Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has had some thoughts on being honored with the Global Icon Award at the recent MTV Video Music Awards.
The I’ll Be Missing You rapper spoke to Extra TV on Monday about how it felt to be recognized with the award earlier this month.
“I’m not going to lie, it’s like living the dream,” the 53-year-old star told the outlet. “You have to understand, just being from Harlem, just being a kid growing up watching MTV… it’s like one of the greatest honors I could ever imagine.”
The hip-hop mogul also discussed the release of The Love Album in the interview: Off the Grid, which is his first solo album since 2006’s Press Play.
“It’s something that kind of hits you like boom. It’s time. It is time to put the cape back on,” Diddy said, explaining the timing of the album. “Time to spread the love. Time to raise the frequency.”
Diddy also collaborated with Mary J. Blige, Babyface, 21 Savage, French Montana and Justin Bieber.
Of the Sorry singer, the rapper added: “A lot of people see Justin as a pop artist, but I know Justin from him singing R&B to me when he was just coming up in the game.
The album The Love: Off the Grid” album was released on September 15th.
