Diddy commenting on penning some of the rhymes for his new LP, “Press Play�? for the first time in his career:

“That’s just for this album. We haven’t really put out that release yet. But it’s something that people will know before the album drops. It is a shock and a surprise to people,�? Diddy told SOHH.com. “A lot of the writers, cause I’m such a perfectionist, were tired of me just saying, nah I don’t like that, I don’t like that…it’s like, ‘why don’t you try it so you can see how hard it is.’ So a lot of things I was coming up with were getting ripped up and thrown out. It was a crazy exercise for me and really helped me get to another level. You can hear, I think in the vocals cause it’s another level of belief in what I’m saying.�?

Diddy commenting on dropping his P. Diddy moniker in UK:

“In the UK I gotta call myself P. Diddy cause somebody got the name Diddy,�? Diddy shared. It’s just how the game goes. You have to have your name trademarked and if you come late in the game trying to get a name somebody already has, you gotta let them rock with it. Luckily for me I had numerous names so I was able to just switch over to one of the other ones.�?
