: MediaTakeOut.com has learned that Frank Lucas, the man whose life was documented in the movie American Gangster was on NY's Miss Jones In The Morning radio show yesterday. And he dropped an extraordinary revelation about Sean "Diddy" Combs' father. According to him, Diddy's father was a notorious Harlem gangster.

Here's an excerpt of what Frank Lucas told the radio audience:

I know Melvin Combs ... He was a [hustler] Big Time ... I'm sorry Puff, but I gotta tell it like it is.
Miss Jones: Was he on your level big?
Yeah ... he was right there. I remember one time he got locked up on 3rd Avenue and 139th St ... He got locked up with like a kilo of cocaine ... I had to pay like $36,000 to get him out of jail, you know. Shortly after that [Diddy's father] got killed.

crafty

mmmama

i'm with crafty. err body know that.


Lis

Most of us that have followed Diddy's career (only in a sense that he's an inspiring rags to riches story), already knew about his father.

He's been quite candid about his life, because it has molded him into the kind of hard-working, driven man he is today.


diabolicmisses

YOUR LATE MTO!! EVERYBODY ALREADY KNOW ABOUT DIDDY POPS.


Diamond1

*** this man needs to keep his mouth ***. He should know the code of the streets never talk! I don't care if he doesn't hustle he still needs to *** up.

REDBONE37

I guess you learn something new everyday.


killdanoise1

TRUE STORY!!! HIS FATHER WAS THE "MAN" BACK IN DA DAY - BUT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IS SAYING, THIS IS VERY OLD.

DIDDY ALREADY SCHOOLED US ON THIS INFO.


DaddiesPrincess

CodePink

THE HUSTLE IS IN HIM!!!


flygirlph

I am so happy Diddy didn't decide to follow in his father's footsteps. Even though I don't like him I do like him. It's a love/hate thing.


vanilla_one

yeah this is very old MTO, Diddy will tell you in a heartbeat that his father was a well known kingpin in Harlem and how his dad used to have his mother dressed in the finest clothes, minks, jewelry, etc.!

ChocCookie Flag post

Diddy's head really bothers me.

****************************************

ROTFLMAO!!

MTO you put this *** out there like it was suppose to have some kind of impact on diddy, calm down i'm sure he is very familiar with his late dad's background..


BKsQueen

For those whose saying Frank Lucas is trying to put things out on Diddy Is all Wrong and MTO got *** [EXPLETIVE] up! I actually heard the interview that morning and Envy asked Frank Lucas did he Know Melvin Combs which is Puffy's pops, and he said yea he knew him real well, that's how he got into that whole $36,000 dollar story, he didn't bring him up to start dishing out dirt.... So get your facts right MTO!


RemyMa

Yup and Diddy's pops got *** in the head! To bad he dont take after his father cuz Diddy is a BI-YATCH!


illslogic

@Remyma, How is diddy a bI-yatch? Nicca been in the game holdin it down for over a decade and ain't lost a beat yet. Survived the east coast west coast drama, survived *** outs with shine, survived threats from Suge ***, brought Jodeci, Missy, Timberland, Genuine, Mary J., biggie, etc in the game and he's still one of the top niccas out here and that's your idea of a BI-YATCH huh? If Diddy's a bi-yatch I'd hate to hear your idea of a real huslter is. Get ya mind right, I don't see how diddy is a bi-yatch it seems to me that the people around the nicca are the bi-yatches.


naomi

Old news!


illslogic

Diddy has already said that his pops was a well known hustler back in the day and Frank Lucas didn't never say that his pops sold drugs he just said his pops was a real good friend of his and that he was big time but people know that diddy's father was a hustler anyway it's not like it a was a fuggin secret or some ***. It ain't like the nicca worked at walgreens or some ***.


mzarrogance

this isn't news. diddy revealed this when he first started to get big.


Godwell

I THINK PUFF HAS MENTIONED THIS BEFORE.

WASN'T HIS FATHER KILLED IN A VERY UNCONVENTIONAL MANNER?

No secret here. FRANK, STOP SNITCHIN, SNITCH.


Godwell

STOP putting a dead BLACK mans business out there.


DKnox

hear that interveiw with frank lucas on epiorb.com


c

NO WONDER DIDDY IS SUCH A CROOK LOL!



Goodhope247

Fracnk Lucs never likes to admit that he tells peoples business he def was not the same person that Denzel protrayed. He talk to *** much.


Goodhope247

LMAO Frank Lucas*** thats why i get for sneaking on here at work lol.


UKNOWUAINTRIGHT

*** can some people keep some information to themselves. lol


sweetluxury

ummm....who here is stupid enough to beleive that Puffy didnt know way before hand homie was gon say this? probably put his *** up to it knowing puffys corny ***. this aint nothin but some publicity to make Puffy look like something in the gangster world. this will just up his fame, he aint stupid! LOL


prettylatina

Duuuuh who didnt know this? This is news? Diddy claim harlme but grew up in the burbs in Westchester County. The kid aint hood. LOL


Datboi

ummm....who here is stupid enough to beleive that Puffy didnt know way before hand homie was gon say this? probably put his *** up to it knowing puffys corny ***. this aint nothin but some publicity to make Puffy look like something in the gangster world. this will just up his fame, he aint stupid! LOL

@sweetluxury

Are you dumb or what?? If you listen to the interview, the woman had ask frank did he knew Puff's Dad and he said yeah. That why he said that about Puff's dad. Dumb ***


slb2026

Diddy already discussed this in his VH1 Behind the Music. They even had pictures of his mom rocking her furs and jewels and a little Sean with a kiddy fur coat. I think his dad's murder was the reason why they moved from Harlem to Mt. Vernon... also explains why he repps Harlem in his music

And honestly, even though he was a 'snitch' at least he snitched on the WHITE, CORRUPT NYC cops and not his own people like Nicky Barnes' or AZ's SNITCHING a**


keeno1

HEARD the interview -- Mr. Lucas had no idea that Puffy was MELVIN COMB's son -- I don't think he was trying to out anybody. He was like, who? What dey call him, Puffy? His daddy was Melvin? Yeah, I knew Melvin. Then he told it from there.

ALL ya'll youngstas who think Black History began with Jay-Z, need to check out Mr. Lucas' story...dude is 77 years old now, and for a man who never learned to read, he learned to use his brain and made millions, although illegally. It's a great story because near the end he teared up and apologized for all the black folks he killed with his drugs -- at the time he was just doing what he'd learned he was good at. A VERY smart man...an inspirational story of what NOT to do. During his era, they were giving GIs heroin (how else were they to get through battle and taking human lives...?) So when they came back from 'Nam many were already addicted and he was supplying them what they needed...oh hell, watch the ***!!! *lol*


jade516

WHO CARES??????

WELL GOOD FOR MELVIN. MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PIECE WITH ALL THE OTHER BLACK PEOPLE WHO HAVE TRIED TO MAKE IT IN THAT BUSINESS.


yoshisnice

diddy is wack


MOTHERSHIP

Trying to be like pops? His dad was a wanna be, but Diddy is just like him. Arrogant, always wanna be up front type dude.


keeno1

Some things on this site, believe it or not all you who say "WHO CARES" DO actually deserve attention. Very little of it needs attention, like what color beyonce draws are, or if Jay Zee is cheatin' but some things you can learn from! Wake the f up and this why most folks on here are plain ignant...hahahahahaha

MrsPimptress

so diddy was telling the truth when he was telling the boys abt his father...thats real game right there...so we already know where diddy gets his money making skills from


gigi2007

I think Frank Lucas was in the witness protection program too long because hes not blowing up spots..Diddy and his mom both spooke many times about how Diddys father was a big time hustler in Harlem and got killed because of a drug deal that went bad..this isnt news Frank


kiauntam

I mean, just 20 years ago that was all a black man could do if he wanted real money. I'm not saying that it was not wrong, just real. Diddy had already said that his dad nice things and *** a ghetto a%% chinchilla coat, I mean, where would he get the money for that? So what.


luvmykidz

OH MA ***!! This is irrelevant though!


Datboi

Diddy's head really bothers me.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!


Ltcmdr49022

PLEASE!!! There ain't a bit of gangsta' in his blood. He's as soft as charmin comes.


MURDAMOMMIE

EVERYBODY IS CALLING HIM A SNITCH WHEN HALF OF YA'LL KNOW IF YA'LL WAS IN HIS SHOE'S LOOKING AT LIFE IN PRISON YA'LL BE TALKING TOO! BUT NOBODY WAS CALLING HIM OUT WHEN HE WAS OUT THERE KILLING ***!


TexazDiamond214

Funny, last time I checked Diddy already knew this about his daddy. Now why he talkin' bout "Sorry Puff, blah, blah, blah.



januaryreign

This is not news, everyone knows the story. But it also explains why old and tacky *** Janice Combs always looks like she belongs on a street corner - instead of spreading around that lame *** story about her being a high fashion model back in the day. Yeah, right. That old hag knows she wasn't no model so stop making that *** up.


drburke

And we're suprised why?


OWtlaw1963

Frank Lucas need to go sit his old *** down......Whats up with these old *** thugs


justfinethanks

O.***. SO THIS is WHY he's been RUNNING OUT ON KIM?


Datboi

@ justfinethanks

You is dumb as ***. This have nothing to do with Kim. Diddy didn't even know his father personal because he died when Diddy was two years old.


focus

It's already been reported that Diddy's father was a hoodlum. Look at Diddy's life. We see all the wealth and trappings that go with it but underneath all of that he's a ***, gangster and thug similar to his father. He just does it legally. There have been nothing but club fights, ***, babies everywhere, disrespect for the women he's with, etc.... What does that make him? A thug. His father just did it illegally and got caught.


focus

You would think some of these men would try to break the bonds of their fathers who abandoned them or lived illicit lives. Maybe they just don't know how. Get a therapist who will tell it like it is and not yes, yes, yes, all the time like the people they keep around them.


outkast3000

I'M A HUSTLER,LUCAS IS A HUSTLER,DIDDY'S DADDY IS A HUSTLER,YOU A HUSTLER,WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO BE A HUSTLER TOO?......WHO CARES!!!!!!!
