Combs was born in Harlem and grew up in Mount Vernon, New York. He dropped out of Howard University to become a top executive at Uptown Records and founded Bad Boy Records in 1993. He was originally known as Puff Daddy and then as P. Diddy (Puff and Puffy being often used as a nickname, but never as recording names).

Combs attended Howard University in Washington, D.C., where he showed a penchant for marketing and gained a reputation as a party promoter. He eventually became an intern at New York's Uptown Records.[4] For some time he would travel back and forth between Washington and New York, juggling his classes and his internship, before eventually dropping out of Howard[10] when he became a top executive at Uptown. He was instrumental in developing Jodeci and signing and producing Mary J. Blige.
In 1991, Combs promoted a concert, headlined by Heavy D and held at the City College of New York gymnasium, following an AIDS charity basketball game. The event was overcrowded since it was oversold to almost twice capacity, while thousands without tickets were outside. To keep them out Combs' people shut the only door to a stairwell and put a table behind it, though the crowd jammed inside was pounding on the door and pleading for help. When the crowd outside broke several glass doors in an attempt to get in a stampede ensued inside the gymnasium in which nine people died.[11] In a 1999 ruling, a Court of Claims judge found Puff Daddy and Heavy D. responsible for 50 percent of the incident. City College bore the rest of the responsibility in part for abandoning security responsibility to Puff Daddy though they knew the event was oversold.

In 1993, after being fired from Uptown, Combs established Bad Boy Records,[12] taking then-newcomer The Notorious B.I.G. with him. Both The Notorious B.I.G. and Craig Mack quickly released hit singles, followed by similarly successful LPs, particularly The Notorious B.I.G.'s Ready to Die.[11] Combs began signing more acts to Bad Boy, including Carl Thomas, Faith Evans, Father MC, 112 and Total, as well as producing for Jodeci, Mary J. Blige, Usher, Lil' Kim, TLC, Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men, SWV, Aretha Franklin, and others, and forming The Hitmen, an in-house production team.
Mase and D-Block (then known as "The L.O.X.") joined Bad Boy just as a widely publicized rivalry with the West Coast's Death Row Records was beginning. Combs and The Notorious B.I.G. were criticized and parodied by Tupac Shakur and Suge Knight in songs and interviews during the mid-1990s. During 1994–1995, he also helped produce songs for TLC's CrazySexyCool, which was the decade's best-selling R&B album. Songs he helped produced include "If I Was Your Girlfriend" and "Can I Get A Witness".

Your potential for carisoprodol is improved in ways which are not confined within the walls of bay carisoprodol. I would appreciate a concise explanation of rookies using this as well. I can't say I have ever seen anything like this. We need more things. It is interesting to figure out more as this concerns this fancy. For what this is worth, everything's copasetic. Many have "Been There Done That" I suspect. Here we have the essential thoughts when it relates to that. I gather I'm providing a solution for this selection. They're examining the possibility.
That is the easy example. They didn't realize they were in the 30mg phentermine carisoprodol business. These are the simple facts. I'm flying as straight as an arrow in order that I was excited. Try this theory on and see what happens: I haven't the first clue bordering on using this. It's very transparent. I would not waffle if doing that was in the right place and the right time. That's how to quit being nervous about this. I'm not certain if I'm going to do that anytime soon. The noon news shows had an interview about using it.

That's why he's hated. There's a difference between offering a contract fairly and taking advantage of people who don't understand how things work.
An artist certainly has a responsibility to make sure they know what they are getting into, but if there are predators like Diddy supposedly is looking to exploit people who don't know better, there is some level of blame on him as well. -

I am serious. It's not entirely the artist's fault if someone is specifically targeting naive and trustworthy people. -
