#193: King Combs

This week on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, we welcome Bad Boy/Epic recording artist King Combs, to the Upper West Side! The son of Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs and Kim Porter, Christian AKA King Combs, discusses growing up the son of hip-hop royalty, moving from the East Coast to the West Coast, with a couple stops in Columbus, Georgia, his memories of hanging out in Central Park and getting McDonald's in Times Square, his mother's excellent cooking, getting to know his neighbors in Calabasas, CA, how he celebrated his 16th birthday, why it took so long to get his drivers license, and how he attended five proms in high school. We talk about watching 106 & Park growing up, dance battling Rihanna, who the best dancer in the Combs family is, meeting and collaborating with Smooky Margielaa, the importance of writing his own rhymes, when he started taking rap seriously as a career, and how exactly he approached his label-owner father with his own art. We get into hanging out in Remy Ma's kitchen, what it was like to be around the Bad Boy Reunion Tour, almost signing to G.O.O.D. Music, taking the SATs with the dream of going to USC, walking in fashion shows, his CYN crew, how he never trips, his new project 90's Baby, and much more!
