Mirror Image??

Posted by Bossip Staff

Diddy & Derek Luke

Diddy got creeped out by watching Derek Luke portray him in the Biggie Smalls biopic:

“‘It’s rare that you get a movie made about you when you’re still relevant, but [they] took on the challenge,’ Combs said of the cast, adding that he was especially impressed with actor Derek Luke, who is playing Diddy. ‘People asked me years ago who you’d want to play me, and I said Derek Luke … so it was just destined. I got to see him do his thing, and it was scary for me. I had to leave, ’cause he was acting just like me.’”

We bet it must’ve been bizzare watching a more attractive version of himself on the big screen. Maybe this will make him think twice about that “Black Bruce Willis” endeavor.

  5. Lady Architect

    Bossip you are so right about Derek Luke being much more attractive than Diddy.


  6. ….I guess

    “‘It’s rare that you get a movie made about you when you’re still relevant

    I’m sorry, i thought this movie was about Biggie? is it the Sean Combs & Christopher Wallace story?..i didn’t think so..

    & you are damn right Derek is more attractive

  8. guilty pleasure

    Derek may need to get some “big teeth” to really depict Diddy in this role……….lol


  9. Mmmmmm, not his fan. By just saw his profile on dating site “W e a l t h y l o v I n g . c o m. ” last week. It seems he is single again.


  10. Derek Luke always been a great actor …

  11. pinklici

    Who told that buck-toothed mu*****ka he still relevant?

    At first I was going to clown him about this statement as the movie is supposed to be about Biggie. But I did notice a few weeks ago how odd it was that the biggest star in the movie, hell the only star in the movie is playing the Diddy role. Maybe it is about him. I’m glad to hear he thinks Derek is doing a good job.

  13. Lush_Us Lipps

    WOW! Im sure Derek Luke will be a better Diddy than Diddy himself.

  14. ATLBlogger

    DEREK LUKE IS FINE! I’m just ***** that he took the role to play Diddy, eww. But at one point, didn’t Derek try to get out of his contract from this movie?

  15. WordzOfaProphet

    LOL, u kno Diddy got make it about him n some way. And it must have been scary watching jus how wack and obnoxious he really is/

  16. Necy

    Derek is a cutie !!!

  17. Southern Belle 225

    Derek Luke is SOOOOO dang fine and sexy! Love it. I’m glad that Derek is doing the part justice. I think Diddy is funny as hell. I can’t wait to see just how good Derek copies him. That should be very interesting.

  18. honeylicious

    why does he think that he is relevant?

  19. Big Mike

    Actually that would be strange seeing someone portray you right in front of you – especially if it’s on point. It’s like mocking you

    “Take that, take that!!”

  20. I'm Just Me

    DEREK LUKE CAN GET IT HARD BODY. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS MOVIE!

  21. 6 Figgaz

    I trust Derek stayed suckin’ on Breathsavers throughout filming — any cat imitatin’ Puff has to keep his mouth open 24/7… and y’all know what that leads to…

  22. COME ON

    DIDDY IS STILL RELEVANT AND WE ALL KNOW IT JUST LOOK AT HIS TRACK RECORD, HE’S DOING THE DAM THING. DIDDY IS STILL HANDSOME AND NOT ULGY BY A LONG SHOT.

  23. Cage

    They don’t look ***** alike…. Free Shyne.


  24. not just a more attractive version of P. Doo Doo but one that actually…uhhmmmm ACT!!!!

  25. mrslaadee

    Derek Luke is a talented actor. This should be a sign for Diddy to leave the movies to the real actors.

  26. Jahpson

    yeah Derek is more attractive then Diddy, but a bigger sellout that fool with a YT woman!! lol

  27. k.k

    who cares?..luv derek tho

  28. Southern Belle 225

    @Cage..they sure dont’ look alike. Thats a good thing too because I didn’t realize how ugly Diddy was until the Raisin in the Sun movie. I was shocked because he cleans up SO well. Oh well.

  29. Aja

    Y’all acting like Puff looks like Shabba. Relax, they both aight.

  30. Chaka

    Diddy is not attractive at all


  31. Diddy needs to go sit his @ss down somewhere.

  32. richie

    Maybe it was “hard to watch” for P. Dip***** because it reminded him of the blood on his hands.

  33. Lil' Kevin Mayne

    ^^^^ p dip*****? that’s cold blooded

  34. K-ten

    why couldnt Diddy get someone ugly like him?? maybe he doesnt see himself as ugly.. is Derek Luke a natural at holding his mouth open like a dog with a toothpick sometimes in it? hmm, if not, Diddy should pick someone else!

  35. HoneyBrown

    “‘It’s rare that you get a movie made about you when you’re still relevant, ”

    Um, I challenge that Diddy…..

    And Derek Luke is much more attractive so you got lucky!

  36. Beautiful Queen

    “‘It’s rare that you get a movie made about you when you’re still relevant,”

    And he still hasn’t. I thought this movie was about Biggie. As the “best friend” he’s the supporting actor. Always trying to steal the limelight Diddy.

  37. Lou in the Chi

    Yall know yall need to quit. Diddy is the man. And if it wasn’t for him there’d be no Biggie. Believe that. Big up Diddy.

  38. Puff Daddy is so fine

    Diddy is lookin fine to this day. Now Derek that bro is on point can’t deny that. However Diddy got that swag that drives em crazy. Derek did do a good job.

  39. Lou in the Chi

    diddy was no best friend. he was the producer the one who truly controls the money and artistry. people better wake up. the million dollar man.

  40. izz me byatch

    DERek LUKE JUST DOESN’T UNDERSTAND THE THINGS I WOULD DO 2 HIM ANY GIVEN NITE/DAY…LOL

    aAntoine Fisher is fine as F***K

  41. Darth Paul

    B-I-Z-A-R-R-E…

  42. MR

    Getting Derek Luke to play Diddy was an upgrade!! That man is too fine!

  43. rr

    Derek Luke isn’t thinking about none of you big gals..hahahaha

  44. Celebrity CSI

    Diddy is the stuff & I’m stuffer AND if comes to my town OH I’ll pull a Kim Porter. I’ll have to sneak & do it but it may be worth my wile w/o the ‘h’. Flashy lights…. lol

  45. getyourhandouttamypocket

    Derek Luke is so delicious….gotta love those black-***** men. Hmmmm mmmm!


  46. Too bad Diddy thinks it’s all about him because it ain’t.

    True. Derek Luke is much more attractive than that *****wipe Diddy.

    And this must have been the easiest gig for Derek because all he had to do was act like a crazy fool to become Diddy.

  47. DIAMONDCHEERS

    mirror image my azz, but they both nice lookin

  48. sxyQblondie

    SEAN COMBS HAS GOT TO BE JOKING. WITH US, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY HIMSELF. HE NEEDS TO GET HIS HEAD CHECKED

  49. DIRTYSOUTH MOUTH

    derek !now you have the chance to hold your gl***** high up and humpdy dance on the starstruck men on the dancefloor poke and shake that booty gurllll

  50. Shamzy

    Derek is WAY too good looking to play Diddy!!!

  51. De

    Diddy wished he looked as good as white girl lover Derek.

  52. Hector

    I really love this website, but I have to ask, Why do you promote so much negativity? You have a great sense of humor, but it seems that there is a persistent caustic flavor in your writing, i.e. this particular entry. The constant attack on the people you cover only makes the writer appear bitter. You are always on top of current events, but the commentary detracts from your product’s superiority and importance. In discriminate criticism can limit the value of your social-commentary. Still love you though.

  53. Secsi

    @ Hector, I get you but usually its becasue the celeb has said something rather dumb before hand and they covered it, like take Diddy for example, they covered him yesterday claiming to want to be the black BRUCE WILLIS but I think Bossip was trying to stress the question, why Bruce Willis??? Aren’t there plenty of successful black actors he could have named, such as Sidney Poitier or Denzel Washington or Forest Whitaker??? Like why THE BLACK Bruce WIllis?


  54. now he see’s what real acting is

  55. Jane Dough

    HA!!!!!! And I say again, HA!!!!!!!!! Sean you wish you looked like Derek Luke!!!

  56. jandsmama

    Puff is lucky that Derek Luke signed on to play him cuz if we were going for lookalikes for the film it’d be Mush Mouth from the Cosby Kids.


  57. @jandsmama: exactly!

  58. Lou in the Chi

    I doubt if Diddy cares that he doesn’t look like Derek Luke because Diddy can buy and pay for Derek and hang that nucca on his wall. Be for real. Diddy wants to be the black Bruce Willis cause ain’t many black action heros. Bruce aint the best actor but he’s good at what he does and so is Diddy. Haters.

  59. PIMP DADDY

    now dis young brother looks good and diddy na he always looked *****ed up just money and dumb hoes make him look good.


  60. He was actin just like Diddy?…Dang it was have been HARD for the talented Derek Luke to portray an @ss#0!&


  61. I WISH SOME ONE WOULD KICK PUFF PIE AZZ. I DONT KNOW WHO HE THINK HE IS. THAT GUY DEREK LOOK WAY BETTER THEN COCO PUFF. TALKING ABOUT HE HAD TO LEAVE CAUSE DEREK ACT JUST LIKE HIM. PUFF DROP NEEDS TO GET OVER HIS SELF.AND HE ACT LIKE HE WS SUCKING BIG’S *****.
