As Sean “Diddy” Combs remains in prison without bail as he awaits his trial date, X users have uncovered a diss track about him by a group Calle 13. The Puerto Rican singing trio has dissed the singer in their song Pi-Di-Di-Di.
Calle 13’s Residente, Visitante José Cabra Martínez, and iLe released the track back in 2005. Pi-Di-Di-Di is supposedly about Diddy visiting Puerto Rico in 2004 seeking out reggaetoneros to appear in their Sean John clothing line. Although singer Daddy Yankee accepted the offer, Residente and Tego Calderón did not, due to the unimpressive financial compensation they were being offered.
Residente crooned in the song that appeared in Calle 13’s first album, that he did not want to become a sellout by collaborating with Diddy. Residente also claimed in the song that Diddy called himself the “sugar daddy of all the mack daddies” when he met the singers.
Several netizens took to the internet to comment on the song, with some believing that the song seems to foreshadow Diddy's current predicament. One such comment on X read (as translated from Spanish):
"Listening to Calle 13 until this came out, this guy already knew things."
Netizens also took to the comment section of the song's YouTube cover audio to share their reactions to the same.
Diddy never addressed the song following its release despite the track being directed towards him. Some other reactions to the same read:

Exploring the lyrics of Pi-Di-Di-Di as Calle 13’s Diddy-diss track goes viral online
Calle 13 is best known for their blended rhythms that take inspiration from EDM, jazz, bossa, samba, salsa, and hip-hop, changing the face of Latin pop music. The group has won multiple Grammys, including those for their albums Residente o Visitante and Multi-Viral. They have also won multiple Latin Grammy awards.
In their four-minute and 15-second song that does not include a music video, the group trolled Diddy for his voice by singing, “He [Combs] came out from behind me, very mouthy as a loudspeaker.” The song continued with the lyrics, “So I spit him out with hot sauce and he instantly stood up”
As the band sang about how people were trying to buy them off, the chorus included the lyrics:
“Even if they offer me a million, I tell you no/ There is a stream of suckers/ There is a stream of piglets/ There is a stream of hams/ If Puff Daddy offers me a million, I say no/ There is a stream of suckers”
