Saturday Night Live’ Rips Into Diddy, Prince Andrew Name Dropped
Saturday Night Live returned with a bang, taking aim at Diddy in a scathing Weekend Update segment. The comedic duo, Colin Jost and Michael Che, dissected the rapper-turned-entrepreneur’s recent endeavors, poking fun at his seemingly endless string of brand launches and entrepreneurial ventures.
“Diddy is just a walking, talking, champagne-popping advertisement for himself,” Jost quipped, referencing Diddy’s latest venture, a line of luxury water bottles. Che added, “He’s like a human infomercial. Next thing you know, he’ll be selling Diddy-branded oxygen.”
The segment then veered into even more unexpected territory, with Che drawing a comparison between Diddy’s self-promotion and the infamous Prince Andrew. “Diddy’s gotta chill,” Che chuckled, “You know, just trying to sell water? Maybe just hang out with Prince Andrew, they could start a new ‘Sweat and Tears’ brand of deodorant.”
The SNL writers didn’t hold back, lampooning Diddy’s recent name change to “Love,” a move that the writers deemed “weird” and “a bit too much.” The segment concluded with a lighthearted jab at Diddy’s age, reminding viewers that he’s “older than the internet” and “probably still paying for his first yacht.”
This was just one of many satirical barbs thrown at various celebrities and political figures during the episode, showcasing SNL’s continued commitment to bold and biting humor. While Diddy himself has yet to respond to the segment, the comedic commentary has certainly ignited social media discussion and generated plenty of laughs along the way.
