Diddy changes his name

Diddy announced that he has decided to change his moniker for a while. US rapper – whose real name is Sean Combs – claimed that he would temporarily be known as Swag. He added that the decision to accept this name is explained by his desire to mark an overcoming of serious illness.

"I was sick for a week, and I had a lot to think about when I was almost dying underneath the covers with a fever. But I'm not dead, I am alive. So I decided that I'm going to change my name for a week, in honour of my comeback", he wrote on his Twitter account.

Rapper added: "I'm not going as Puff, Puffy, Puff Daddy, P Diddy, Diddy, King Combs - for this week only, you can call me by my new name Swag".

Diddy released his most recent album Last Train To Paris in 2010.
