Diddy says only Jay-Z and his mom are allowed to call him Sean

• Diddy revealed a very short list of people who are allowed to call him by his birth name, Sean.
• It features only his mom and fellow rapper Jay-Z.
• “We call each other Sean,” he told James Corden.

Diddy has gone by many names over the years – Puffy, Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, and most recently, Love.

However, one name he rarely uses is his birth name, Sean Combs.

This is because only his mom and fellow rapper Jay-Z is allowed to address him like that.

“I was born Puffy and then I became P. Diddy,” the 53-year-old star told James Corden during his recent appearance on “Carpool Karaoke,” after the host of “The Late Late Show” asked how he should address him.

“Then they called me Didi because I was so pretty,” he said. “Then Puff Daddy then became who I am, which is love.”

Corden asked why he failed to include Sean among his names, to which Diddy replied: “My mother usually uses Sean. I don’t know, when she’s in trouble,” adding that Corden had not “agreed” to call him Sean.

Corden then asked if there was anyone in the entertainment industry who would allow him to call him Sean.

“There’s only one person, and I call him Sean, it’s Jay-Z,” Diddy said. Jay Z’s real name is Shawn Carter.

“We call each other Sean,” he added. “No one else is allowed to call me Sean. There isn’t a single person, outside of my mother, who has to call me Sean.”

In other Diddy news, the music mogul recently duped Twitter into believing he had to pay Sting $5,000 a day to sample the Police song “Every Breath You Take,” which Sting wrote.

Diddy sampled the song on his 1997 tribute to The Notorious B.I.G. with Faith Evans, “I’m Gonna Miss You”.

In a 2018 interview with The Breakfast Club, Sting confirmed that Diddy did not ask his permission to sample for his song and as such should pay him $2,000 per day for “the rest of his life”.

Earlier in April, Diddy shared screenshots of the interview on Twitter but corrected Sting, writing: “No. 5K a day.”

It was later revealed that he was only joking.
