Diddy? You must be taking the P

The artist formerly known as Sean Combs has changed his name yet again. P Diddy has dropped the P, and as of yesterday will be known simply as 'Diddy'

Fans could be forgiven for losing track of the rap star's moniker. In recent years he has evolved from Puffy to Puff Daddy to P Diddy.

He admitted the changes were starting to baffle even himself.

He said: 'When I'd called someone on the telephone it took me a long time to explain who I was.'
