Shouldn't his page be titled P. Diddy instead of Sean Combs per COMMONNAME? Similar to how R. Kelly's page isn't called "Robert Kelly". 150.143.27.147 (talk) 12:49, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

It needs to be added that on April 28, 2024, Tubi released a documentary with interviews from people such as Aubrey O'Day of Danity Kane, titled "TMZ Presents: The Downfall of Diddy". 2600:6C64:7B7F:9FD6:B9B2:8439:ECEF:F3F0 (talk) 01:20, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

I an unable to view Greenburg's article, because the blog is subscription only. So I am unable to verify what's going on. I have left the data in the article but have attributed it to Greenburg rather than Forbes as a whole. — Diannaa (talk) 18:53, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

He still goes by Puff Daddy. @Cena332 told me he retired that name in 2001 but he released a mixtape in 2015 under the Puff Daddy name. A lot of people today still call him Puffy or Puff Daddy in addition to Diddy, so it should be "or Puff Daddy" not "formerly Puff Daddy". JuanBoss105 (talk) 14:10, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
A stage name is different than a artist name. He briefly returned under the Puff Daddy name in 2015 for a mixtape. At the MTV Video Music Awards he opened as Diddy. You say "He still goes by Puff Daddy." His social media listed is under @Diddy, His website is called Diddy. The name has been retired since 2001. From March 2001; "No more Puff Daddy," he told viewers of an MTV music show. [1]Cena332 (talk) 16:05, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
The statememt is worded "also known by...", and he is still known by that name. Regardless of Combs' thoughts on the subject, a lot of people, including people in the media, still use that name. — Diannaa (talk) 23:48, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
Youre argument of using that statement from 2001 doesnt hold water because he released a mixtape in 2015 as Puff Daddy, so if he really retired that name in 2001, he wouldve released that mixtape as Diddy. Do people know him as Diddy? Yes. Do people know him as Puff Daddy? Yes. I agree with @Diannaa, and I propose that you take out formerly and put also known as Puff Daddy. Regular people acknowledge him as Diddy, P. Diddy, Puff, Puffy, Puff Daddy, etc., so to put formerly isn't right. JuanBoss105 (talk) 02:53, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
People can still acknowledge you by your former name. I don’t believe a brief return under the Puff Daddy name for a mixtape is WP:NOTABLE. And to the other names, people still acknowledge him by those names, that’s why we have a other names section. I will get HumansRightsIsCool involved, since he was the one to suggest formerly in the lead. Cena332 (talk) 16:24, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
He hasn't used the name puff daddy since 2015. Since he retired the name, it should say formerly puff Daddy. There's a reason why the English word "formerly" exists HumansRightsIsCool (talk) 16:58, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
What proof do you have that he has retired that name since 2015? Do you have any? Guarantee you don't. JuanBoss105 (talk) 17:05, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
The proof is he hasn't officially used the name in 9 years. And he only used the name one time in 2015. Before they he hasn't used the name in a decade is what I was told on this platform. And why do you even care so much it says "formerly puff daddy" HumansRightsIsCool (talk) 18:31, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
Also more proof is he doesn't go by "puff daddy" on any social media platforms. It's always @Diddy. He hasn't called himself puff since 2015 which was like 9 years ago HumansRightsIsCool (talk) 18:35, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
