The rapper and business mogul delivered a career-spanning performance of hits with appearances from Yung Miami, Keyshia Cole, and his son
Mary J. Blige presented the mogul with the award. “This man has always been an icon,” she told the audience. “Puff’s impact on pop culture is immeasurable. His iconic music videos redefined the form. his global influence is forever felt across the entire music industry.”
Diddy opened his performance with his unreleased collaboration with The Weeknd, where he raps: “All I am is a man with ambition to be the best/When I failed, it just gave me the vision to see the rest/ Wasn’t even ready when God gave me the test/So I pray you find love in the pieces of me that’s left.” From there, he transitioned into “I’ll Be Missing You,” his Faith Evans-assisted tribute to the Notorious B.I.G.
Slipping into party mode, Diddy dove into “All About the Benjamins,” instructing the audience to get onto their feet. “Bad Boy for Life” was up next with an appearance from his son, followed by “I Need a Girl .” City Girls’ Yung Miami popped in for a cameo before Keyshia Cole shut the stage down with “Last Night.” And Diddy still had more music up his sleeve — he couldn’t wrap this performance without “Mo Money Mo Problems.
“This is a dream come true for me,” Diddy told the audience during his acceptance speech. “I grew up watching MTV like, ‘Man I wish one day I could be up there.’ You know, I started out as a paperboy. I didn’t know I was gonna be here, started as a paperboy at 12 and then I was gonna be an NFL football player for the Pittsburgh Steelers. My leg got broke the last year and I got depressed. I would be in the clubs, dancing in New York City, doing my Diddy bop.
