Presenting our September cover star: @Diddy! Long before “influencer” entered our lexicon, Sean Combs—a.k.a. Puff Daddy, a.k.a. P. Diddy—took his hip-hop iconography to scale. Now, under his new name “Love,” he’s ready to define his next era. 🔗: vntyfr.com/2sMWZzN
For @Diddy, each name change signals a shift in ideology and strategy. The ‘Love’ era is about moving from an individual mindset, he tells @tressiemcphd: “God told me, ‘Your purpose is to play a part in saving the Black race.’” 🔗: vntyfr.com/2sMWZzN

@VanityFair @Diddy How to make yourself generic, and impossible to find on the internet…. call yourself “Love.” #Diddy
@VanityFair @Diddy 9/21 issue is ugly. Cluttered layout, amateurish photos. Content has been devolving into personality puff pieces. Disturbing decrease in quality been happening for a couple of years. I’ve subscribed since 1987. 1st time I’m mulling not resubscribing. What’s happened to VF?
