Awesome. Of course the guy who makes the whole world sing has a trademarked name. I wonder if all of Diddy’s names are trademarked.

It’s actually pretty common for well-known entertainers to trademark their names in order to have some ability to control how the name is used, especially in connection with commercial ventures. Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Billy Joel, Mariah Carey, Kanye West and many others have done it.
