I should say up front that I don’t really care about Sean Combs in any of his various incarnations as a rapper or a business mogul. In fact the only music I can associate him with is some song he did for the terrible 1998 Godzilla movie where he appeared with Jimmy Page. My thought at the time was that it was pretty terrible.
Nevertheless, I assumed that he must have something to offer someone since so many people seemed to like him. He’s been a big celebrity for a long time at this point. Really the only thing that registered with me is that every year or two he had a new nickname. P-Diddy. Diddy. Puff. Puff-Daddy. It was a lot of nicknames for one guy. He sort of seemed like the most self-absorbed rapper out there until Kanye West came along.
All that to say, the news coming out of his trial this week is really the first time I’ve paid any attention to…
