Diddy, a football player?
Yes!
In fact, it turns out Sean Combs was hoping to become a professional football when he was younger, not a rap mogul. Unfortunately, a broken leg while he was in school ruined his chances of going pro.
During a recent radio interview in the UK, Diddy reveals:
“I never had any aspirations to become a recording artist, producer, music mogul or anything like that. I loved American football. So throughout grade school and high school I was pursuing dreams to become a professional American football player.
My last year of high school is when I broke my leg, right before my most important season when the scouts come to see you.”
But his love for football hasn’t disappeared. He even hinted at owning a team.
Diddy has stated:
“You know there aren’t any black owners and I plan on being the first black owner of an NFL football team. I wanna put it out there. Not minority owners, majority owners!”
He’s got the money to buy a team. Let’s see if he does it though.
