Sean Love Combs (born Sean John Combs; November 4, 1969), also known by his stage names Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, or Diddy, is an American rapper, record producer and record executive. Born and raised in Harlem, Combs worked as a talent director at Uptown Records before founding his own record label, Bad Boy Records, in 1993. Combs is credited with the discovery and cultivation of artists such as the Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, and Usher.
As a recording artist, Combs gained mainstream recognition as the Notorious B.I.G.'s label boss and manager. Released in the wake and memory of his unsolved murder, Combs' debut studio album, No Way Out (1997), was met with critical acclaim, peaked atop the Billboard 200 and received septuple platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Its two preceding singles, "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down" (featuring Mase) and "I'll Be Missing You" (featuring Faith Evans and 112) both peaked the Billboard Hot 100—the latter became the first hip hop song to debut atop the chart. His second and third albums, Forever (1999) and The Saga Continues... (2001) both peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 despite mixed critical reception, while his fourth, Press Play (2006) peaked atop the chart once more. Combs formed the musical group Diddy – Dirty Money—with R&B singers Kalenna Harper and Dawn Richard—to release the collaborative album, Last Train to Paris (2010), which peaked at number seven and was supported by the single "Coming Home" (featuring Skylar Grey). His fifth studio album, The Love Album: Off the Grid (2023) was met with moderate success and marked his first not to be released by his Bad Boy label imprint.Combs has won three Grammy Awards from 13 nominations, two MTV Video Music Awards, and a Guinness World Record for "Most Successful Rap Producer" in 1997. Outside of music, he has served as a producer for other media, including MTV's reality series Making the Band. Combs launched the clothing retailer Sean John in 1998, for which he was nominated for the Council of Fashion Designers of America award for Menswear Designer of the Year in 2000, and won in 2004. He has been the brand ambassador for vodka retailer Cîroc since 2007, and co-founded the television network and news website Revolt in 2013. Through his business ventures, Forbes estimated his net worth at US$1 billion in 2022.In late 2023, Combs' former girlfriend, singer Cassie Ventura, filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against him for sexual assault, which was settled out of court. In the following days, three more lawsuits were filed by three additional claimants, with similar allegations of misconduct ranging from 1990 to 2003. In the wake of the allegations, various companies and brands dissociated with his likeness or involvement.
