Diddy is causing drama for parents of New York City public school students who continue to use his name for jokes that disrupt class. Speaking with the New York Post, one parent labeled the trend, "heartbreaking," joining calls to have schools ban Diddy's name from the classroom.
Vanessa Mejia, mother to an 8-year-old at Chelsea's PS-11, says her daughter came home shouting "Welcome to my Diddy party." She had heard a boy use the phrase in her third-grade classroom. Mejia said it was "extremely" shocking due to the age of the children. "And then my second thought was, who knows how much information this boy had on the whole [Diddy] situation? Because if he is well-informed, did he really mean to say that? Or was it that he didn't know what it meant?" she told the outlet.
