One of the main reasons why Joe Rogan’s podcast is extremely successful is that he doesn’t mince words. Instead, Joe has become so rich that his fans want to know how much his staff gets paid because he is willing to talk to Post Malone about weight and interview JD Vance about politics.
These days, Sean “Diddy” Combs is one of the most talked-about people in the world. After all, it seems like everyone has talked about the disturbing allegations Diddy is facing, who his famous friends are, what it was like to work for him, and about his relationship with his kids. Unsurprisingly, Joe Rogan has also talked about Diddy, including the time he and Brendan Schaub mercilessly mocked the controversial music power broker.
Joe Rogan And Brendan Schaub Mercilessly Mocked Diddy For Changing His Nickname
Before the allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs forever tarnished his name and legacy, he remained successful for many years. There were many ways that Diddy stayed on top, including producing and releasing music that millions of fans loved.
Another way that Diddy stayed successful for so long was that he managed to stay in the headlines for far longer than most celebrities. However, some of Diddy’s attention-grabbing moves definitely weren’t embraced by the masses.
One of Diddy’s biggest flops came after one of the times he tried to change his nickname. Unfortunately for the famous rapper, that nickname change that completely flopped also resulted in Diddy being mocked by Joe Rogan and Brendan Schaub.
In 2017, Diddy announced that he was going to start going by “Love” or “Brother Love.” Diddy was so committed to that nickname at the time that he legally changed his middle name to Love in 2021.
A Timeline of Diddy’s Nicknames, According to Us Weekly | |

Puffy | 1995 |
Puff Daddy | 1996 |
P. Diddy | 2001 |
Diddy | 2005 |
Love | 2017 |
Diddy | 2022 |
Throughout Diddy’s music career, millions of people rolled with the punches as he repeatedly adopted new nicknames. However, when Diddy told the world to call him Love, there were many fans and observers who balked at that.

Why Didn’t Diddy Settle The Cassie Ventura Lawsuit Privately?
The shocking reason why Sean “Diddy” Combs didn’t settle Cassie’s lawsuit that ruined his life and career.
During a 2017 episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Joe Rogan and Brendan Schaub mocked Diddy calling himself Love or Brother Love. That part of the episode can be listened to thanks to a YouTube upload of the segment.
After Diddy was arrested,
The Daily Mail
published an article about the way that some observers were reacting in September 2024. Several of the social media responses chronicled in that article may have referenced Diddy’s former nickname. For example, one observer wrote, “He will fit in just fine in prison he’s gonna love it there,” on social media.
As the conversation began, Joe spoke about how Diddy said at the time that he would no longer answer to any of his previous nicknames. As Joe explained, Diddy explained that he no longer felt like the same person so he wouldn’t answer to his past nicknames. Then, Joe mockingly remarked that he felt the same way, but he was stuck.
I’m stuck with my same f****** name. I’d like to change my name for the same reason.
When Joe expressed that he would also like to change his name, Brendan Schaub that he felt the same way.
In 2024, there has been chatter among some of Joe Rogan’s fans that he and Brendan Schaub are no longer friends. For example, there is a post on
the r/JoeRogan subreddi
t
questioning if they had a falling out since Brendan hadn’t performed at Joe’s comedy club.
The two friends then discussed what he should change his name to while laughing. Ultimately, Brendan stated that he wanted his alias to sound cool like Diddy’s before jokingly saying what his new nickname was.
“I need something cool. Like, Be Smooth. Yeah. Be Smooth.”
In response, Joe retorted that Brendan should start going by “Be Laughing” instead. At that suggestion, both of them began laughing uproariously as Joe pretended to be at a comedy club as he introduced Brendan as “Be Laughing.”

Why Joe Rogan Was Disappointed He Didn’t Get To Fight A Hollywood Legend
Joe Rogan revealed that he tried really hard to make a fight against a legitimate Hollywood legend happen but failed.
As the conversation continued, Joe found out that a WWE Hall of Famer named Mick Foley had performed under the name Brother Love. That inspired Joe to claim that he wanted to be known as Superfly, like another WWE Hall of Famer, Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka.
Joe then openly mocked Diddy as he parroted the rapper’s statement about no longer answering to any other names. However, Joe mockingly stated that he would also answer to all of Diddy’s previous nicknames that the rapper was distancing himself from at the time.
“I’m gonna call myself the Superfly. I’m gonna call myself Superfly with Jimmy Superfly Snuka. That’s my new name, bro. Superfly. That’s it. None of my previous monikers. Sean Combs, I won’t respond. I’ll respond to all the ones that Puffy won’t respond to and Superfly. You call me Puffy, P. Diddy.”
After mocking Diddy, Joe and Brendan switched to talking about his Love nickname. For example, Brendan stated his opinion that Diddy needed the kind of friends that would tell him he was messing up. “That’s when you know you just don’t have the right people around you. You can just change your name and won’t answer anything else.”
For his part, Joe stated that he thought the whole situation was funny and then expressed his theory about why Diddy changed his nickname to Love.
That is hilarious. Do you think he was just high as f***?
Joe and Brendan continued to joke about the name change for several more minutes. Throughout that conversation, Joe continued to argue that Diddy was under the influence when he decided to call himself Love.
In April 2023, Jamie Foxx was hospitalized and disappeared from the public eye for a while. Even after Jamie resurfaced, many observers still don’t know what caused his absence. As a result, when Jamie joked that Diddy poisoned him, some people believed him. However, TMZ reported in October 2024 that Jamie’s comment about Diddy was only a joke that shouldn’t be taken seriously.

According to an article from The Daily Mail about his comments, Joe stated that he still believed it could be possible that Diddy poisoned Jamie.
As Joe went on to say, he was going to wait to see the comedy special Jamie was filming to gauge if he was joking about Diddy.
“We won’t know until we see the actual Jamie Foxx Netflix special.”
According to The Daily Mail’s report, insiders close to Diddy denied that he had anything to do with Jamie’s health scare.
