In 1988, Puffy entered Howard University, where his entrepreneurial drive immediately kicked into high gear. He started out promoting house parties and campus concerts; he also reportedly nurtured a lucrative side business selling term papers and old exams. Two years at Howard were enough for Puffy to realize that it was time to move on to something bigger and better. He dropped out, but quickly succeeded in convincing Andre Harrell, the head of Uptown Records in New York, to give him an internship. Harrell was himself an aspiring musician—he was the Mr. Jekyll half of the mid-eighties rap duo Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde—and he saw in Puffy the same burning desire to get ahead that he had when he was a young man.
Uptown's talent roster was mostly composed of young, unproven R&B singers, in addition to rappers like Heavy D. The also unproven Puffy's youthful enthusiasm thus seemed the perfect fit for Uptown, and it wasn't long before he had struck up a father-son bond with Harrell. In fact, Harrell was so fond of Puffy that he gave him room and board, in addition to a small intern's salary. In time, Puffy's promotional skills had eclipsed whole Uptown departments, and his contributions to hit singles by groups like Jodeci made him even more invaluable to the company. Within a year, Harrell had crowned his intern Vice President of Promotion.
On December 28 of that same year, 1991, Puffy had his first bitter taste of tragedy. A charity celebrity basketball game he organized at New York's City College came to a violent and untimely conclusion when the overcrowded and impatient audience broke into a stampede. Nine people died in the melee, and Puffy's poor organization and failure to provide a security force were cited by authorities as the causes of the incident. Those close to Puffy said that he was devastated, and that it was then that he learned how to demonstrate resilience in the face of tragedy—a trait he would come to rely on heavily in the future.
The fallout from the event didn't keep Puffy down for long. He produced multi-platinum albums for Jodeci and for soul-sensation Mary J. Blige, whose debut album, What's the 411? is now regarded as the seminal example of hip-hop/R&B fusion. The success of those efforts prompted Puffy to launch his own label, Bad Boy Entertainment. The first artist he wanted to sign was a Brooklyn rapper by the name of Biggie Smalls, whose real name was Christopher Wallace, but who performed under the moniker the Notorious B.I.G. He had been passed a tape of B.I.G.'s music by an editor at The Source magazine who felt that Puffy could alchemize the rapper's talent. Indeed, he was captivated by B.I.G.'s vivid lyricism and New York sound.
Whether you love him or hate him, there's no denying P. Diddy's uncanny knack for success. Formerly known as Puff Daddy, Sean Combs started Bad Boy Records in the mid-1990s, after working at Uptown, producing records for the likes of Mary J Blige and Jodeci. Bad Boy blew up almost immediately, thanks to the hugely popular acts like Biggie and Ma$e among others. After Biggie's murder, Puffy became larger than ever before, with multi-platinum solo albums, Grammy awards, etc. He also expanded his empire to incorporate new ventures, including his own clothing company Sean John. Though ridiculously famous and wealthy, he also went through some high-profile trials and tribulations, such as the Club New York shooting (Puff was acquitted; Shyne got 15 years) and getting dumped by hottie du jour Jennifer Lopez. Through it all, he has remain virtually unscathed, and continues to play both sides of the fence, working with pseudo-thug rappers and hobnobbing in the Hamptons with the ultra-rich. In 2002, his compilation LP We Invented The Remix debuted on the charts at number one.
IN just a few years, Sean "Puffy" Combs has transformed himself from a streetwise party promoter and record company intern into one of the most commercially successful producer-entrepreneurs in music history. Puffy, or "Puff Daddy," as he is alternately known, was barely into his twenties when he first started exercising his Midas touch by producing multi-platinum albums for such artists as Jodeci and Mary J. Blige; in short order, he became vice president of Uptown Records, and not much later, he founded his own label, Bad Boy Entertainment.
While at Uptown, Puffy established the careers of rappers Craig Mack and Christopher Wallace, a.k.a. the Notorious B.I.G. And in 1997 alone, he masterminded an astonishing three No. 1 records. But as successful and influential as he's grown, Combs' life has been plagued by its fair share of controversy: From his ongoing feud with his West Coast counterpart, Death Row Records founder Suge Knight, to the slaying of his friend Notorious B.I.G., to the contempt he has elicited from those within the hip-hop underground, Puffy has frequently been the subject of debate. What is less open to debate is that Puffy Combs is indeed the man of the moment.
Sean Combs was born in 1970 in Harlem, the first of Melvin and Janice Combs' two children. Janice was an aspiring model, while Melvin was a notorious street hustler whose lifestyle caught up with him when he was shot dead in Central Park—Sean was only three at the time. For the next ten years, the family continued to live in Harlem, where Sean witnessed firsthand the prime years of hip-hop's explosive evolution. From block parties to b-boy battles in the park, the seeds of his dream of becoming an entertainer were being sown.
When he was twelve, his mother relocated the family to the suburbs of Mount Vernon, New York, where Sean attended an all-male private school called Mount St. Michael's Academy. Legend has it that he earned his nickname at the school: as a member of the football team, he apparently "puffed" out his chest to make himself look stronger than he actually was—hence the name Puffy.
