Diddy, News, True or False?, Where is Kim Porter???

Diddy’s definitely all about his benjamins. Still not content with his current entertainment, liquor, fragrance and fashion empire, the Bad Boy entrepreneur now has his sights set on launching a business academy in New York. Pop the hood for details.

He tells CNN, “I want to have an academy that’s known for building leaders. I feel that’s one of the things I can have an impact on.” Combs is determined to be a good role model for youngsters and is convinced launching his own school is the best hands-on approach. He adds, “I want to take on more responsibility. I’m still honestly in search of how I can have the most positive effect that I can have.”

We’re not so sure Diddy is the man for molding young minds — just see where that got Usher.

Seriously though — after watching “I Want To Work For Diddy” and “Making The Band” Parts 1-infinity, do we even have one example of someone who has learned from Diddy how to make Sean John-level stacks?

Hey, he is doing his thing business wise! That no one can deny. I think he should really teach people, though, that you shouldn’t leave your artist high and dry. He treats his artist like he treats his women.

But other than that ain’t nothing wring with it.

LESSON 1: Have a more talented close friend be killed so you can profit and take advantage of his death

LESSON 2: Stop using condoms, don’t pull out and practice this with as many partners as possible

I’m not convinced of his business ac*****en or credentials. Yes, he’s very wealthy from selling hiphop-based crap to wannabe ballers based on his “bling bling” persona. Although Diddy has become very rich, his niggga-style spending doesn’t give me the impression he is financially responsible. I’d like to see his success with something outside of hip hop. So far I’m not very impressed by hiphop ‘moguls’ including Russell “Where Da White Women At?” Simmons.

i’d go, for sure. as long as it’s not televised…

Val

2/3/10, 10:29:am

oh, and re: him not being financially responsible — don’t know if i’d agree with that. he recruited a harvard b school graduate to be his CFO. and his money is very long, so even when we hear outlandish things like his 16 yr old getting a 360k maybach…if anyone can spend like that, it’s him…and oprah! lol.

I think that this is great. It would give young minds further options in forming their future. Our young people who might not of thought of education, might be encouraged by this, and see that there is nothing wrong with studying.

Knowledge gain is never wasted!

Plus there would be a variety of tutors and might not even include Diddy.

I hope it becomes a reality.

Positivity ya all!!!!

Yeah, gotta give babyboy props for the business sense… That would be a good way of giving back. Dude is a genius! Saw the Ciroc billboard on 132nd and Broadway…LUVS it!

His business school will teach you how not to flip drugs, but instead flip people and their dreams. Undercover modern day slavery is the norm in the record industry. People have no idea how these sick *****s manipulate young impressional minds. When you here about the casting couch in Hollywood, it is childsplay compaired to the things that go down in the music industry. The first criteria to be able to get in to his school probably will be that you are willing to do anything and everything that it takes to acheive stardom. That will be the beginning of your downfall.

HipHop and Barnum and Bailey circus go together. They have a particular niche in business (entertainment)and they both need to stay there. There is no room for HipHop in the real business world. The whole industry is a circus compaired to the real business of the world. In the HipHop industry there are only a few spots at the top, which are already taken by the sharks. If people think that they can do what Russell and Puffy did more power to them. But in reality their are more failures than successes. This also includes the artist who don’t have current hits. They go back to living normal/abnormal lives thinking that their 15 minutes of fame will be back. It’s really sad!

i think this would be a great idea, escpecially if ascribe to the principles that made him the business man he is today. He can not control human behavior, give him credit, he tried to turn people lives around but they kept letting those streets come in the way. I have made respect for him as a business person and his gring. Can’t stop, won’t stop. also he will incorporate real business teachers.

sorry “grind” and mad respect for him.

So.. basically it’s okay to be grimy, sleazy, sell out your friends and business *****ociates, exploit young talents, then leave them in the dust. As long as you pull in the stacks. I mean, who cares about the “losers” he stepped on to get to the top. He’s there, right? My goodness, what are we becoming?

“Money don’t matter tonight.. it sure didn’t matter yesterday. Just when you think you’ve got more than enough, that’s when it all up and flies away. That’s when you find out that you’re better off making sure your soul’s alright. If money didn’t matter yesterday, then it sure don’t matter tonight.” – Prince

2/3/10, 23:52:pm

Prince didnt say that shzz in this economy! right now money should be everyone’s main focus…as long as u have God, Love, and an education…u should be a go getter…and the description of Diddy is the nature of the biz he is in…its biz…you have to go into the industry business minded…Diddy never claimed to be the best rapper/entertainer or whatever…”Dont worry if he writes rhymes, he writes checks”

I am so sure this is your school if you want to learn how to smile in people face and fxxx them with no gel behind their back. I wouldn’t waste my time.

That is phenomenal that Mr.combs wants to open up a buisness school. He is a successful entrepreneur. His buisness school would create alot of other successful entrepreneur’s. I would attend faithfully and honored. And yes i agree because from watching making the band and I want to work for diddy you see that Mr. Combs defines a dancer, singer,entrepreneur, ect. all in one he patches them with almost the same attitude and work. Which is to be successful , hard work,creativity,smart, organization,originallity, sweat,and to be on point on all opsticals.

Let us just wait and see the success of his school. There is way too much negativity in this world. Diddys’ success is based on hardwork on and off the grime. Please give him some props and…..KEEP IT MOVING! Peace.

Keep in mind that he’s the business of promoting himself…not anyone else. Examine past history…which Bad Boy artist has been with the label the longest??? DIDDY.
