first

Diddy has nothing to be ashamed of, we was put on this earth to have kids and raise them. Diddy is doing that so why should he feel bad about having them with different women. If I could do it I would.

He’s(the interviwer) pointing out that ILLUMINATION!!!!!!!!

@smh
THANK YOU!!!
Bashir is GARBAGE!

Well, let’s not forget about the women. They know how many kids he has and they still can’t wait to be the next baby mama.

He had no idea what megalomania is LOLOL and I bet most of his fans don’t know either! LMFBAO!!!!!

LOL @ diddy and his delusions of grandeur LOL

FAQING narcissistic fool

Megamaniac, Diddy means you are consumed with self, large ego and huge maniac. IDIOT! Learn to read and also decipher words before you do an interview.

And why did you let him call you a gangsta rapper, he was never a gangsta rapper. Come on he raps about women, money, clubbing, all superficial bs.

This is not a good interview he should have continued down that line of questioning. Its not a good thing that he all he can offer is money and the best schools. Children need to grow up in stable environments where parents are together not in harams where you see your mom is only worth you dad’s time on Tues, maybe Thursdays but the rest of the time is for some other kids and broads. JUST A MESS

actually he got his son a Benz not a Bentley and why shouldn’t his son have one his father is Diddy! If he had bought him a honda yall would talk about that too atleast he takes care of his kids look at how many men don’t even claim their kids much less be responsible for them people get a life

Damn, he has NO clue what meglomania means!

“Whut? Uh, I guess so…”

This crap about giving the most ILLITERATE rappers prime-time shine is STALE.

Diddy is setting a bad example for all men. He disrespects women by not using protection, not marrying any of them and having so many baby mommas by hood rats! He’s a disgrace!

And y on earth would any1 trust an interview 2 Bashir??????????????

Dude did more 2 damage Michael Jackson’s image than all the allegations against him. His new name is Dumbdiddy.

The difference between Michael Jackson and Puff Daddy is that Michael had real talent. He was an “original artist”. Meaning…….all of his work was original and not stolen, sampled, pirated. Puff Daddy needs to go and sit his busted Johnny Appleseed spreadin’ behind down somewhere. He’s too dam* old to be actin this way. He’s getting to be the joke of tinseltown.

He’s stupid for trusting that creep. Didn’t he remember what this guy did to Michael Jackson? Surprised he still has a career after that betrayal.

Slim thug you need to listen to this brother diddy who’s been relevant for decades. First if you gonna say something controversial in the public eye, then be man enough and truthful enough to stand your ground and not take back what YOu believe in, at least diddy got ballz enough to say he’s not ashamed of spoiling his kids with extravagent items and the reason is simple and pure “HE WANTED TO DO IT HIS WAY”.

oh and i can’t stand Diddy or whatever his name is

Puff Daddy looks like a baboon and acts like one too

Look at all the pseudointellectuals in here!! Getting their rocks off because Diddy didn’t know what meglomania was(even though he isn’t successful b/c of his education)…smh I’m sure its plenty of billionaires out here that isn’t familiar with every word that can be thrown at them but it doesn’t matter because they got theirs($$$)!!!

sooooooooo i guess diddy killed pac?

M.Bashir is an artist killer look wat he did to MJ man no artist should talk to him he is evil!!

Even though I see Diddy as a pompous arrogant snake oil salesman I don’t think the interview needed to bring up his situation with his kids but since he did it must be said Diddy seems to overall be in their lives provide for them all and even helped raised Quincy who said many times that Diddy was there for him more than his Biological father Al B. Sure has ever been. So he might be a bad at relationships but care about his kids genuinely.

peewee: Honestly, I really thaught he was smarter than that but I guess money isn’t everything right? It was just so funny to see him stumble, it makes him more human I guess.

UGH; diddy gets as good as he gives!! there would be no diddy without biggie! wonder if biggie had lived???! Lil Kim!! diddy . . . still can’t stand this egomaniac!

He even got Diddy to say on the record that he knows he could spend more personal time with his kids, which is more valuable than money, private school tuition, and, yes, a Maybach.

Diddy didn’t sign a contract to babysit the worlds kids and no one sees him as an “example” except in business. F— Bashir, where his papers at?

…lokking at the interview nobody was “on blast” Sean handles him fine, wasn’t like he hadn’t heard it before.

@ Matix B

What is that in your photo…I love it.

@ SoNiceSoSayItTwice, did you say there would be no Diddy without Biggie??? Lil’ Kim?? Where are you from? Certainly not NYC because Diddy was doing things WAY before Biggie came around. When PUFF DADDY was at Uptown Records as an A&R exec, guess who he brought in? MJB, Jodeci and others. When he branched off on his own under Arista with Badboy, that deal was given to him because of his work with Uptown, not Biggie Smalls. If you’re going to talk about him, come correct with your information at least. I realize some of you may be of a younger generation than Diddy so you’re unaware of what he’s done prior to Biggie, but if that’s the case, do your research before blogging about where he would/wouldn’t be.

he can give his kids whatever he wants. If his child grows up to be a spoiled brat, so what!?! But, none of that money will be coming from my pocket because i refuse to buy his trash.

She said: My baby! LOL

Do White Rock Stars father as many children?

@Matix B ( Black Women are the SHYT)

Great SN, btw, lol.

@ Matix B

R U Serious…..LMAO!!!!

Advice LOL

She said: Naw I’m just in a crazy mood today!

Syd: Thank you my dear! We need all the love we can get!

It’s clear that Diddy isn’t the best role model for our youth HOWEVER protraying him as the worst role model is not completely necessary. He wants to be the “Black James Bond” not the black Ghandi! The man is saying that he is OK with how his image affects the youth because he believes there are far worse ways to be. I don’t completely agree with that though. I believe it’s selfish and lazy, but who gives a hoot what I think?

This is what destroyed the black family. This man is right on target. Having babies by several different women does not qualify you as a man and it doesn’t make you a father. Raising them does, not leaving all the work to the single mothers to do. Diddy is a 40 year old black boy with money but he ain’t a man.

It’s not about whether Diddy can financially support his children, instead it is about how are the siblings suppose to establish a relationship if they are spreaded across the world.

I’d like to see Bashir & Wendy Williams do an interview.

Diddy comes across as a sponsor not a Dad..Anybody can plant seeds not everybody knows how to grow them..My father(God rest his soul)lived w/us and he was there for us..he worked hard too but he made time to be a dad. We didnt have to call a bat phone nor email him etc. It’s a different time now and a sad time.

His line up of baby mamas just shows how unstable he really is and it’s not cute!

@Matix

“Syd: Thank you my dear! We need all the love we can get!”

Yes, sistagirl, you can say that twice. Good gravy. . .*putting my armor back on, lol*

BLACK MEN ARE KNOWN AS THE WORST FATHERS ON EARTH FOR A GOOD REASON. THEY DROP BABIES ALL OVER THE PLACE LIKE DOGS AND DON’T TAKE CARE OF THEM THEN THEY WONDER WHY BLACK CHILDREN HAVE DISCIPLINE PROBLEMS.

@Matix B ( Black Women and MEN are the SHYT)
I hear that sister!! Do you think he cares about what this snake has to say???? Not everyone can deal with getting married to one woman – it’s better for puffy the way he is – than getting married to get divorced after 6months… I won’t get married if I was in his shoes because I won’t shared half of my hard earned wealth with no WOMAN(black,green,red,yellow,blue,brown or colorless), believe that!!

To all those who want to criticize Diddy – didn’t OBAMA mess up an interview when he called the Cambridge Police Officer stupid after acknowledging that he doesn’t know the FULL DETAILS OF THE INCIDENT????….Leave DIDDY alone!!!

I would also like to see someone interview Kim Porter about what lessons she thinks are being imparted to her children. I cannot place all the blame on Diddy’s shoulders — it takes two to create a child, and even with his reputation, he still found women willing to procreate with him.

Um, do you see how OFTEN Diddy is with his kids? Traveling with his kids? FOr those who don’t know, Diddy does spend time with his kids, he’s just saying he doesn’t spend as MUCH time as he’d like with his kids–but hell that is the mantra of every top level working executive. Diddy’s no different! If you work a straigh 9-5 then sure, you’re with your kids a whole lot more, but if you’re an executive that travels regularly, you don’t. Period. Stop trying to make this more than what it is–a father, who admitted that he’d like to spend more time with his kids.

what about the girls who opened their legs for a quarter?. what responsibility do they have?
They know how diddy get down, if I was them, i’d be like, you not stucking that in me without a condom…period………

And I’m not Pro or Anti-Diddy, I’m just telling it like it is since some of you want to just make up ish.

His album going to be garbage

Diddy is a sellout with no real focus on what he actually wants, he is blessed with drive and ambition and that is why he is successful.Not because he is smart, but because is driven and his ego is tremendous. Just listen how to stumped he sounds when asked tough questions. Bashir is a tough interview and he is the only reporter who is in the mainstream who is not afraid of sticking it to dumb celebrities. Love it!

@Donny
Can a day go without people like you coming out of the cave to blame the black man for everything??? If brother MALCOLM X & MLK were alive today – they won’t change anything… Where was the woman when Diddy was broke????

We needs more Pan-Africanists!!!

Diddy is a boy who refuses to grow up into a man. I get the impression that he doesn’t like himself very much. Writing a check won’t make you a good father, a good role model for your children. Being with them, teaching them the right way, loving them, taking care of their emotional and financial needs is what a father does. This is what our grandfathers did and they had nothing financially, but they were upstanding men who took care of their own. Eighty-five percent of the black men in prisons were raised without a father, that should tell you something.

I hear very well and the point is his seed scattering..It wouldnt matter if he worked 13hrs a day..He’s not a grounded person on the homefront if he was then he wouldnt have several baby mamas he’d just have girlfriends.

Some people rag on Erykah Badu and praise Diddy..I love them all but,I’m a fan of black families under 1 roof!

I knew it, only took an hour for the black women’s where a bouts to be brought up! Both black males and females need to be better parents in general, but we all know that already. No need to beat a dead horse, this argument is not only redundant, but boring as all hell to say the least.

Erykah Badu, Kim Porter and Diddy all contribute to the problem. The women just as bad as the men when it comes to blowing up the family and pretending that it is normal to have children by just any old body without any regards to the childrens best interest. Badu has what, four kids by four different men. Trifling.

GOOD INTERVIEW DIDDY HANDLED HIMSELF WELL LOL.

i was around diddy and his peeps for years (though i never worked for him directly) and let me tell you that “ambition” that you hold so dear was actually lying, stealing, cheating, selfishness, narcissism, and a whole lot of other very undesirable and shameful things he did to get where his is. there are bodies laying everywhere–his artist record and bad boy is just a small part.

if that is “ambition” then give me a world full of lazy Black folks any day. this is just the dawning realization of a man who just now knows after 40 years that he is a steaming pile of sh*t.

Even though I can’t stand Diddy, he does have a point. You can question all you want about waht he does to/with his kids but he don’t have to answer to nobody when it comes to them….and we can all see that they are very well taken care of including the baby mommas…

Not a Diddy fan but there is too much hate on this man. How is he any different from any other rich and powerful man? You think all theses CEO’s, athletes/entertainers, high powered attorneys or physicians spend more time with their kids? If you live this lifestyle it is a trade off. More money = less time with the family. Quality time is more important than quantity. I don’t agree with all the baby mama’s but he does take care of them financially. And all parents [including regular working folk] wish they had more time to spend with their kids, but since we all like a roof over our heads and food in the fridge sacrifices have to be made…unless you’d rather he sat around like a bum.

HE MUST HAVE PAID SOMEONE ELSE TO GET THEM WOMEN PREGNANT LIKE HE PAYS FOR HIS LYRICS CAUSE EVERYBODY KNOWS DIDY IS G?AY. TAKE THAT TAKE THAT TAKE THAT.

[[[[REAL]]]]]]
[[[[[REAL]]]]]]
[[[[[TALK]]]]]]

… WANTED to be well known.

Only way Diddy can justify having all those kids by all those different women is if he has them all in the same home…he could do it if he really wanted to and I think he should although when it comes to his older kids it might be too late

the only thing that troubled me about this interview is the fact diddy is lying about who killed pac and biggie. he know damn well he was a part of biggie’s murder

Diddy CHOSE to do the Bashir interview so his fault he’s getting flustered? And Diddy has no idea what megalomania is!
@Roti4all wrong again, he’s from London…his parents are Pakistani.
@Realist you should check out your geography because I’m pretty sure Pakistan hasn’t ever even been in the United Arab Emirates. And Bashir is Christian. Research fail.

ITS VERY FUNNY HOW HE JUST WONT PUT A MEASLY
1 MILLION DOLLAR REWARD TO THE INFORMATION ON BIGGES DEATH WITH ALL THE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS HE HAS,CAUSE YALL NO WHY WE LOOKING AT THE MAIN PERSON BEHIND IT. TAKE THAT TAKE THAT
TAKE THAT .

Bashir must not know of any wealthy household where husband. wife, and children all live together under the same roof, yet the father is so consumed by work that he is emotionally unavailable to his family. The kids could tell you. I’m not saying it’s okay for any man, but the fact that he has several children by several women is not keeping him from spending time with his children. He fails to do so for other reasons. It’s not like he couldn’t bring them all to him when he got ready to see them.

==============================
I don’t care if he’s from London or pluto – Pakistani is an Arab Country and they ain’t different from their neighbours in Afghanistan… You need to study your geography and look at the history of the tribes in Pakistan and Afghanistan to know this… An Arab is an Arab – christian,muslim or pagan – they don’t like black people…

Since you’re from the UK – do you remember the Birmingham riot in the UK between blacks and pakistanis??? That happened during my exchange course program in Kings College – and they killed a lot of black people… Their brothers in North Africa are not different – they live in the motherland but they don’t like black people…

You British people are just sensitive about everything – why’re y’all so mad??? Is it because the Empire collapsed??? I just saw on CNN how your media outlets are attacking Obama because of his criticism of BP on the oil spill – y’all need to get a grip!!

Where is Diddy’s father?

@chaka1

Where is Diddy’s father?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Diddy’s father was murdered.

I respected this Man … his life is his life! But for me, only one father to my children!

I truly believe your attitude as an adult is often influenced by your childhood. The fact that Diddy’s father was killed when Diddy was child explains a lot.

I honestly believe those who grew up with two parents in the household have different views on relationships, commitment, and marriage than those who did not.

I THINK HE HANDLED HIS BIZNESS WELL. I THINK IT WAS WASTEFUL SENDING TO PURCHASE D CAR, BUT IT WAS HIS RIGHT…STILL NOT A FAN THO.

@Realist
You’re very touchy. All I said was Pakistan isn’t in the UAE and Bashir isn’t a Muslim. I have no beef with any Asians and I don’t really see how 90% of that comment was relevant but if random ranting makes you happy you go right ahead

Sean “Puff Daddy, Puffy, P-Diddy, Diddy” Combs is just as convaluted in his life as he is in trying to find the “right” name for himself. Need we say anymore? Dude is a joke that just happened to be sweeping the right floors in the right office at the right time!

Diddy has Peter Pan Syndrome , have a great weekend gouys happy blogging!

GTFOH with that BS – you said research failed – and I was trying to son you, bruh… Arabs ain’t only in UAE – they are everywhere from Africa to Asia and to the Arabian Pennisula – you need to go back to your geography cla$$, bruh…The comment was relevant because of your myopic response – if you want to call that “ranting” – goodluck to you, bruh!!

“How is he any different from any other rich and powerful man? You think all theses CEO’s, athletes/entertainers, high powered attorneys or physicians spend more time with their kids?

How does anyone on this site know how much time he spends with his children?

Hmmm…sweeping the right floors in the right office at the right time…hmmmmm….You can hate him, but he has done MORE than that!

I don’t agree with the six kids/multiple baby mamas or the way it seems his artists have been treated.

Oh, and I honestly don’t think he “stumbled” over his words. I really think he was holding back on saying what he really feels. He’s known for shouting the expletives.

Ain’t no elitists here laughing at Dumbdiddy’s lack of vocabulary, Hillary. We’re cracking up because NOT only dumbdidn’t he know what a megalomanic was, NOT only dumbdidn’t he use context clues 2 figure out the meaning, but the fact that Dumbdiddy affirmatively ANSWERED THE FUGGIN’ QUESTION!!!!!

4 a lot of knee-grow rappers who like 2 boast about their verbal virtuosity, that was an epic FAIL!

Hats off to MB for a job well done. Judging by the # of comments as well as the references to the MJ interview from eons ago, he succeeds at what any journalist worth his salt aims for…a thought-provoking piece.

^Not as sensitive as you seem to be, mate. I actually can’t even be bothered responding to your post. It’s getting late and obviously both parties in this debate are too stubborn for it to go anywhere…

OK PEOPLE WHAT DOES “megalomania” MEAN. BEFORE THIS INTERVIEW HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THE WORD? YOU MF’S ARE A JOKE. DIDDY CAN BUY THE DAMN WORD. STOP HATIN ON THIS MAN FOR LIVING HOW YOU WISH YOU COULD. WHERE IS YOUR NEXT MORTGAGE PAYMENT COMING FROM. IF YOU LOSE YOUR JOB TOMORROW CAN YOU PAY YOUR BILLS?

Don’t get mad because I sonned your azz, bruh!!

I’m a girl by the way but if you want to think you’ve ‘won’ a debate then you go right ahead, most of you’re comments on this site are pretty ‘out there’ anyway

realist is an idiot.

take that take that take that diddy. LOL

yes, he’s willing to admit that he needs more time with his children. I just kept 4 family members ages 7-14. Went to the zoo, mall, amusement park, Canada, etc. When asked about the best part of their trip they all said swimming and our dinners together talking. They didn’t mention the polo store or the amusement park. In the end, kids only remember how you make them feel.

I’m no Sean Combs supporter, but for the record, Mr. Combs has three biological children w/long-time girlfriend, Kim Porter and is the informal stepfather to Ms. Porter’s son with Al B Sure; additionally he has a child with his high school sweetheart, and another child with a former companion. Basically there are three mothers. I think it’s commendable that he acknowledges Ms. Porter’s son as his own. It’s pretty hypocritical, in my opinion, to condemn the man for having children with three mothers. Considering people are married and divorced that many times, with children from multiple marriages/relationships. Fathers in the home don’t always contribute financially, emotionally, or morally to the upbringing of their children. Furthermore, being married is no guarantee that the woman or man will be around for the long haul. As long as he is accessible to his children, spends quality time, supports them financially and emotionally, he’s doing a lot right.

I don’t know why Mr. Combs would even give that muckraking, scumbag, Bashir an interview. Bashir is no moral authority.

Exactly@Keep it real.

and Rajon Rondo mindf@#$$in everybody!!! NOW

That was such a terrible interview attacking the man parenting skill calling him megalomaniac…Seriously…Every successful person can be consider a megalomaniac Donald Trump..all the shahs in the middle east with their mega yachts and ex-amount of mansions and cars..I think this interview also had a racial undertone to it to IMO…

I honestly can’t stand diddy, however, I agree with him when it comes to his kids. If he’s not abusing them in any way, it’s not anyone’s business what he does. I don’t care how many baby mamas or kids he has. That’s his business. Too many people try to put celebrities in the role model mold and it’s not their jobs to raise your kids. If you instill your kids with a strong sense of self then you shouldn’t have to worry about what kind of role model some stranger is because they wouldn’t be any role model.

That being said, he owes us nothing. He owes us no explanations when it comes to his personal life. He still can eat a box of d*cks though.

@ Manchester UK

The Arab diaspora is global. Arabs live on every continent and in almost every country.

Once again Diddys shows that he can HOLD is OWN! good interview Mr John

@1word

Thank God you can’t…then we’d have little morons like you and Dipsy running around. This dude is an idiot. He has money but how in the heck can you provide stability in a childs life when you have so many spread out? Again, 1word, thank God you can’t!! Next time think about what you’re going to say before you say it. Stupid stays in print forever!!!

I think diddy has self-esteem issues and is a control freak. He is the focus of everything he does and it looks like he only wants himself tosucceed. look at all of the making the band’s where are they now? and where is he? I guess he only kept dawn because he knew he could use her for his next abulm and she never looks happy on set or in the photoshoots and look at mase, it took so long to get his papers from diddy to be released from bad boy. If diddy didnt have money, i dnt think much people would wana be around him because of his attitude.

Lol. So according to some of the people on the post, a man is free to have as many children out of wedlock as long as he can take care of them. I guess.

he should have interviewed jay z. jay z will put him in his place. diddy is just stupid. a 40 yr old man with a 17 yr old boys brain.

yes, this interview made me very uncomfortable. I had to turn the tv. lol. Bashir went in on diddy.

when bashir mentioned that he was acting like a megalomanic, diddy had that chicken of the sea, jessica simpson look on his face, it was priceless. he might be good at what he does, but he isn’t very intelligent, and giving his son a 400k car just because he can, it was for his image with the folks, they appreciate that kind of thing, it wasn’t a good parenting decision

Yes he knows who killed Biggie and Tupac…He is profiting off of the blood of a dead man…Suge Knight called him out years ago….he was he gonna shine with Biggie in the way…He wasn’t so..there u go folks!!! and the dave chappelle reference was priceless!!

@thisiswhywerelosing. Are you serious or joking? You must reeealy hate Diddy to pin two unsolved murders on him, that in reality were linked to the LA underworld(street gangs,deviants and the worst people in society) Suge Knight is the grand puba of that enviroment. I’m not a fan of Diddy or a hater but to insinuate that he had Biggie murdered is really over the top. He’s been insulted/dissed by others and there still walking around breathing. Wow I didn’t know people think this way for real!
