Is there anything Diddy can’t do?
Hip-hop producer and artist-turned-mogul extraordinaire P. Diddy is showing off his exceptional modeling skills as he covers Los Angeles Confidential magazine.
The corresponding spread showcases the icon as he displays his many faces in a black and white photo spread while giving the magazine a glimpse into his 360 degree life as a mogul, mentor and family man with the corresponding interview.
Check out photos and a few excerpts from the interview below.
On being a mogul:
“For me,” he says, “the most powerful art form ever created was music, and that’s still my greatest love, but I’ve always viewed myself as an entrepreneur more than just a music person. Being more than ‘just a’ frees me up to amplify my passions and opportunities.”
On being a mentor:
“Last year in Cannes, I decided to walk from the hotel to try to get me a suit jacket to wear to the Brad Pitt premiere. I thought I could just walk the two blocks, y’know? By the time I got to the store there were maybe 10,000 people behind me. You can just see the intensity of it. I was like, Wow! They know me all the way out here in the South of France!”
On misconceptions about his life:
‘I like nice things, but life’s pretty normal around here. People think. ”Oh, Diddy’s probably running around his mansion spooning caviar into his mouth,”’ he says with a laugh. ‘I don’t even like caviar.’
On his relationships with the mothers of his children:
‘A lot of people say yes to me, I admit that. But I’m blessed by how much the mothers of my children love to tell me the truth. They don’t let me get away with anything! I don’t make apologies for what I have. Especially in these economic times, it’s an achievement to have financial success. If part of that is to spoil your kids, to give them things, it’s okay, as long as they appreciate what they have.’
