“I am a huge WWE fan. I love the intensity and the competition and I wanted fans to feel that energy in the soundtrack for WWE 2K17,” said Sean “Diddy” Combs. “While prepping for the upcoming Bad Boy 20-Year Family Reunion Tour, I’ve been thinking a lot about the past and the artists that inspired me.

Puff Daddy has also seen success across many entrepreneurial endeavors, including the hit MTV reality television series Making the Band, popular Sean John clothing line, CÎROC Ultra Premium vodka partnership, Revolt Media & TV platform and various acting roles.
