I love Diddy...always have and always will. There's nothing sexier than a confident man and he dispays it very well. However, confidence magnified is often confused for arrogance which is the problem that Diddy faces today. I'm glad a Black man is able to project high self-esteem whether it be either or...just as I'm glad we finally have our first Black president. Diddy's "I am King" ads personify a first step towards our men being seen in a positive light and I love him for it even if some don't. That’s a wise comparison Mr. Allen.

I've always thought of myself as a King, but I couldnt afford to promote it as Diddy can so RIGHT ON !

honestly, dude is doing what others arent doing – its either going to be Diddy the trendsetter or Plaxico Burress the johnny boy sambo and the AWFUL security who allowed him to walk in LQ (already a cursed spot after somebody from Ja Rule’s clique was killed outside the spot) but probably didnt let regular joes in there.
