<p>According to <a href="https://www.vibe.com/news/entertainment/diddy-drink-champs-hip-hop-podcasts-1234715586/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VIBE</a>, the music mogul gave the duo their flowers during a commemoration party on Sunday. The party was intended to celebrate the hosts&#8217; recent win for Best Hip-Hop Platform at the 2022 BET Hip-Hop Awards. And it was thrown by Diddy himself.</p>

<p>In a clip shared on Instagram, Diddy is heard telling guests and fellow podcasters to thank N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN for their contributions.</p>
<blockquote><p>They really created a whole industry for a lot of people that come from where we’ve come from to get seven-figure deals. And it would not be that way if it wasn’t for these two guys. So congratulations, and when y’all see them, say thank you. Be gracious.</p></blockquote>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Diddy Gets Schooled</h3>
<p>Although Diddy&#8217;s remarks were met by applause at the event, not many were pleased. According to <a href="https://www.vibe.com/news/entertainment/diddy-drink-champs-hip-hop-podcasts-1234715586/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VIBE</a>, fellow podcasters, <a href="https://www.bdotmiller.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brian &#8220;B. Dot&#8221; Miller</a> and <a href="https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2022/01/kazeem-famuyide-details-why-he-was-fired-from-wwe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kazeem Famuyide</a> were quick to let Diddy know where he went wrong.</p>
<p>“Juan Ep, RIP Combat Jack,” B. Dot Miller commented, referring to the <em>Juan Epstein</em> podcast hosted by <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/dj-cipha-sounds-breaks-up-with-hot-97-after-17-years/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cipha Sounds</a> and <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/peter-rosenberg-admits-comparing-kelly-rowland-and-beyonce-in-interview-was-clumsy-and-stupid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Peter Rosenberg</a>. As well as the iconic <em>Combat Jack Show</em>, hosted by the late <a href="https://www.theroot.com/how-the-legacy-and-influence-of-combat-jack-lives-on-in-1821497483" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reggie “Combat Jack” Ossé</a>.</p>

<p>Famuyide took Miller&#8217;s comment a step further.</p>
<blockquote><p>Love for NORE and EFN, but never count out the contributions or Combat Jack, Juan Ep, and [Taxstone].</p></blockquote>
<p>As many would recall, <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/26018-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Taxstone</a> released his podcast, <a href="https://twitter.com/taxseasonpod" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Tax Season</em></a>, in 2015 on Combat Jack’s Loud Speakers network.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">More Hip-Hop Podcasters Missing From The Conversation</h3>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.vibe.com/news/entertainment/diddy-drink-champs-hip-hop-podcasts-1234715586/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VIBE</a>, one internet user couldn&#8217;t help but mention another podcaster whom Diddy had forgotten.</p>
<blockquote><p>I’m sorry, but N.O.R.E ain’t paved the way for SH*T. <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/social-media-drags-joe-budden-for-admitting-he-faked-putting-on-condoms-during-sex-on-recent-podcast-episode/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Budden</a> is the one who made podcasts popular. S/O to Combat Jack (RIP), he set it off, but it was JOE BUDDEN in this recent era that made damn near everyone wanna pod. Foh Diddy.</p></blockquote>

<p>According to <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/606127-diddy-credits-drink-champs-for-creating-a-whole-industry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HotNewHipHop</a>, another internet user seemed to agree.</p>
<blockquote><p>Nahh. You can’t rewrite history like this. Combat Jack, Taxstone, and Joe Budden were on the podcast wave in Hip-Hop before Drink Champs even recorded an episode. Podcasts were popular by 2016 and that’s when Drink Champs came out.</p></blockquote>
<p>Roommates, what are your thoughts on Diddy&#8217;s comments?</p>
