Rapper Diddy fined in Britain for name-change

Tha Boricua Flow · 09-10-2006, 03:40 AM

US rap superstar Sean Combs must change his name once again after losing the right to call himself Diddy in Britain to a disgruntled little-known music producer, newspapers reported Saturday.

Combs, 36, who used to call himself Puff Daddy, Puffy and P Diddy, agreed to pay more than £100,000 pounds ($247,000) legal costs and £10,000 ($24,700) damages as part of a settlement sealed earlier this week at the High Court in London.

London-based Richard Dearlove, who has traded under the Diddy name since 1992, sued Combs after he dropped the P from his moniker, under laws designed to protect commercial interests from unfair competition.

"He changed his name to Diddy. I was gutted," Dearlove told The Guardian newspaper.

"I started getting emails from Puerto Rican girls asking if they could be in my video and people were asking me to look at their clothing line."

Combs, who presides over a vast media empire and fashion lines, and whose hits include 'I'll Be Missing You', will now have to rebrand himself in Britain, which could prove costly.
