“Sean Combs, known to many as Puff Daddy, has changed his name several times throughout his career. He began as Puff Daddy, transitioned to P. Diddy, then to Diddy, and eventually to Love or Brother Love. He also briefly went by Swag for a week in 2011. In 2017, he legally changed his middle name to Love, making his full name Sean Love Combs.

Here's a more detailed timeline of his name changes:

1996-1998: Puff Daddy

1999: Puffy

2001-2004: P. Diddy

2005-2009: Diddy

2011: Swag (temporarily, for a week)

2017-Present: Love/Brother Love, legally changed middle name to Love”
