Sean Combs a.k.a. Diddy is ready to hang up the mic following the release of his forthcoming album titled “No Way Out 2.”
The 46-year old Bad Boy Records boss opened up to Cigar Aficionado about his plans for a final world tour, before focusing on his movie career.
“I’m going to put out my last album and devote 100 percent of my time to doing films … I want to stop at a great place,” he told the publication. “And a final album is a great place to stop. I want to take a victory lap, to do a world tour and really enjoy it once last time.”
By releasing one more album before bowing out, the rapper turned actor hopes to solidify his legacy.
“When I’m gone, only the songs will survive. I know I’m making music that will live on. I don’t go into the studio just to be hot or to hear myself on the radio,” Diddy added. “Michael Jackson, Tupac, Biggie – part of them lives on in their music, even though they’re not here anymore. That’s really deep, man. The only thing like that is religion.”
As his music career winds down, Diddy is also reaching out to help young artists. Teaming up with Pharrell Williams, the business mogul and music producer acted as an advisor on season 10 of The Voice.
