This honorary award was first introduced as a part of the MTV Europe Music Awards lineup, before making its way to the VMAs. It’s meant to celebrate “an artist or band whose unparalleled career and continued influence have achieved a unique level of global success in music and beyond”, and it was previously given to Red Hot Chili Peppers and Foo Fighters.

There’s no better time than now to award Diddy with this accolade because he’s currently getting ready to share a new album with the world. The Love Album: Off the Grid will mark his first solo LP since 2006, and it will hit the shelves on September 15.

Diddy is expected to perform a medley of his biggest hits at the MTV VMAs on September 12, joining previously announced performers Doja Cat, Anitta, Lil Wayne, Kelsea Ballerini, Tomorrow X Together, Demi Lovato, Karol G, Måneskin, Stray Kids, and Shakira. He’s also in the running for four awards with songs “Creepin” (Remix) ft. Metro Boomin, The Weeknd, and 21 Savage and “Gotta Move On” ft.  Bryson Tiller, Ashanti, and Yung Miami.

The most recent edition of Rolling Stone’s Musicians On Musicians saw DJ Khaled and Combs interview each other and discuss their careers and views on the music industry. At one point, Diddy was asked what does he “look for” when he is signing a new artist.

“To be honest, I’ve been in semi-retirement,” shared Diddy. “If you don’t see my name on all the Top 10 records, that means I’m not making music.”

According to Diddy, he is wondering whether there is a role for him in music at the moment. “I’m contemplating, Is there a role for me in music now?” I just know that for me, I would only be able to sign legends. To be honest, my decisions will be made through God. I’m at another frequency and level of music.”

Sean Combs’ most recent solo studio effort was 2006’s Press Play. After that, he worked on several collaboration albums while also releasing a handful of singles.

Back in 2015, Combs announced that he is working on his new studio album, titled No Way Out 2, which was supposed to serve as a sequel to his debut record from 1997. He also said that this would be his last album before retiring from music.

In 2015, Diddy presented “Finna Get Loose,” featuring Pharrell Williams, which was the first single from the album. There were no new details about the release since then, and the status of the record remains unclear.
