 Sean Combs will keep his moniker Diddy.. Well, thats what his rep is telling MTV News.. Despite widespread reports that Sean "Diddy" Combs had changed his name to Sean John, his rep clarified the situation to MTV News on Thursday (January 24). "Recent reports of a name change are totally false, he is still Diddy," the rep wrote. "He is currently in 'Sean John' mode as the upcoming Sean John fashion show is scheduled for February 8 in New York."
This all comes after a report, where Combs' reportedly said, "Right now I want to be Sean John because that's where I am."
Who knows, Puffy has yet to use the Sean John moniker officially..

Sean "Diddy" Combs addressed the recent name issue with UK artist/producer Richard "Diddy" Dearlove on his MySpace blog. Combs will release Press Play in the US as Diddy and Press Play as P. Diddy in the UK. "It's only fair that since he said he used Diddy first, that he be allowed to use it."
"I am blessed that I have many, many names to choose from and on October 17th, Press Play will be released from Diddy in the U.S. and from P.Diddy in Europe."

Looks like the Bad Boy Mogul and CEO, Sean Combs will be changing his name, again. Well at least in the UK, Sean Combs' former monikers, include Puffy, Puff Daddy, P Diddy, and Diddy, since last August. Until recent Combs' had been challenged over his current trade name, "Diddy" by UK artist and producer, Richard "Diddy" Dearlove. Combs settled his case outside UK Royal Courts of Justice.. More from the Washington Post:
Sean Combs is Diddy no more _ at least in Britain. The musician and entertainment mogul has agreed to drop the Diddy name as part of an out-of court legal settlement with London-based music producer Richard "Diddy" Dearlove, the law firm representing Dearlove said Monday.
Solicitors Jens Hills & Co. said Combs had agreed to "rebrand his commercial activities" in Britain and would "no longer be able to trade in the U.K. as 'Diddy.'" Combs' lawyer, Nigel Calvert, could not immediately be reached for comment.
Dearlove launched a lawsuit for unfair competition, claiming the name change had caused confusion. The case had been due to go to the High Court next month. "I started getting e-mails from Puerto Rican girls asking if they could be in my video and people were asking me to look at their clothing line," Dearlove was quoted as saying by The Guardian newspaper.
