Diddy Tells CNN’s Wolf Blitzer He’s Building a Business School In Harlem

Posted by Juan

In his continued commitment to being a positive role model he hopes the institution will develop leaders of tomorrow

Diddy

CNN’s Wolf Blitzer recently chopped it up with Bad Boy founder, Sean “Diddy” Combs during while sitting in for Anderson Cooper who is on assignment in Haiti.  While discussing his lifestyle brand, Diddy admitted his profound influence on pop culture and and a burning desire to enact change through positive examples instead of the negative influences personified by his past indiscretions, namely his gun possession fiasco with Jennifer Lopez and Shyne over a decade ago.

Diddy explained he has designs on establishing a business school in Harlem to further his commitment to reinventing his “Bad Boy” persona to one of a role model for young aspiring businessmen and women and developing the leaders of tomorrow.

“It’s more than just about business, there’s more that I’m supposed to do, there’s more that I’m gonna do,” Diddy said. “I want to have an academy that’s known for building leaders. I feel that’s one of the things I can have an impact on.”

Via: Gossip on this

Diddy has been known to speak out loud on camera so naturally there are no concrete details however who could doubt Diddy?  I mean is he talking about a college, presumably no but is it a high school, an extra-curricular program?  Who knows at this point.  But he’s built an empire and although I hate using the word he’s truly one of the quintessential urban “moguls” of our time.  Who better to establish an institution designed to develop more such talent in a similar image than Diddy.  Salute.

    You knew that I would come sniffin’ around because I’m a b-school alum. LOL! I got this MBA, with a whole lot of D-E-B-T. (Well actually, I have a Master’s in Marketing, not an MBA, but keep that a secret)

    .

    Diddy will make an excellent “principal” of a business school. If he needs any help, I hope his people holla at my people. (My people means Highbrid Nation, in this case)
