On
Tuesday
(November
7)
night,
the
O2
Shepherds
Bush
Empire
in
London
was
electrified
by
an
explosive,
sold-out
performance
by
two
titans
of
hip-hop,
Sean
“Diddy”
Combs
and
Giggs.
They
dominated
the
stage
with
back-to-back
hits,
including
a
live
debut
of
‘Mandem,’
which
drove
the
crowd
into
a
frenzy.
The
crowd
had
no
idea
that
Diddy
had
a
surprise
in
store.
Combs
introduced
Shyne
to
perform
the
iconic
‘Bad
Boyz’
anthem
and
‘Bonny
&
Shyne’
as
part
of
a
star-studded
lineup
of
special
guests
that
included
King
Combs,
Jozzy
and
Nova
Wave.
Jozzy,
the
premier
artist
signed
to
Love
Records,
performed
‘Homecoming,’
while
Nova
Wave
delivered
‘What’s
Love’
from
his
#1
R&B
album
The
Love
Album:
Off
The
Grid.
The
highly
influential
and
respected
Giggs
collaborated
with
Diddy
for
this
unique
show,
bringing
West
London
to
a
standstill
as
fans
lined
up
outside
the
venue.
Giggs
also
invited
Kyze,
Dubz,
Potter
Payper,
Lojay,
ML,
Tiny
Boost,
Youngs
Teflo
and
Suspect
to
the
stage
for
an
unforgettable
night
of
music.
He
also
presented
Diddy
with
a
cake
as
the
crowd
sang
Happy
Birthday.
Tickets
for
the
event
(which
went
on
sale
on
November
1st)
were
sold
in
aid
of
two
important
charities
for
the
Black
British
community:
Sickle
Cell
Society
and
Black
Minds
Matter.
The
former
raises
funds
for
those
affected
by
Sickle
Cell,
while
the
latter
is
a
mental
health
charity
aimed
at
supporting
the
Black
community
in
accessing
therapy.
Tickets
sold
out
in
just
5
minutes.
The
Shepherd’s
Bush
show
reunited
Giggs
and
Diddy
who
dropped
the
single
‘Mandem’
on
August
4th,
exactly
15
years
to
the
day
that
Giggs’
classic
and
massively
influential
debut
album,
Walk
In
Da
Park
was
released.
‘Mandem’
was
the
first
track
released
from
the

of
the
Atlantic,

Tolerance

Giggs’
first
full-length
record
since
2020’s
Now
Or
Never
and
finds
the
rapper
returning
to
the
stage
stronger
than
ever
with
a
record
he’s
described
as
an
“instant
classic.”
In
the
fifteen
years
since
Walk
In
Da
Park
Giggs

rightly
become

pioneering,
consistent,
uncompromising
and
most
loved
British
artists.

release
of
Zero
Tolerance
further
cements
his
cultural
importance
on
the
global
stage.

event
marked
another
milestone
in
the
illustrious
career
of
Diddy,
highlighting
his
30-year
legacy
in
the
industry
and
the
enduring
power
and
influence
of
Bad
Boy
Records.
He
celebrated
his
triumphant
return
to
music
with
his
latest
#1
album,
The
Love
Album:
Off
the
Grid,
under
