Diddy said the post didn't originate from him and it is probably one of the Nigerian Photoshop designers that did that. Diddy encourage bloggers to always verify their claims.

The origin of the rumour can be traced to when Combs served as the executive producer for Burna Boy’s album “Twice As Tall,” which earned the award for “Global Album of the Year.”

After the win, Combs took to social media to congratulate Burna Boy, writing “You did it, King!!!” However, when Burna Boy failed to acknowledge Combs’ role in his win or show gratitude, the rapper was disappointed.
