Diddy: Don’t Drive Drunk
October 17th, 2008
Everyone knows Diddy likes to party, and does it well, but he wants you to know that after a night out on the town is no time to get behind the wheel if you’ve been drinking.
Through his partnership with the ultra-premium vodka brand Ciroc, Diddy’s releasing a new campaign discouraging people who’ve partied a bit too hard from getting behind the wheel.
"When I started this relationship with Ciroc, I wanted to do something groundbreaking in the category of social responsibility," he tells OK!.
"Instead of doing a regular PSA saying, ‘Hi, I’m Sean Combs and I’m here to talk to you for Ciroc,’ I actually shot a scene from a movie, what happens when the music stops and two young ladies leave early because they’re feeling a little tired."
I stop them from driving at the door and have my driver take them home, and I ask them what time they’re coming back tomorrow because we’re having a pool party," he reveals. "It’s kind of funny and gets to the point without being overly preachy."
With his latest Ciroc campaign, The Art of Celebration, Diddy seems to be conjuring old Hollywood.
"We wanted that feeling of intimate celebrations back in the 1950s where people would have gatherings at their homes and got to know each other, dance and have dinner," Diddy says.
Shot in black and white in one of Frank Sinatra’s former California homes, the legendary singer’s music is featured in the background.
"Giving an ode to the Rat Pack, me being a huge Rat Pack fan, and Frank Sinatra being one of my imaginary friends at times, it was great and exciting and a blessing," Diddy reveals.

What’s in a Name?: Diddy Clears Up Name Change
June 20th, 2008
Last week, it was a flashback to the 90s when rumors swirled that Sean "Diddy" Combs was reverting back to his original stage name of Puff Daddy.
"They call me Puff Daddy… he’s back," he raps on O’Neal McKnight’s single "Check Your Coat" remix.
Perhaps that was just for nostalgia’s sake as the mogul’s rep denied the name change, but does the mogul himself have any future plans to go back?
Not really.
"As time goes on, everyone will call me Sean," he tells AMC. "It’ll come to that and it will be easier for everyone, but for right now, everyone can be a little confused."
The 38-year-old, who can be seen in AMC’s original series Shooutout, says his multiple name changes were never on a whim. They were always "symbolic" of some instance in his life. For example, he dropped "Puff Daddy" after he was cleared of assault charges in 2001.
"I had went through a time when everyone knew me for certain things and I didnt want to be known for," he says. "I didnt want to be in that box and what I had went through at the time when I was known for certain things and I didnt want to be known for Im a gangsta rapper and involved in negative things."
Although he’s not proud that his moniker-swapping causes so much confusion and head-scratching (not mention reduces Google searches, he says), Diddy is happy he’s one of the few and proud who has successfully done it.
"Prince, he wasnt able to do it. Garth Brooks wasn’t able to do it. I think I’ve been the only person that was able to successfully been able do it."
