“unfollowdiddy because 112 isn’t just their name, it’s their account balance.”

Dear Sean,

Here’s the irony, the folks that are twittering unfollowdiddy comments for the most part never followed you on twitter. They never locked in homie. I’d imagine that many however at some point were fans of artists signed to Bad Boy. You can tell, because they know most of your artists and are concerned with their whereabouts. Do you even remember most of the artists that have been mentioned? The truth is they’ve stopped following you Sean in the non-twitter world a long, long time ago and the last 24 hours has provided them the opportunity to vent some of the frustrations with you Mr. Ciroc Obama (I hope that there is some bill that President Obama is preparing to sign to end the use of this ignorant nickname by the way).

Their tweets, while funny hold some truths. Sure, careers fade and artists come and go, but they seem to do so in record numbers over at Bad Boy. What happened to Total? Where is Stevie J? Why wasn’t Mario Winans more successful? Where the hell is Carl Thomas? Where’s that girl group Dream? And, damn that was wrong what went down with Shyne. Sean, this is real talk.

Are you locked in? Because we damn sure know your twitter profile is locked down. A celebrity with a private profile? Must be plotting behind the scenes. I’d imagine that you wish Charles Hamilton would get punched in the face again so that the tide could shift away from you in the land of twitter.

By the way, “they’re haters” isn’t going to work. Can’t shrug your shoulders and think that using the over used term is going to make it all right. Why are they haters because they think folks should unfollow you? Sean, stop being so narcissistic and thinking everything is about you. Be humble for a moment and consider it a wake up call. A realization that you once had very talented artists on your roster and when you became the number one client, we all found that a bit suspect. They’re not haters, just folks with strong opinions. Come back down to earth brother.

Sure you’re a brilliant businessman but so is a pimp. And we’ve watched you Sean, pimp artist after artist. Most recently we’ve watched you create a male and female group on reality television. Then we watched Danity Kane fall apart, and that was really no surprise. One because creating a group on television and expecting them to stay together is like having a successful relationship from a dating reality show. But also because Bad Boy is the alleged label where artist go if they want to disappear forever like they’re in the witness protection program.

Sean, instead of calling folk haters, you could have acknowledged them. Let them know you hear their concerns, and then tell us where Black Rob and others are. Not acknowledging them and trying to discount them by calling them haters is a real case of bitchassness. This unfollowdiddy thing was just showing you that folks would like to remove the situation from the situation (even if your numbers are rising). Wake up. Are you locked in to that?

 

I’d like to leave you with one of my favorite unfollowdiddy comments: “Unfollowdiddy because his fine print reads, bullets, bars, set-ups, disappearing, snitching and fading careers”

The UnFollowDiddy Movement

Sean "P. Diddy" Combs passed the one million followers mark on Twitter and recorded a message to his followers while on his jet, that he posted upon landing. It was a big moment for Diddy, who hit his followers with "WE DID IT!!!! A MILI A MILI A MILI!!! 1 MILLION FOLLOWERS!!! "

But almost immediately after passing one million followers, the unfollowdiddy movement started on twitter (we fully support... haha), quickly moving up the trending topics on twitter, above all the playoff and proposition 8 talk. How'd it start? @FoxxFiles claims responsibility for starting the movement.

Chris Foxx aka @FoxxFiles

"So tonight I started #unfollowdiddy which rose to #1 trending topics, Puff sent out subliminals to me and then blocked me for the 4th time," @FoxxFiles sent out in a Tweet during the early morning hours of May 27th.

"My name is Chris Foxx and yes I started #unfollowdiddy take that take that I see them subliminals," @FoxxFiles continued on Twitter.

@FoxxFiles "locked in" and went hard on pushing the unfollowdiddy movement and many folks joined in with reasons you should un-follow the music mogul. It quickly became hilarious to follow.

Here are a few:

"unfollowdiddy b/c they saw craig mack on Crenshaw selling pagers! *smh*"

"unfollowdiddy because he never shared his Proactiv with Craig Mack"

"unfollowdiddy because 112 isn't just their name its their account balance LMAO!!"

"unfollowdiddy Because somewhere Craig Mack is freestyling and broke, and that aint right."

"unfollowdiddy because Mario Winans COULD HAVE had a career."

"unfollowdiddy cuz hes in full promote mode for his album and everybody else is on the waiting list"

"unfollowdiddy Cause Ciroc Obama is ignorant"

"unfollowdiddy 'cause Carl Thomas wishes he never met him..at allllllll"

"unfollowdiddy for making Bad Boy an artist cemetery"

Diddy responded to the movement with this tweet, "Life is short! Use your time wisely! Only a fool waste time on negativity! While your trying to tear me down I'm already onto my next dream!"

Diddy followed it with, "I Love u even when you don’t love ME! I will always love you! I LOVE YOU! I believe in you! The devil is a liar! LETS GO!!!"

I had initially imagined Diddy sitting somewhere, shaking his head and mumbling "b*tcha**ness" as the unfollowdiddy trend rose on twitter. But Mr. Ciroc Obama (a name which I think President Obama should put an end to immediately) keeps the followers coming.

Because while it appeared that Diddy's numbers were going down for a moment, his numbers quickly reversed and were on a quick rise. So, perhaps the unfollowdiddy had the opposite result but reading the reasons why you should un-follow, were hilarious in itself (which could be considered a small victory).

“Ok enough of the games! I'm still here and aint goin nowhere! Go to sleep and when you wake up ill be at the finish line waitin for you! Lol” Diddy sent out in a tweet while comfortably above one million followers.

And in an effort to change the tide and prove the might of Diddy, he sent out the following tweet "#luvfollowingdiddy !!!! retweet and show them thev power of positivity! lets go!!! lol" Which as of writing this, has already found it's way on to the twitter trending list.

I wish more folks woke up and paid attention to the crazy stuff that Diddy does. It really appears that Bad Boy is the label artist go to disappear. Total? Craig Mack? Dream? Danity Kane? Carl Thomas? Oh, I can go on. Their number one client will always be Diddy. 

But, hey folks ... follow away.

Hey, Vh1, fool me once... "I Want to Sell my Soul to Diddy"

"The unemployment rate may be at an all time high, but at least one person is hiring... Diddy."

And to get a job, all you need to do is sell your soul.

Auditions are being held Nationwide for "I Want to Work for Diddy 2" (You know, that show that's kind of like the ghetto Apprentice). According to a press release issued, "A batch of new hopefuls will once again be put through the rigors of what it takes to win one of the toughest, but most rewarding jobs in the business.”

What Vh1 should have done since they are all about recyling reality television shows, is put together a "celebrity" version with all of their reality show rejects. Kind of like the formula for Charm School and I Love Money. Then they could have battled it out for a job for Diddy. Shoot, they could have just merged New York Goes to Work with this.

But I know Vh1, you never let us down. Good stuff. Another quality programming decision. Can't wait to see another group of people shuck and jive for ol' P. Diddy. I keep saying, "remember when music channels played videos" but I guess I should also be saying, "remember when Bad Boy made records."
