Big reveal: The 51-year-old mogul took to Twitter on Monday morning to show off his brand new driver’s license from Florida as his full name read: ‘Sean Love Combs’
Diddy – who also changed his Twitter name to Love – didn’t seem to mind his private details being on the internet for billions to see as his driver’s license number and address were not blurred out in the photo post.
He also share a photo of himself writing in a notebook with the progression of his aliases which went Puffy, Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Diddy, and lastly Love.
The Bad Boy Records founder captioned the image to his 15.6million followers: ‘Look what I just got in the mail today… [black heart, shooting star, stars, and lightning bolt emojis] IT’S OFFICIAL!!! WELCOME TO THE LOVE ERA.’

Diddy first declared that he was going to change his name to Brother Love in November 2017 but has since opted to drop the first name for his born one Sean.
‘I decided to change my name again!’ he told fans in a Twitter post at the time.
‘My new name is LOVE aka Brother Love.’ He hashtagged his excited post: ‘Takedat’.
The I’ll Be Missing You hitmaker has had more name changes than Prince as he was born Sean John Combs in November 1969.
New moniker: Diddy first declared that he was going to change his name to Brother Love in a Twitter post in November 2017 but has since opted to drop the first name for his born one Sean
In 1997 he seemingly grew bored of being plain old Sean – opting instead for the name by which the then record producer first found fame – Puff Daddy.
A year later he went back to being Sean John, but this restraint didn’t last long.
In 1999 Sean returned to his youthful nickname – Puffy, inspired by his childhood habit of ‘huffing and puffing’ when angry.
The name was a hit – and he even scored himself a superstar girlfriend with a couple of names of her own – JLo, aka Jennifer Lopez or Jenny From The Block.
Never settling: The I’ll Be Missing You hitmaker (seen in May 2018) has had more name changes than Prince as he was born Sean John Combs in November 1969
But just like the famous girlfriend, the name didn’t stick, and in 2001 he became P Diddy.
And finally, or so we thought, in 2005 he ditched the P for the more simple Diddy (apart from the week in 2011 when he went by Swag).
Then finally he finally settled on Brother Love in 2017.
The founder of Ciroc vodka went on to file to officially change his middle name to Sean Love Combs, dropping the John according to The Blast in October 2019.
