Diddy always seems to get himself caught up in some wild predicaments but this one picture for the upcoming issue of GQ that is just priceless. In 'Diddy: On Record" with Fuse, he speaks on how he would have been a king pin and the influence of his mother.
On finding out his father was murdered and was one of Harlem's leading drug dealers:
"I had looked up my father's name, and I saw an article about my mother wearing a full length chinchilla to a funeral and taking me, and I was in a mink, and the story was of glamour and the decadence of our family, and how he was the kingpin of Harlem, and how he had got assassinated. I understood why my mother didn't tell me the truth because where I was living, I probably would have been one of the biggest drug dealers out there. The type of person I am, I would have wanted to follow in my father's footsteps."
On his mother being a big influence:
"My mother is why I am, who I am today. People can say what they want to say, but I just represent being sucker free, working hard and being positive. I don't hate on nobody, I'm not a negative individual. I just wake up and I go for mine and I try to work the hardest I can work. I could have gone a lot of different routes, but I decided to go the route of hard work."
On the motivation to continue after all his success:
"The motivation is to be better. There's room for improvement for me as a recording artist, even as a producer, as a man, as a mogul. It's not even about greed or 'when will he stop?' because I'm just not going to. I'm not going to stop, probably ever. It's a love; it's not money because the money has been achieved."
On his biggest business mistake:
"I think one of my biggest business mistakes was not realizing that not everybody wasn't like me. Everybody didn't have the drive and determination; everybodys just not built for that. I think that some people need more time, and more nurturing... I mean artists that I've had. I've gotten older, I've become a little bit more nurturing and I've been a little more patient."
