Diddy Says Only Two People Are Allowed To Call Him By His Birth Name
Diddy is a man of many names which he explained on Carpool Karaoke with James Corden on the The Late Late Show Thursday (April 20). The rapper has been called “Puff Daddy,” “P. Diddy,” “Puffy,” most recently, “Love,” and his birth name “Sean Combs” over the years but according to him only two people are allowed to call him “Sean.”
Those two people are his mother Janice Combs and Jay-Z.
“We call each other Sean,” Diddy revealed about fellow emcee and native New Yorker Shawn Carter before adding, “There’s not a single person outside of my mother that should be calling me Sean.”
“You can call me any of the approved names,” Diddy told Corden.
He then explained a little backstory behind his many aliases: “I was born Puffy and then I became P. Diddy. Then they called me Diddy because I was so pretty. And then Puff Daddy and then I became who I am now, which is Love. L-O-V-E, not Brother Love, just Love.”

Corden then asked Diddy to make him a cool nickname and the rapper dubbed him “Love” as well. “We’re both Love, we’re both trying to have fun,” he said.
Later in the episode Corden and Diddy talked about the father-of-seven welcoming in the latest edition to the Combs family whose name is “Love Sean Combs.” Diddy announced that he had a seventh child at the beginning of the year.
“I’m so blessed to welcome my baby girl Love Sean Combs to the world,” wrote Combs, who did not share the identity of the baby’s mother. “Mama Combs, Quincy, Justin, Christian, Chance, D’Lila, Jessie and myself all love you so much! God is the Greatest!”
Baby Love’s mother is reportedly a 28-year-old cyber security specialist named Dana Tran.
