When Diddy accepted his Lifetime Achievement Award—presented by Babyface and Kanye West—at the 2022 BET Awards this past Sunday, his animated speech was full of gratitude and specific thank-yous to those who’ve influenced his personal and professional life.
One of those people was Bobby Brown, much to the surprise of some. Diddy stated, “I gotta thank the King, Bobby Brown […] He was the first chocolate boy wonder. He gave me a lot of confidence. Sometimes you don’t know the people you touch and Bobby, you touched me and I love you.”
Though at the moment, the endearing acknowledgment was recognized as such, Pete Rock took high offense to Diddy calling Brown, “the first chocolate boy wonder.”
The rapper-producer took to Instagram with his message to the Bad Boy mogul.
