Sean ''Diddy'' Combs Changes His Name to ''Brother Love'' on His 48th Birthday


Happy birthday to our main man...Brother Love?
As those crazy kids Romeo and Juliet once taught us about the importance of the question, "What's in a name?"—so has Sean 
"Diddy" Combs. For the rapper, the answer to the query is: both a lot and a little.
The constantly name-changing music mogul, who was born Sean John Combs, announced today that he has decided to once again tweak his moniker—this time he's moving from "Diddy" to "Love" or "Brother Love."
In 1997, Sean was known as "Puff Daddy." A year later, he went back to using Sean John. In 1999, he flipped the script and started going by "Puffy." After that, he used "P.Diddy" as his professional name and more recently he's gone with the nickname "Diddy." We thought that it would last forever, but not so fast...
In a Twitter video that the beach-going Love (because that's what we're calling him now) posted earlier today, coincidentally his birthday, the bday boy wrote, "I decided to change my name again! My new name is LOVE aka Brother Love. #TakeDat."


In the sunny video, the 48-year-old addressed his legion of fans, "Hey y’all. I have some very serious serious news. I’ve been praying on this. I decided that—I know it’s risky and I know it’s corny to some people—but I decided to change my name again."
Explaining that he was no longer feeling "Diddy."
The mercurial musician added, "I’m just not who I am before. I’m something different. Some new name is Love aka Brother Love. I will not be answering to Puffy, Diddy, Puffy Daddy or any of my other monikers but Love or Brother Love."
Not all of his fans are feeling the love on Love's new name.
But fret not naysayers, if the past has any bearing on the future, the "Can't Hold Me Down" rapper will probably change it again in no time.
What do you think of Brother Love? Sound off in the comments!

South Korean opposition leader: Nukes are the only way to guarantee peace

Seoul needs nuclear weapons of its own if it is to negotiate with North Korea on an equal footing, a leading South Korean opposition figure says. A once marginal call for South Korea to add nuclear weapons to its arsenal has gained momentum and support in recent months as Pyongyang's nuclear capabilities have gone from theoretical threat to present danger. "Only by deploying tactical (nuclear) weapons on South Korean territory can we negotiate with North Korea on an equal footing," said Hong Jun-pyo, who will travel to Washington next week to press his case to US lawmakers. Hong leads the conservative Liberty Korea Party, which was formed from the rump of President Park Geun-hye's Saenuri Party after it collapsed amid infighting and finger pointing in the wake of her impeachment on corruption and other charges. While Moon Jae-in, who beat Hong to replace Park as President in May, still has widespread support, Hong represents a growing swell of dissent from con...

US has drones and hundreds of troops in Niger. Here's why

The killing of four American soldiers  has drawn attention to the role of US troops in western Africa, where several terror networks roam freely. In the region, the US has enemies all around. Niger shares a border with Mali, where an al Qaeda affiliate and other Islamist groups thrive in the vast desert. It also borders Libya, where ISIS and other extremists are regrouping, and Nigeria, where Boko Haram is a major challenge. The Defense Department said 50 ISIS-affiliated fighters ambushed the soldiers on October 4, leaving two others wounded. As a debate rages over President Donald Trump's phone calls to the soldiers' grieving families, here are things to know about the US operations in Niger: American troops have been in Niger for years The US has previously said it has troops there. But it did not go into much detail. In 2013, the White House announced that then-President Barack Obama had deployed 100 military personnel to Niger. Burnett on Trump politicizing soldier...

Grace Jones says she was sexually harassed during casting for first big film

Musician, actress and model Grace Jones has revealed she was sexually harassed when she landed her first big acting role. Speaking to CNN's Christiane Amanpour on Thursday, Jones said the unnamed producer on the Ossie Davis-directed film asked her to bring her portfolio to his house so that he could make a final call on her casting. "He (the producer) poured some champagne, he was in his bathrobe and of course, took me to a room ... it was his bedroom," Jones said. "So with the champagne, even then at that young age ... I threw it in his face and walked out the door." The 69-year-old's account comes in the wake of multiple allegations of sexual harassment and assault in the entertainment industry. Dozens of women have accused Harvey Weinsten of sexual harassment and police are investigating assault claims. Weinstein has apologized for his behavior, but he denies all allegations of nonconsensual sex. Jones said that for alleged perpetrators of...
