quote: "I felt like the 'P' was getting between me and my fans and now we're closer," Diddy said.
"During concerts, half the crowd is saying 'P. Diddy'--half the crowd is chanting 'Diddy'--now everybody can just chant 'Diddy.' "
He confessed that his unwieldy name was even starting to befuddle him.
"I even started to get confused myself--and when I'd called someone on the telephone it took me a long time to explain who I was. Too long," Diddy told the New York Post.
There are times when I despair of the human condition. And then there are times when I find the human condition very, very funny.

I suggest you start yelling your name over the intro to crappy records you produce, get some fans, have one of your large friends get shot, get famous by association, and then change your name.

As far as this name chanting thing goes, I think bunbun has the right idea.
Diddy is now permanantly linked with the image of a quaint tune in my mind... And to match the proper spelling, I propose he immediately change his name to Ditty.

While I can appreciate not wanting pee to get between you and your fans, someone needs to tell him that for a hardcore rapper his name still sounds a lot like babytalk for genitalia.

Maybe that's the whole idea.

It's like the kid I knew in junior high who nicknamed himself Raptor because he was obsessed with Jurassic Park.

I'm laying bets that just before he changes his name to an symbol, he will be known simply as "D".

not before he tries 1000000000 other ways to make his name sound different while retaining the same sound (can you say D' Piddy)

I think he's spending way too much time refining a stage name that, when you get right down to it, was asinine to begin with.
My rapper name is Verily Da Yizzle. Then I'll shorten it to Verily, because that's what all the fans say anyway. Then it'll become just "True Dat".
