“It’s not really how you start. It’s not about a leg. It’s about the overall race and that’s one of the reasons why I’m a marathon runner. I ain’t no sprinter. I can walk out my door right now and run a marathon right now and that’s what separates you from me.” – Sean “Diddy” Combs
In celebration of Sean Combs’ stellar career that has spanned over a quarter of a century, we’re taking a look back on all of his biggest accomplishments. Known to many as “Puffy” or “Puff Daddy” or “P. Diddy” or simply just “Diddy,” whichever moniker you refer to him as, there’s no denying Sean Combs is Hip-Hop’s true “Renaissance Man.” Establishing himself early on as a rap promoter and record producer in the early 90’s for up-and-coming acts like Mary J. Blige and Jodeci, Puffy would later transition into a successful entrepreneur becoming the CEO of his own record label Bad Boy Records. It’s hard to believe that Puffy started out as just an intern at the now defunct Uptown Records. It’s even harder to believe that he would later get fired by his former boss, Uptown Records founder Andre Harrell and then hire Harrell back years later once he himself was established as a successful music executive. Before anything, Puffy is a hard worker. According to him, you get out whatever you put in and this idea and mindset is what has taken him all the way to the top.
