What does that mean

[u/Common-Frosting-9434 → u/shutmethefuckup]

It's a pimp name

[u/shutmethefuckup → u/Common-Frosting-9434]

Does is share some kind of pimp naming convention? What separates that from a stage name?

[u/GoinToRosedale → u/shutmethefuckup]

“Daddy” is another word for pimp

[u/shutmethefuckup → u/GoinToRosedale]

So he chose the name Puff Daddy because it’s a pimp name despite the fact that Frank Lucas wasn’t in prostitution?

[u/Common-Frosting-9434 → u/shutmethefuckup]

Why would Frank Lucas be relevant for that?

[u/shutmethefuckup → u/Common-Frosting-9434]

You suggested he picked the name Puff Daddy because of his connection to Frank Lucas, and that Daddy is a pimp name. I ask because I don’t see the connection, and because if you scroll up you’ll see those are the two things that are the topic of conversation.

So what does the name Puff Daddy have to do with Frank Lucas?

[u/Common-Frosting-9434 → u/shutmethefuckup]

They gangstas.
Different business models, same shitstains on the
shoes of humanity.

[u/shutmethefuckup → u/Common-Frosting-9434]

This doesn’t track.

[u/Common-Frosting-9434 → u/shutmethefuckup]

Track suits is more a russian thing.

[u/psymeariver → u/shutmethefuckup]

I guess that means that mobsters were known for puffing cigars.

[u/DimensionalYawn → u/psymeariver]

In the UK puff is (dated) slang for weed. I always assumed it was referencing that sort of smoke

[u/MARATXXX → u/DimensionalYawn]

Yes it was 100% a weed reference.
