COMBS PROUD NAME CHANGE STUCK WITH PRESS
Music mogul SEAN COMBS is impressed by the media's acceptance of his multiple monikers - because no other star has managed to sway the press to take their new names seriously.
Sean Combs arrives for his appearance at the Tribe Hyper Club as part of Formula One week, Montreal, Canada - 07.06.08
The 38-year-old star has entertained a host of names to define new personas for his business ventures and personal life - most recently requesting the P be dropped from his latest nickname P. Diddy.
And the business tycoon insists the confusion surrounding his symbolic name changes are inconsequential, because so many other high-profile artists are still grappling with the press to change their names in print.
He says, "I do take pride in being able to successfully change my name and having the media actually change my name in print. Prince, he wasn't able to do it. Garth Brooks, he wasn't able to do it. I think I'm the only person that has successfully been able to do it, and I just have fun with it.
"It is confusing on Google though. Because I would probably be higher up on Google ranks if I just had one name."
