Rap mogul Sean “Puffy” Combs just made it easier for Howard University students to pay off their student loans.
The 46-year-old college dropout presented a $1 million check to the school during his Bad Boy Reunion Concert Tour stop in Washington, D.C. on Thursday.
Combs said the money was aimed at starting a scholarship fund for “anybody who can’t pay off their financial aid.”
Combs dropped out of Howard U. in the late 1980s to become a rap promoter.
On Dec. 28, 1991, nine youths were trampled to death and 29 injured during a celebrity basketball game he promoted at City College in New York.
“City College is something I deal with every day of my life,” he told the NY Times in 1998.
Howard University presented Combs with an honorary doctorate degree in 2014.
?I kinda like diddy…he loves the kids

Just a little fat??
Yes he did……..mad students have back balances, however, this does not help the students who could not register for classes this fall due to balances from the spring 2016 semester. This will only benefit the upcoming semester and forward. But let’s hope the “A” building do what their suppose to do with the money….now that ______________, is no longer head of the Financial Aid Department….but good for Diddy. Hopefully, HU20 freshman Nick Cannon looks out! HU, Bison Pride ?
I don’t fit the description ? so, what does that make me? I consider myself a rose ?
Will it be applied to alumni debt as well? ?
He also has a Harlem charter school that he’s supporting. Good guy.

It is ?

I wonder how many Bad Boy artists are or were owed royalties. Folks love to be generous on one account and not pay their artists and/or expenses in the next breath.
Great job giving back,the shade from something so positive?
They either ah ghost, ah V&V Rose, or a Stranger that I don’t reply back too. ?
I just like who I like ?
#teampettysince4eva
Thank you for this game. * twirls the hell off cussing *
Nice.
We reported on and red about this way earlier. ??
I remember when you first talked to me ? I asked yo petty ass something & you answered me & was like I nomeraly Dont talk to stsngers but ….???

I don’t. lmao
Sometimes I be feeling bad for ignoring folks but #blameahhamster ?

Probably all of them. I’m sure half his tour acts went on the road to get some kind of paycheck finally. But even though he’s a POS when it comes to paying his artists, I can’t knock his generosity in this case. Kind of like how I can sweet and petty at the same time.??
Nobody’s perfect ?
Trick or treat
??
Did anyone read about or see the trump surrogate being interviewed on MSNBC yesterday?
?She has resigned…
I won’t give her words any power. Gotta look it up if you want.
*adds this to our list*
Not perfect ?
You say that because he don’t owe you
HE bet be glad he doesn’t owe ah Rose!???
Could you imagine yo? ????
Well at least he take care of his kids and the community. Them ninja should have bought that cheesecake
No lol
I just don’t wanna waste any valuable Blawg time ?
As you said, you won’t knock it. I don’t recall knocking it. I’m certain that for many years, he wasn’t paying his artists. Now, he wants to donate $1 million to HU like people haven’t literally committed crimes and spent years in jail in attempts to make ends meet because they had careers and never saw the fruits of their labor.
The court ordered him to take care of his kids. That’s what a man is supposed to do. That’s like giving someone credit for washing their ass and brushing their teeth.
We would have payment by end of day
Well most of his colleagues dont take care of their kids( stevie j, 50 cent, future, and etc) so I give him credit for doing what should be natural but these other bums have to be tortured into doing. But you right.
You got a point you really do but the man did something positive so am focusing on that ..I’ll drag his ass another day ?
Girl I be hardt up being mines ..I’ll be be harassing him & Cassie
50 pays child support for Marquise. That’s “taking care of” in a lot of misguided people’s eyes. 50 is involved in Sire’s life because he is young. I’m sure once Sire is of the age to form opinions, 50 will change. You could refer to my conception with my mother as an “arrangement” and think I would want anything to do with you.
Kim went in for CS and once she received her 5-figure monthly sum, Misa went in for an increase. I presume Sarah, the only BM who appears to be about something, receives a matching monthly sum.
As for Stevie, he spent that money with the dope man. No respect there. I haven’t seen Future being taken to court for non-payment of CS but for increases and Ciara wanting full custody of baby Future. That’s not the same.
Yes! ???
50 bullies that boy. Counting down just foul. Future is mad that ciara aint at his beck and call like his other babymamas. I never knew diddy was on child support, just thought he did it on his own since i never heard anything about he going to court about it. Stevie is as you said.
Dead.
& Kim ….
The idiot who said racism didn’t exist until Obama got in office? She’s nuts. Good riddance.
I am convinced she has never known a blacl person.
Im spesha.
For the second time this week President Obama suggested today that trump learn something about black history:
As per The Hill @msn:
President Obama is encouraging Donald Trump to visit Washington’s new National Museum of African American History and Culture, saying it could benefit the GOP presidential nominee.
Obama said in an interview that aired Friday on ABC’s “Good Morning America” his suggestion was in response to Trump claiming that that African-American community is in worse shape than “ever” before.
“I think that even most 8-year-olds will tell you that whole slavery thing wasn’t very good for black people, Jim Crow wasn’t very good for black people,” Obama said. “What we have to do is use our history to propel us to make even more progress in the future.”
I am going to miss President Obama!
Puffy didn’t do his artists no dirtier than anyone else. And unless they were underage…. artists need to be responsible for their own contracts.Shyt Barry Gordy built a whole empire in Detroit while robbing underage folks. Puffy has never been sued has he? He raped perfectly consenting adults legally financially.
Glad he gave.
Barry Gordy getting awards from the President. As of yesterday. Why his thief ass ain’t villified? He started robbing Michael Jackson at 6 yo.
http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSKCN11S26Y
I don’t fuc with barry or smokey behind how they did the Isleys.
The Jackson 5 signed with Motown when Michael was 11.
Have fun at the Bad Boy concert tonight @NakeyaJ.
Sure not
Sandra can never let someone be great without tearing them down at the same time.
That’s exactly what happened to your favorite urban blogs. They got greedy. If you notice, most of the urban blogs are gone. Why? Because they sold out to the highest bidder who promised them a big bonus upfront and monthly paychecks to update their own blogs. They took that upfront money and went on shopping sprees, traveling, etc. When the checks stopped coming in, they stopped updating their blogs. Then they took their blogs and archives offline because they no longer owned the domain names. That’s what happened to Necolebitchie, Concrete Loop, Crunktastical, etc. And that’s why Necole can’t bring necolebitchie back.
They were grown men at the time? If not no bueno
How did I tear him down?
Wow blogging is a tuff messy business I see.
The same company hit me up to buy my blog. I didn’t even wait for the sales pitch. I said “no” without hesitation.
Gee. Ok
I was getting ready to ask you why didn’t you take the bait? Good thing you didn’t, such a shame that the other ladies did.
They got Puffy’d.
VVR??
Really disturbing
Ignorant
Good on Puffy for this. Our HBCUs need support.
Tom Joyner and Huggyvwas saying how good a show it was this morning.
What am I then ???
That’s awesome. My admiration just ticked up one notch…to 1. But that is great & hopefully others will do the same.
Right is right and wrong is wrong. Don’t go around as if you were this savior for all of these artists who would have been done wrong by the white man when you were doing the same thing.
Puff goes around like a savior ??
Barry and smokey.
Ohhh
Nucy,i see all yall WIDE BODY LEXUSES parked up in here….(sashays around BLOG common area)chyle,im between 112-115 on a heavy coat day….im a lil sporty BEAMER????
???? it must be nice ..I use to he a corvette before my baby ..?
????Whayle dayum….i know you aint a DESOTO 88 either????
Chyle,my life long dream was to/is to/trying to be THICKUMS….my mama nem was never in my corner????my nick name use to be SNAKE HIPS??muhphuggin haters????
???
Glad you didn’t sell out, Sandra. I have been reading your blog since 2007.
Yep
Ew!
Dammit lol!
Heavy coat day ???
No disrespect, but why is this such a big deal?? Aint “Puff Daddy” worth a gazillion dollars?
Exactly. This shyt don’t impress me. Nigga u rich, what’s a mill? and don’t u still owe 112 and Day 26?? like bye! Give THEM a million dollats
That’s bullshyt. Let’s see if your job not pay you Friday and refer to some old ass paperwork you signed when you first started. Right is right. These companies need to stop being greedy and give people fair and honest contracts.
Hold on, wait. 50 cent’s kids are taken care of per 50 cent. As are Future’s per future AND his BMs. Where Are you getting this information
If he owes his artists $20 million, that’s a drop in the bucket, considering his net worth. I will never respect people having hundreds of millions of dollars but being so damn greedy that they don’t take good care of the people who afforded them their wealth.
Nothing special about that- at all. A million dollars is the most diminutive amount of money. Truly paltry. To give you some perspective…Diddy received a BONUS check of 40 million dollars for his executive production credits in 1997. That’s almost twenty years ago. If I have 500 dollars and I give you a dollar do I now deserve praise? He’s valued at 500 mill. A million dollars is a dollar to him. He supports Trump too. F. P. DIDDY.
Money does talk, dude dropped out of college, became a self made millionaire and now the same college honor him with a doctorate degree! Damn!
Rich people get so much mileage out of very little.
FYI: The Bad Boy Reunion concert last night was EPIC!
He’s 46 and dressed like that? ok.
But good for him being charitable.
V AND V!
??
?New question tah add to Welcome a Packet!
Watt kinda Rose dew yew aspire tew bee??? ???
Got mines from UNCF and it was renewable!! ???
Big ups to Diddy for making a difference. I wish I had millions to donate; instead, I donate my time.
I would be thankful regardless he probably started with 1 million to get other celebrities to donate
Beautiful.
This is being on your “Grown Man”.
