Sean “Diddy” Combsis in his “love” era.
“So there’s been the ‘Puff Daddy’ era, the ‘P. Diddy’ era, but I dropped the P. Then it was the ‘Diddy’ era and now, this is the ultimate goal,” he explained. “I have become Love.”
Norton then asked if he should call Diddy “Love,” to which the “I’ll Be Missing You” singer admitted that it can get “confusing.”
“Y’all call me Diddy. Call me Diddy, but when I’m being ‘Love,’ and I’m in that mood because I have to always remind myself that we live in a toxic world and it’s love vs. hate. That’s what’s going on right now. And I choose love,” he clarified.
“That’s my new name, and love wins. Love wins, let’s go y’all!,” he added to the audience.
Along with the photo of the ID, Combs also added a snap of himself writing “Love” inside of a heart, with different iterations of his signature above it.

The name change also inspired his new EPThe Love Album: Off the Grid, which he released in September. The project marked Diddy’s first solo album since 2006’s Press Play, which included the hits “Come to Me” featuringNicole Scherzingerand “Last Night” featuring Keyshia Cole.
“The thing about it is the game that goes with it. It’sThe Love Albumbut you have to go off the grid. That means you have to get with your significant other and turn off your Wi-Fi, lock the door, put on a red light, put on this album and then just go with the flow,” he described the album onJimmy Kimmel Live!.
