Sean Combs

Britain - Rapper Sean Combs changed his name from Puff Daddy to P Diddy in 2001, but he then dropped the "P" from his name when he appeared on Nasty Girl, a posthumous release by fellow rapper Notorious BIG which reached Number One in the UK in August 2005. Richard "Diddy" Dearlove, best known for his dance remix of the Blondie hit Atomic, used the name "Diddy" since 1992 in the UK. He filed a lawsuit against US rapper, Sean "Diddy" Combs for using his trade name. The rapper, also known as Puff Daddy and Puffy, agreed to pay more than £110,000 to settle out of court with Richard "Diddy" Dearlove. (Sep-10-06) [BBC NEWS]
