It’s not the only time Diddy’s beginning as a dancer has been on his mind as of late. While accepting the Global Icon Award at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards, last month, he discussed how he created the iconic “Diddy Bop” move. “I got depressed and I would be in the clubs dancing in New York doing my ‘Diddy Bop,’ and then people would see me and they would cast me for videos,” he said. “That’s how I fell in love with the music industry. I saw the executives and I wanted to chase that dream. So I wanna thank every executive, every producer, every songwriter. I gotta thank the Bad Boy family ’cause without them I would not be up here. I love y’all from the bottom of my heart.”
