Diddy was on VH1 Hip Hop Honors last night. He presented the New Jack Swing portion, honoring Andre Harrell and Teddy Riley. He spoke of seeing Teddy Riley performing in Harlem in the 80s and the opportunity and knowledge that Andre Harrell gave him. After introducing the producers, he jumped into the box that Andre Harrell was sitting in and rocked with him during the performances. It looked like they were having a lot of fun.

On a related note, during Missy Elliott's portion of the show, she shouted off Puff for getting her out there when she was an unknown.

From the AP:

Call him Daddy, not Diddy. Sean "Diddy" Combs has admitted to fathering a child with another woman while he was still dating Kim Porter. The 15-month-old girl named Chance is the hip-hop mogul's sixth child. Combs told the Daily News of New York that he's "committed to being a good father" to the girl, whose mother is an Atlanta woman named Sarah Chapman. "At first, I wasn't sure if this was my child," Diddy said. "Now that it has become clear she is, I will take care of her for the rest of her life."

I've talked about my feelings on this, but in the end, you have to move forward. I expected that he would do this. You can say what you want about having 5 kids with 3 different women, though it's not really anyone's business, but he doesn't neglect his kids.

EURweb.com has details on Diddy's VH1 Hip Hop Honors appearance.

Sean "Diddy" Combs took the stage to introduce his mentor Andre Harrell, calling him the "Berry Gordy of his time." Also paying homage to Teddy Riley, Diddy dubs him the "first dude to rock the dark shades indoors," citing him as the "original best of both worlds in hip hop & R&B" and as one of the "greatest producers of all time."

Diddy's intro led into the New Jack Swing tribute, which began with Guy's hit single, "I Like" performed by Ne-Yo, and the Keith Sweat hit, "I Want Her" performed by T-Pain, all with the man himself, Teddy Riley on the keyboard. Kool Moe Dee popped on stage to rap his own New Jack Swing hit, "How You Like Me Now." Then, Riley grabbed the mic and performed his Blackstreet hit "No Diggity" and the Wreckx N Effect classic, "Rump Shaker."

The show airs tonight on VH1 and VH1 Soul at 10 PM ET.

iTunes has added a pre-order option for Jay-Z's upcoming album, "American Gangster". The tracklisting that they are showing includes, at track 11, "I Get Money (Remix)". It doesn't list any artists besides Jay-Z, but obviously the "I Get Money (Remix)" also had 50 Cent and Diddy. The album is slated for a November 6 release, so we'll know soon enough.

From cbs4.com:

The Miami-Dade Empowerment Trust was formed eight years ago to help the county's poorest neighborhoods to rise above poverty, and that mission has been fueled by tax dollars. ...

... an extensive investigation by CBS4 news partner The Miami Herald published in Sunday's editions of the newspaper paints a different picture, that of an agency lacking oversight making questionable expenditures on items which don't meet the stated mission...

... one odd use of the trust's millions of taxpayer dollars involving the MTV Video Music Awards ... Diddy was flown into Miami and home again on a private jet, at the cost of $87,000 ... The money for the flight did not come from MTV; it came from the trust...

Nothing really to do with Diddy, but I wanted to mention it, anyway. The trust's website lists economic development as one of their goals... bringing the MTV Awards (and Diddy) to Miami would seem to be a way to create an economic boost for the area that would offset that $87,000, but perhaps not.

Watch below. Not too much to say about it. Just a short clip of him saying what's unforgivable.

AllHipHop.com has an interview with Diddy, focusing on fragrance and fashion.

AllHipHop.com: What brands did you rock when you were coming up?

Diddy: Oh man on the fragrance tip I loved the Calvin Klein Obsession stuff. To be honest in the beginning a lot of our inspiration on really doing things that were authentic and pushing the envelope were inspired from Calvin and growing up around then. These are the images they never seen in this game, they never seen like a man in bed with two women or like some shots taken in the stairwell. It’s all of that 9 And A Half Weeks and Rendezvous things that we all experienced. You can work in a post office and you can have your own little 9 And A Half Weeks experience. We all can relate to that.

AllHipHop.com spoke with Diddy on the "I Get Money" remix. A sampling:

"If it came down to a video, I would make sure the video is right," ... "The session was the way you can imagine it. It was a billion dollars in the building. It was a lot of power in there. You basically had the powerhouses of Hip-Hop all in one room and we had a ball."

"People say that s*** and they making it up [in their rhymes] but I was on the cover of Forbes with Jerry Seinfeld ten years ago. So the world is just catching up," ... "I’ve had my subscription since I’ve been nineteen years old with Forbes and Robb Report and Fortune Magazine. I stays on the lists.

To have that articulated in the most craziest pop s*** way and then to have two of your counterparts [50 Cent and Jay-Z] critique your verse and give it the thumbs up? It isn't even fair."

Diddy spoke with MTV on the "I Get Money" remix and the process of creating his verse:

There's been a lot of hoopla surrounding the remix of 50 Cent's "I Get Money," featuring three of the biggest titans in the game: 50, Jay-Z and Diddy. Was Jay going at LL Cool J? Was Diddy going at Mase? Well, according to the Bad Boy CEO, there was no type of animosity between Forbes' hip-hop cash kings when they got together to record. And he should know: Jay and Fif actually helped him write his verse, he told us.

"Everybody put all the greasy, slick-talk to the side," Diddy explained. "And we all got in the studio and cooked up something real special for the people. That would've been impossible [for us to be dissing anyone] being that we all sat in the same room and everybody helped me out with my verse, to finish it up. ... It just wasn't that type of energy, you know what I'm saying? And the song ain't really taking shots at anybody to be honest. It's really just putting down your status in the game. Everything I said on there I did. I wasn't just ... on top of the Forbes list. I was on the cover of Forbes. You know, 10 years ago, before cats even knew what the magazine was."

Going at Mase? Which part of the verse could that be? Was Mase riding around in Miami on mopeds? heh.
