The BET Awards brought many people joyous occasions, but it also brought some drama. Puff Daddy took home the Lifetime Achievement Award this past Sunday, Jun 16. Pete Rock felt disrespected when Diddy referred to Bobby Brown as the “first Chocolate Boy Wonder” during his acceptance speech.
Only hours after the BET Awards concluded, the legendary Hip-Hop producer took to Instagram to convey his frustrations. In the post, Rock calls out his fellow New Yorker, Diddy, for failing to credit him as the first Chocolate Boy Wonder.

Pete Rock’s Frustrations Surface
Pete Rock wrote a lengthy post expressing his frustrations about the whole situation. It seems that the Hip Hop producer felt highly insulted by the comments made by Diddy. His post stated, “my gift is from GOD the almighty mister puff smh i made those hits 4real. There is no comparison dude. I been here before you. Dont let em go in on you cuz its alot there.”
Though Diddy and Pete Rock are from Mount Vernon, NY, it seems that Rock feels it was him who really grew with the city. Rock cites things that Diddy did in the past that rubbed him the wrong way. Something like, “you brought biggie to the basement only to diss me later and not use me on any of his projects.”
Rock’s rise in the business came in the late 1980s and early ’90s. Most people know him for work with Common, Run-DMC, C.L. Smooth, and Heavy D. Both Diddy and Rock have proven that they made a stamp on Hip-Hop culture. Though Rock seems disrespected by not having the title of “first Chocolate Boy Wonder.”
