Diddy Covers L’Uomo Vogue’s Music Issue

Sean “Diddy” Combs poses for the October cover of L’Uomo Vogue’s music issue with his bow-tie-precious twin daughters, D’Lila Star and Jessie James (they turn 2 in December).

In the cover story, Diddy talks enthusiastically about the upcoming presidential election, the importance of voting, his many successful businesses and the evolution of inspiration in creating music.

Diddy said, “The concept of ‘Black on Black’ in this story represents a level of strength, a level of beauty, a level of sexy and chic that I really want to portray. It’s the future. And it’s not just a race thing; it’s almost a redefinition of the color. Think about how ignorant people actually make the color black represent something negative. Black is so beautiful, I see it in everything I am, as a person, as a man, as a fashion professional. Black is beautiful.”
