It was an epic moment.
Diddy’s tumble during the BET Awards this summer captured everyone’s attention.
This week, on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Diddy finally offered up a hilarious play-by-play of his fall – and it’s hilarious.
Meyers introduces the clip, noting the embarrassing nature of the footage. Diddy immediately responds, “You gonna do that to a brother?”
Yes, he was.
Once Meyers shows the clip, the camera returns to Diddy. The hip-hop mogul then takes his sunglasses off and breaks it all down.
“You know what I tell people all the time?” he starts. “I’m only human!”
Later, Diddy has the perfect explanation.
“So, what happened was … I’m performing in front of, like, 30 million people live on TV,” he says. “I pride myself on being one of the coolest guys in the world. I don’t make mistakes like this, okay? So, I walk over the trap door. Lil’ Kim is about to come up, I get a little excited. Kendrick Lamar is in the front, I’m competitive, I run up to him like ‘Kenrick, you see me. You see me rockin’. But I forget about the trap door behind me that was closed when I was getting out to the front. I turned around; it was open.”
Diddy’s next explanation? He’s a “superhero,” who goes by the name of “Black Man.”
“I’m falling through the hole, it feels like it’s three hours, [but it’s] only like 2.2 seconds.” Diddy continues. “My superpowers are going, I put my arms out to the side, I push myself up. I throw myself up in the air, I land on beat. I have this embarrassing look on my face, but I’m not facing the camera. And I say to myself, ‘You better get that look off your face.'”
And then Diddy closes with his classic recovery.
Only Diddy.
