Four months after The Notorious B.I.G. was assassinated in 1997 (just a few months after the murder of Tupac Shakur), his discoverer and manager Sean Combs debuted as a rapper with the bestseller No Way Out (1997), credited to Puff Daddy & the Family, and its Biggie tribute I'll Be Missing You became the first hip-hop single to debut at the top of Billboard's charts.
Forever (1999), The Saga Continues (2001) and Press Play (2006) were also bestsellers despite the poor quality of the music.
Last Train to Paris (2010) was credited to Diddy Dirty Money, a trio with singers Kalenna Harper and Dawn Richard.
Combs was accused of serial sexual abuse.
