Rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly rubbed WWE wrestlers the wrong way backstage
While speaking to TMZ’s Inside The Ring podcast, former WWE star Chris Masters was asked whether he had ever heard any backstage stories about rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs, who made several promotional appearances for WWE over the years.
Here is what Masters had to say…
“I wasn’t there, from what I remember. I don’t know where I was, but I wasn’t there. But yeah, he just made a bad impression on the boys. Everybody thought he was kind of full of himself.
The main thing was—and again, I was telling you guys, part of me can kind of appreciate this because I am a sneakerhead. I love sneakers—but Diddy apparently had gotten some really exclusive, rare, I don’t know if they were Jordans or something, and he had his assistant carrying them around on this fluffy pillow, just trailing behind him the whole day.
Say what you want about wrestlers, but to them that just came off as a bit too much.”
Combs performed with Diddy-Dirty Money at Tribute to the Troops in 2010, introduced Machine Gun Kelly at WrestleMania 28 in 2012, performed a live musical set at WrestleMania 29 in 2013, and made a brief guest appearance on RAW in 2016 to promote WWE 2K17.
