary J. Blige, Missy Elliott, Notorious Big, Ashanti, etc.).

The disc is insanely popular, as well as the compositions of the P Diddy "I Need A Girl Part I" (together with Usher and Loon) and "I Need A Girl Part II" (together with Ginuwine and Mario Winans).

He did not pay attention and cinema - he had a slight role in the film "Monsters Ball" (2001), in which he starred together with Halli Berry. Also, the rapper performed one of the roles in the Broadway formulation "A Raisin In The Sun".

In 2003, P Diddy with his head goes into the production activity: Split Boyz-Quartet "B2K" and a new Disk Mary J. Blige.

Also on the conscience of P Diddy disk Soundrek to the film "Bad Guys - 2" (God himself ordered to entrust the release of the sound track to this film with a label with almost identical name). At the same time, P Diddy was noted on a disk and as a performer (joint with Pharrell, Loon and Lenny Kravitz Song "Show Me Your Soul").

In 2006, P Diddy returns to the world of music with a new solo album "Press Play". There are a lot of duets on the disk (mostly with a beautiful half of humanity), which do not leave the top lines of the charts until the end of 2007: "Tell Me" (with Christina Aguilera), "Wanna Move" with Siera , "Last Night" with Casic Cole and "Come to Me" with Nicole Sherezinger.

Then the Commbs captures the perfume industry, releasing the fragrance "unforgivable."

Here P Diddy again failed to avoid scandal: many channels flatly refused to broadcast the aroma commercial due to the fact that P Diddy and the Jessica Gomez model appeared in the video in very frank poses ...

By the way, such an incident took place a year earlier, when a number of stores refused to place advertising posters of the new Combs collection due to too provocative content - the advertisement included the image of the half-breeding P Diddy and two models in bed.

But as if Sean Combs nor nicked up - Sean Paphi Combs, Puff Daddy, P Diddy or just Diddy - and with whatever scandals of his name nor bind, nothing changes: it continues to work as a performer, producer, head of the Empire Bad BOY ENTERTINMENT and new namesman. And, as a rule, its projects are successful.

The Combs were never married, but he is the father of five children, and his relationship with the same woman has been associated with the same woman for more than ten years (though, periodically a pair of "takes a break", which Sean uses for novels with Hollywood siques).

In December 1993, Kimberly Porter (so calling the Passion of Rapper) gave birth to P Diddy's first son, which Justin was named. At about the same time, the Commbs adopts the son of Kimberly from the previous novel (the boy is Cyuins).

In April 1998, the second son appears, Christian Casey, and very soon, P Diddy and Porter takes another gap (then P Diddy and twisted Roman with Lopez).

Also, Rapper at one time had a novel with supermodel Naomi Campbell.

In 2006, a temporary passion named Sarah gave birth to a girl from Rapper, which Chanes called. Due to the fact that the novel with Sarah was a short and non-serious, Combs first refused to recognize the daughter. But after the DNA analysis confirmed paternity, recognized the daughter.

But calming P Diddy was clearly not going to - in 2007, the press was sent to messages about his intrigue with actress Blue Miller And singer Rianna . Kim left the Combs, but in early 2008, the stars still reunited.

P Diddy is also the owner of Justin's restaurants owner (restaurants were named after his son Justin) and a producer of reality show on MTV "make a group."

In 2008, P Diddy starred in a very popular American television series "CSI: Miami crime scene", and also launched his new pair fragrance "I am King" (in the female version - "I am Queen").

Also in 2008 it became known about the novel p Diddy with a beginner singer Casey Ventura (Cassie Ventura).
