It’s the end of an era. Diddy shockingly
made the announcement that he has
decided to retire from making music. And
after years of cranking out hit after hit,
along with some signature dance moves,
he says that he’s trading it all in to focus on
a career in acting. The Bad Boy Records mogul covered the
June of issue ofCigar Aficionado
Magazineto discuss his retirement and
newest venture. “I’m going to put out my
last album and devote 100 percent of my
time to doing films … I want to stop at a
great place.”
His forthcoming and final album,No Way
Out 2, intends to be the final chapter of his
legacy in the music industry. “When I’m
gone, only the songs will survive. I know I’m
making music that will live on. I don’t go
into the studio just to be hot or to hear
myself on the radio,” Diddy told the
magazine. “Michael Jackson, Tupac, Biggie
– part of them lives on in their music, even
though they’re not here anymore. That’s
really deep, man. The only thing like that is
religion.”
Diddy is ready to kick off his Bad Boy
Family Reunion Tour on May 20, with an
additional date honoring Biggie’s birthday
at the Barclays Center. But the
entrepreneur also revealed that he plans
to travel the world one last time in light of
his retirement. “I want to take a victory lap,
to do a world tour and really enjoy it one
last time,” he said.
And after that, it’s a wrap. While Diddy is
known for having great authority in the
music world, discovering some of the
biggest talents including Notorious B.I.G.,
Lil Kim, and Mary J. Blige, and building a
brand of his own, racking up a number of
awards and accolades, he’s not really a vet
in the film industry. In fact, unlike his music
career, his history with acting doesn’t reach
that far. Over the course of ten years, he’s
probably been featured in less than ten
roles, only two of which were semi-major
inA Raisin in the Sun, and Get Him to the
Greek. Nevertheless, it looks like Diddy will
be stacking his acting resume soon enough
