Puff Daddy Says He’s Not Changing His Name to Brother Love

– Sean “Puffy” Combs is not changing his name to Brother Love after all. Combs posted to Instagram saying that he was only joking about the possible name change. The proclamation comes two days after Combs posted to Twitter saying, “I decided to change my name again! My new name is LOVE aka Brother Love.”

The initial post had generated a lot of attention, and Bruce Prichard — who played Brother Love in WWE — responded by posting:

Yo. Find a new gimmick. I invented and perfected Brother Love. I am the original and you are not. Remember North Carolina.

You can see Combs’ post to Instagram below, where he says, “Due to overwhelming response from the media out there, and just due to there not wanting there to be any confusion, I was only joking, okay? I didn’t change my name. It’s just part of one of my alter egos. One of my alter egos is love. But to set the record straight, because I have a lot of press to do the next couple of weeks, you can address me by any of my older names. But if you still want to call me love, you can call me love.”

I see you can't play with the internet ???????????????????????????????????? be calm. Spread LOVE.
