"I started getting emails from Puerto Rican girls asking if they could be in my video and people were asking me to look at their clothing line," Dearlove told the Guardian newspaper.

Sean Combs, the American entertainment mogul, has lost the right to use his shorter nickname of "Diddy" in the United Kingdom after an out-of-court settlement with a British artist.
Sean Combs will have to drop the nickname Diddy in Britain after a settlement with a British music producer.
The 36-year-old, who also uses other monikers such as Puff Daddy and Puffy, was embroiled in a court battle with music producer Richard Dearlove.
Combs — whose massive empire includes hip hop label Bad Boy Records, two clothing lines, a restaurant chain, a reality television show and a perfume — decided to change his name to "Diddy" in August.
That sparked the lawsuit from Dearlove, who has been using "Diddy" as part of his business name since 1992.
Dearlove is likely known best for his 1992 dance remix of the Blondie hit Atomic and reached the British charts at No. 23 with Give Me Love in 1997.
The 40-year-old producer said he was alarmed when Combs decided to change his name to Diddy.
"I started getting emails from Puerto Rican girls asking if they could be in my video and people were asking me to look at their clothing line," Dearlove told the Guardian newspaper.
"This is my name. I've been successful, too. I'm not a global megastar, but what I do is valid."
Combs's lawyer in Britain, Nigel Calvert, would only confirm that the matter had been settled. The case had been expected to be heard on Oct. 23 in London. Source
