Was puff daddy in a talent show?

While there's no widely documented evidence of Puff Daddy participating in a traditional talent show, he did perform at a high school talent show early in his career.

He was known as "Puff" at the time, and he rapped with a group called "The Uptown Crew" at Mount Saint Michael Academy in the Bronx, New York. This was likely before his rise to fame and adoption of the "Puff Daddy" moniker.

This anecdote isn't widely known but it highlights his early passion for music and how he started his journey towards becoming a successful artist and producer.
