Puff Daddy has taken to his social media page to say he started his first job at just 12, as a newspaper boy.
The American rapper and music producer known as Puff Daddy but real name is Sean Combs a few hours ago, took to his page to share some inspiring words for his fans and followers on his page. He said:
“What you might not realize, what I think a lot of people don’t know, is that from the get-go, when I started my first job, I was only 12 years old. I was a paper boy. And the way I got the job was really through my entrepreneurial spirit, which is something I got from my mother.
At the time, I wasn’t old enough to work legally, so I made a deal with the paper boys who were leaving for college. I told them to let me deliver their papers and I’d send them half of the money. By the time I was 13, I had six routes.”
Puff Daddy then narrated how he went to Howard University and did not finish, but later got a honorary Doctorate from the school. He said:
“I say this all to say that before I entered into the business of music, I went to college at Howard University. I didn’t graduate, because I decided to pursue my career in the music industry. But I was given an honorary doctorate from Howard. I went there for business.”
I’ve always been businessman first. Even when I pursue my passion in the music industry, I do it from the perspective of an entrepreneur.

Puff Daddy will not be the first celebrity to share their story on how they became successful, as other celebrities have also taken to their social media to encourage their fans and followers on what it takes to be successful in life.
Also, just like Puff Daddy, Nigerian and African richest blogger, who also got an honorary Doctorate Degree, Linda Ikeji shared her experience on how she worked her way up to become the number one blogger in Africa.
