        That is because it is a legal proceeding which uses legal names unless the judge allows for an exception.

      That’s great.

      Me, I like other people do call me Superman. Some do, out of pity probably. But most people who actually matter, like my employer, the postal services or the taxman, call me John B. Nobody.

      This inmate’s name is Sean Combs.

        Imagine getting this butt-blasted over someone’s preference.

          Is it actually a preferred name or is it a stage name?

          Also how did puff daddy become diddy? I never understood that but I guess if I cared more I would have followed it closer

            I just googled that too. Apparently he made the change to P Diddy in 2001 after being acquitted of guns and bribery cases to signify he was turning over a new leaf.

            He dropped the P in 2005.

        His name is Sean Combs but he is called Diddy because that is his stage name, which he used for decades.

        Is the meme a courtroom proceeding?
