P Diddy roasted for saying waking up with '15 roaches' on face inspired him

Diddy shared an Instagram video where he said that one day when he woke up with 15 cockroaches on his face, he decided that he wanted t be big in life

Weeks after getting labeled as gay by social media users, P Diddy again became the butt of jokes after he revealed how he overcame the adversities of life in his latest Instagram video. The multi-platinum rapper and record producer shared a childhood story of how one day as a kid he woke up to 15 roaches on his face, adding that he then decided he did not want that life.

While relishing a mango with a stunning view in the background, the legendary hip-hop entrepreneur in his Instagram video revealed how two things made him hustle in life — mangoes and roaches. The 51-year-old artist got massively trolled for the message he conveyed in the video but it was the caption that could not keep the internet calm. In his illustrative career, Diddy has won three Grammy Awards and two MTV Video Music Awards. His debut album ‘No Way Out’ has been certified platinum seven times.

Did P Diddy really struggle his way up?

In the video, the award-winning musician can be seen chilling out in front of an infinity pool that sits in front of a gorgeous view of the ocean. The rapper decided to drop some inspiration for his fans, revealing how he struggled his way up. In the video, he states, “You could do it. You could be whoever you want. You could be eating mango too, with the ocean as your backdrop. I ain’t special. I just want it. I want it bad, you feel me?” The hip-hop mogul, who currently has a net worth of close to $900M, added, “I won’t allow myself to not have mango. I hustle hard, Nah, baby.” At the end of the video, he jumps into the pool to beat the heat.

He captioned the inspiring video as, “One day when I was growing up, I woke up and there was 15 roaches on my face. At that moment I said hell no, I refuse to live like this. Work hard, believe in your crazy dreams…AND NEVER SETTLE!” It was this caption that led to a meme-fest on Twitter as many claimed that he never really started from the bottom.  For the unversed, Diddy, whose real name is Sean Love Combs, is one of the most successful hip-hop entrepreneurs in the game. Apart from music, he rakes in an impressive amount of moolah from his Circo vodka brand, DeLeón tequila and Aquahydrate alkaline water.  
   

‘This is the highest I ever seen Diddy’

Social media users had a field day as they mercilessly trolled Diddy over his latest Instagram video. One user posted, “Jay Z’s story about losing 92 bricks is wayyyyyy more believable than Diddy’s story about 15 got damn roaches crawling across his face.” Another stated, “I been in the trenches like trenches and never seen 15 roaches at once diddy dragged it.” One added, “How did diddy even let 15 roaches get on his face.. you mean to tell me he ain’t feel the first 2?”
 
One individual claimed, “Diddy roach story got too many flaws” whereas, another chimed in and shared, “This is the highest I ever seen Diddy.” The next one posted, “Diddy acts like drake and another started from the bottom nonsense rapper aka Rick Ross.” While another stated, “Diddy lying.... I had roaches and never do they sit still on your face, roaches got places to be and s**t to do.” One user concluded while trolling the rapper saying, “I’m not even mad at Diddy for saying him having 15 roaches crawling on his led to his success. I miss those kind of lies in Hip Hop. I haven’t heard a lie that crazy since Rick Ross “she had her legs wrapped around my waist.” One said, "So did P diddy count the roaches or?? Either way that story crazy."
