Open Post: Hosted By Diddy’s Claim That His Hustle Was Inspired By Waking Up With 15 Cockroaches On His Face
Yesterday Diddy took to Instagram to inspire and motivate the masses. He posted a video of himself eating mango beside a pool beside an ocean. Diddy tells his 18 million followers that they too could be “eating mango with the ocean as your backdrop,” they just need to “hustle hard” and want it bad enough. But it’s the caption that piqued the Internet’s interest: Diddy writes that his drive to succeed was inspired by the time he woke up with 15 cockroaches on his face. This was Diddy’s Scarlett O’Hara “As God is my witness, I’ll never be hungry again!” moment. He writes, “At that moment I said hell no, I refuse to live like this. Work hard, believe in your crazy dreams…AND NEVER SETTLE!” Ya hear that? Never ever settle for less! If you’re waking up with 15 cockroaches on your face, hustle that bustle until one day you’re waking up with 150 cockroaches on your face. Believe in your crazy dreams!
Here’s Diddy’s mango video ft. the cockroach caption:
Obviously, Twitter took the cockroach story and mocked, memed, and called bullshit:

It is my belief that pre-fame Diddy probably woke up with 2 cockroaches on (or near) his face. And either he’s exaggerating that number on Instagram, or his memory has tricked him into believing that this was an intrusion of 15 (yes, a group of roaches is an “intrusion”, I just Googled this and am absolutely delighted!). Cuz seriously, why would 15 roaches congregate on Diddy’s face? Did they sense he had some musical talent and decided to get together and inspire the fuck outta him? Or was child Diddy (lil’ Puff) sleeping with a face mask made of expired cold cuts? We may never know the truth.
