Not sure this is what Diddy was hoping to motivate people to do, but nobody can control Twitter!
We all know Diddy lives a luxurious lifestyle, and no doubt, many people consider him #goals. He worked his way to the top, rolls with A-listers, and has money to burn. But according to the famed producer, anybody could have what he has — if they’ve got the work ethic.
Unfortunately fans found his way of communicating that inspiring message a bit… questionable, to say the least.

The rapper frequently posts motivational speeches to his Instagram, but in this particular video, he stood in front of an infinity pool wearing goggles and a bathing suit, eating fruit. He coached the viewer:
“You can do it. You can be whoever you want. You can be eating mango too, with the ocean as your backyard. I ain’t special. I just want it, I want it bad, you feel me? I will not allow myself to not have mango. I hustle hard, you know what I mean?”
Okay, fair enough. And a pretty standard pep talk thus far. But where things went somewhat off the rails was his caption. The 51-year-old wrote:
“One day when I was growing up, I woke up and there was 15 roaches on my face. At that moment I said hell no, I refuse to live like this. Work hard, believe in your crazy dreams… AND NEVER SETTLE!”

15 roaches?!? YIKES!
We guess an experience like that could change the trajectory of anybody’s life. But unsurprisingly, Twitter latched on to the outrageous story, and soon the topic was trending as people processed the tale. Responses included:
“Why Diddy had all them roaches on his face??
”
“I would have kept that struggle in the archives. Not 15 roaches Diddy”
“I didn’t know Diddy was on Fear Factor before, 15 roaches huh”
“This ain’t regular roach behavior this sound like a planned attack”
”Some users were puzzled by the specificity of the exact number of bugs:
“Diddy ain’t wake up UNTIL the 15th roach?”
“Diddy..how did you know it was 15 roaches on your face?”
“and how’d diddy know it was 15..did he count?”

But mostly, people questioned the entire story:
“Diddy gotta cut it out. He never had 15 roaches on his face.
“Diddy lying…. I had roaches and never do they sit still on your face, roaches got places to be and shit to do”
“I lived in the projects. Roaches sat at the kitchen table and ate dinner with us. They would watch TV–no cable back then which pissed those roaches off. But never, absolutely never, did I wake up with roaches on my face. Diddy is trippin'”
We can’t speak to the truth of Diddy’s ridiculous roach story, obviously. And while we DO appreciate the intention behind the message, we have to admit — the responses are hysterical!
