Music mogul Sean Combs started in the game as Puff Daddy before becoming known as Puffy, Puff, P. Diddy and finally, Diddy. Now, for one week, he wants to be known as "Swag." http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2011/05/20/sean-diddy-combs-changes-his-name-again/ http://www.wbaltv.com/entertainment/27970403/detail.html
If the word "swag" were a person, I'd gut them like a fish and feed their remains to the lions at the zoo.
Ehhhh, that's how the entertainment business works. People like to change their names to reflect their character methinks.
I think so too, on the business side.Sean is first a businessman and a hip hop artiste next. He is a savvy businessman who keeps creating and reinventing his brand.Not a bad idea methinks. If Donald Trump could use insulting the president of America to get some free publicity, Sean's name change seems a more healthy, and ingenious way of staying in the limelight - keeping his brand alive. For someone that is worth $475 million - the richest figure in hip hop as at the last assessment of Forbes, it shows he still has interest in his bank balance and sights on better things that can be achieved. I have watched him blend with the times, something Suge Knight somehow could not achieve.
ugh, how annoying. I'd say he's stupid or it's stupid, but it's not, it's actually pretty smart. Celebrity is all about being a recognisable name/face and he's just further proving his popularity with all the pointless name changes and giving himself another celebrity bump when it hits the news.
Yep, that too. The terms "keeping it 100" and "all about my paper" are getting on my nerves too. But I really got a vendetta/death wish for the word "swag".
If youre gonna pick a slang term to use for your nick name, at least find one that isnt on its way out. He might as well of chosen Sean "whoot, there it is" Combs.
What is the point of changing your name? I think it's kind of silly as many times as he has done it. It does get him a mention by the press, though.
