Sean 'P Diddy' Combs has changed his name for the fifth time

He has gone from 'Puff Daddy' to 'P Diddy'. He went back to 'Puff Daddy', then for one week in 2011 he went as 'Swag', and as of a few days ago it was 'Brother Love'!

Sean 'Diddy' Combs published a video on Instagram letting the world know that he would now be going as 'Brother Love'.

I smiled while watching this. I mean, who can say anything negative to a guy who wants to be called 'Brother Love'. Hell, the world needs more love, right?!

Given his track record, I never know what to call him, but 'P Diddy' seems to stick in my mind.

I had a giggle when he went on to say he wouldn't answer to any of his other names, only to the 'Love' or 'Brother Love'.

Whatever floats your boat, I suppose, but like Snoop Dog changing to 'Snoop Lion', he will always in my mind be Snoop Doggy Dog.

If you could choose a rap name, what would it be?

In a twisted tale, eight hours ago Sean 'Diddy' Combs released yet another video, this time saying that his name change was a joke! He went on to apologise and say that this is his alter ego. 

Sean says that he will still go as Diddy, but if anyone would like to call him 'Brother love' they are welcome to.

Watch the video below and let us know if he retracted his name because of the bad public backlash or if it was just a simple joke gone wrong?

We would love to know what you think.
