Say goodbye to Sean “P. Diddy” Combs and hello to Sean Love Combs.
The 51-year-old Ciroc founder took to Twitter to share an image of his updated Florida driver’s license, evidently proving that he legally changed his middle name to “Love.”
“Look what I just got in the mail today… IT’S OFFICIAL!!! WELCOME TO THE LOVE ERA,” he wrote.

A name change is nothing new for Combs — in 1997, the then-producer introduced himself to the world as Puff Daddy (the name under which he first found fame), before deciding to switch back to Sean John the following year. Three years later, the mogul opted for the moniker P. Diddy, which he shortened to Diddy in 2005. Combs announced that he had changed his name to “Brother Love” or “Love” in 2017, but later revealed that the name change was a joke.
The music mogul also shared an image of all of his previous signatures, which read Puffy, Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, and Diddy, before including an updated iteration that incorporates his new middle name in a more creative manner.
