Is it actually a preferred name or is it a stage name?

Also how did puff daddy become diddy? I never understood that but I guess if I cared more I would have followed it closer

I just googled that too. Apparently he made the change to P Diddy in 2001 after being acquitted of guns and bribery cases to signify he was turning over a new leaf.

He dropped the P in 2005.

Iirc, the name change was because he wanted a name that sounds less gay.
