Diddy Reportedly Banned From Wearing Joker Costume

Author Autumn Hawkins
NEW YORK, NY - MAY 14: Sean "Diddy" Combs attends the 2018 Fox Network Upfront at Wollman Rink, Central Park on May 14, 2018 in New York City.

Diddy had to find a new costume this year after his Joker impression was just too good. If you remember, last year, the Bad Boy Records founder was the villain from Batman and walked through the streets mimicking the Joker’s mannerisms. While social media got a kick out of Diddy’s costume and acting ability, Warner Brothers who owns the trademark to the character was not too happy about it.

“Last year I was the Joker, and I actually got a letter from the studio that I can no longer be the Joker because they said it broke their trademark that I did it too good, I swear,” Diddy explained on Jimmy Kimmel Live. I have this letter from Warner Brothers.”

This year however, Diddy opted to be Batman where he had the Batmobile and all on full display.

Diddy’s Recent Music

Last month, Diddy released his fifth studio album, The Love Album: Off the Grid. The LP featured guest appearances from Justin Bieber, Mary J. Blige, The Weeknd, Kehlani, Ty Dolla $ign, Jazmine Sullivan, Teyana Taylor, Summer Walker, Jozzy, 21 Savage, H.E.R., and more.

Prior to the release of the album, Diddy dropped a trailer where some of the aforementioned musicians made cameos.

“We in the love era, that’s the frequency that I’m asking y’all to be a part of,” Diddy says in the trailer. “I had to go off the grid in order to really lock in ’cause I was so addicted to my phone, so addicted to the work, so addicted to the bulls—.”

The album is now being turned into a short film starring Diddy and model Eva Apio. Apio is convincing Diddy’s character to love again but both make it clear to not fall in love with one another. The two dance around the desert, get involved in a high-speed car chase, and more in the film.

“Working with Eva Apio was an incredible experience. Her talent and energy brought my vision to life,” Diddy said in a press release per Billboard.

The Off The Grid film has not announced a release date but will hit theaters soon. Watch the trailer below.

Ice Spice, Megan Thee Stallion & More Celebrate Halloween

  • Ice Spice

    Ice Spice was the classic Betty Boop for Halloween this year. The Bronx native wore a strapless red dress and heart-shaped garter. She even switched up her orange curly fro for a jet black look to fully get into character.

  • Megan Thee Stallion

    The cosplay queen strikes again! Megan Thee Stallion served during her “Hottieween” as a flower from Alice in Wonderland. The rapper wore a green bodysuit adorned with vines and leaves. What really stole the show was her large flower headpiece.

  • Chlöe Bailey

    Chlöe Bailey got Halloween started early as she appeared as Khaleesi, the Mother of Dragons from Game of Thrones. The R&B star switched up her luscious locs for a platinum blonde wig. The “Surprise” crooner wore an armor-inspired piece that completed the whole look. She also posed in a dungeon-like room to give the medieval look a full effect. However, this was just costume number one. The singer was also dressed as Catwoman over the weekend. Take a look at that costume here.

  • Halle Bailey and DDG

    The couple costume winner this year is definitely Halle and DDG. After years of Halle being told by the internet she favors Janet Jackson, she finally leaned into the costume. Bailey and her boyfriend DDG, dressed up as Jackson and Tupac Shakur from the 1993 film Poetic Justice. DDG even fully committed to the role and wore Shakur’s infamous nose ring. The “Heaven” singer also changed her locs for Jackson’s signature braids and hat from the film.

  • Lizzo

    The late Tina Turner is still on a lot of our minds after her death back in May. The singer was 83. Lizzo, who honored that late legend during her tour earlier this year after the news of her death, played homage to the singer once again during Halloween. Lizzo rocked a short wig and dress with fringe galore to bring out her inner Tina. The “Special” singer had simply the best costume choice this year.

  • North West

    ♬ Can't Tell Me Nothing - Kanye West

    While North West is not a chart-topping rapper like her father (yet), the 11-year-old seemed to have a blast posing as Kanye’s Dropout Bear. The Dropout Bear is an anthropomorphic symbol that the rapper used predominantly for the College Dropout trilogy. North wore the complete costume from head to toe, and let’s face it, no one is pulling it off the way she can.

  • Saweetie

    Saweetie opted for both a nostalgic look and a scary one. The Bay Area rapper chose to be Edward Scissorhands from the 1990 film of the same name starring Johnny Depp. The “Best Friend” emcee wore a short black wig, white face paint, and a dozen silver chains, and buckles. On her fingers of course was a glove that had a multitude of scissors. If you need a haircut, you know who to call.

  • Keke Palmer

    Keke Palmer was real real-life Barbie doll for one of her Halloween costumes this year. The actress dressed up as Tyra Banks from film Life Size which also stars Lindsey Lohan. The Big Boss creator also did a Halloween shoot with her son, where she dressed up as the bride of Frankenstein. You can see that post here.
