Diddy says you can have your mango and eat it too.
The hip-hop mogul shared a bit of advice while taking several juicy bites into a mango, which was the central object of his speech, not the latest flavor of his Cîroc vodka. He just got off promoting his DeLeón tequila during “the most private party in the world” he hosted over Fourth of July weekend with guests as big as Drake. But now the 51-year-old rapper and businessman is taking Tuesday morning (July 6) off to simply enjoy the fruits of his labor and the fruit from a platter by his infinity pool overlooking the ocean as Diddy dove into his speech before diving into the pool with his goggles on.
“You can do it. You can be whoever you want,” he said while munching on the mango. “You can be eating mango too, with the ocean as your backyard. I ain’t special. I just want it bad, you feel me? I will not allow myself to not have mango. I hustle hard. Don’t allow yourself to not have mangos and the ocean as your backyard!”
In the caption for the video, the multihyphenate, who has a net worth of more than $800 million, pointed out his humble beginnings of waking up to “15 roaches on my face. At that moment I said hell no, I refuse to live like this. Work hard, believe in your crazy dreams… AND NEVER SETTLE! #LOVE.”
