Tweet“I WANT TO WORK FOR DIDDY” - Oh my…
Right off the bat I have to say I’ve only seen the previews for the upcoming series, but Oh my… Why in the world would anyone ever want to go through this sort public test to work for Diddy? For those of us not in the know - his name transformations are worthy of a show of their own - Puff Diddy - Sean P Diddy Combs - P Diddy - and now just Diddy.
The show that first aired on Monday (Aug 4), featured 13 “hungry” applicants competing for the “job of a lifetime.” VH1 says the contestants will “be challenged emotionally, physically and mentally to earn the privilege of doing Diddy’s bidding, and just one lucky person will get the chance to call him - My Boss.”
Surely P Diddy has the connections to help anyone get ahead but if you have to compete in challenges that include “The Art of Multitasking” to “No Bitchassness Allowed,” all while being filmed… I might think again.
“I want to work for Diddy airs” on VH1 on Monday nights at 9:00 p.m.
