First single "Come to Me" featuring the Pussycat Dolls' Nicole Scherzinger is No. 13 on Billboard's Hot Rap Tracks chart this week. Diddy will perform the track later tomorrow (Sept. 7) in Miami Beach as part of NBC's "NFL Kickoff" show, which will also feature Yung Joc, Cassie, Tego Calderon and Ozomatli.
In the latest video posted on Diddy's MySpace.com page, Diddy is getting ready for the VMAs and he goes through a bit of his skin care regimen. Some funny stuff. But, when he goes over over his secrets and mentions number 3 (at 1:02), he throws a little subliminal back at 50 Cent. Watch it below. To quote:
Number 3, boys and girls, is one of my biggest secrets. A bubble bath. Now, I know some of you gangsta (coin drops) rappers out there, y'all don't take bubble baths. But, you need to start. So, you can slow down and think about what you're saying. Oh, yes, you do.
And then he makes kind of a, if I had to describe it, serious smile.
TMZ.com has a video of Diddy talking about his election into the Walk of Fame and also Press Play. Not much we didn't already know, but there you have it.
As I was flipping through Unbelievable (which looks very interesting), I couldn't help but think: man, I cannot wait to read Diddy's autobiography. You have to consider everything he's done, everything he's accomplished, everyone he's been around and everything he's gone through. It's astonishing. I hope that when he steps back, maybe 10 years from now or whatever, he does write one so that we can find out more about what happened and see it through his eyes. And when he does, I will be one of the first to pre-order it.
Pharoah has also been busy penning songs for Diddy's new album. He wrote three joints on the LP, saying that the Proactive pretty boy requested him and that the two had great chemistry while working on the project. "He basically told me that he wanted to get really introspective about his pops and that he wanted to talk about his inhibitions and the things that bother him."
