Sean Combs Gets His Roots As Puff Daddy
Sean John Combs, famously known as Puff Daddy or P. Diddy, was born in Harlem on November 4, 1969. Puff daddy, as he later came to be known, was raised in Mount Vernon, New York. He derived his nickname of Puff Daddy as a child because of the way he used to puff his chest during football on the field. He was 18 when Puff Daddy joined Howard University, where he was notorious for his reputation in selling and trading term papers and exam papers and in endlessly promoting parties. It was no later than two years that Puff Daddy left Howard and found himself knocking at the doors of Andre Harrell, the executive of Uptown Records. Harrell quickly granted him internship and the rest, you know, is history!
That was just the beginning of a prosperous career, where he came to collaborate with several well-known entities in the industry like Jodeci and Mary J. Blige until he materialized his dream of founding his own label in 1993, with the Bad Boys Records. Puff Daddy, along with his childhood friend, Christopher Wallace (Notorious B.I.G.), made the company turn into a success having sold more than 12 million albums by 1994, with the help of Faith Evans and Craig Mack. Puff Daddy made his debut appearance with No Way Out in 1997.
After his association with superstar Jennifer Lopez, Puff Daddy has been in constant spotlight with the Bad Boy Records still continuing to be a reigning deity in the Hollywood with the Bad Boy Record continuing to swing the crowd to their tunes.

Those who remember the first album may remember him as Puff Daddy. This evolved into P. Diddy, which was shortened to Diddy. Now Sean Combs, the hip hop mogul and founder of Bad Boy Records, has decided to evolve into Sean Jean.
As reported by The New York Post, Diddy says it's just another step in his evolution.
Sean Jean explains, "I have always evolved and taken a different name each time. It's nothing unusual where I come from. Right now I want to be Sean Jean because that's where I am."
Sean Jean is one of the most successful and well-known clothing lines to be created from a member of the hip hop community. Sean Jean's creator referring to himself as Sean Jean is excellent brand recognition.
