Their energetic videos have gone viral, but a group of children battling pediatric cancer had high hopes that they would capture Sean Love Combs's attention. The kids from Fighting All Monsters, a non-profit organization out of Miami, Florida, recently went viral as they danced to Diddy's "Bad Boy For Life," a classic single that also features Black Rob and Mark Curry. The track is from Diddy's third studio album The Saga Continues.... and was made to solidify Bad Boy Records' permanent place in the industry.

Even Snoop Dogg made an appearance with the darlings from Fighting All Monsters, and the kids were keen to get Diddy involved. The organization aids families of children battling cancer and "Bad Boy for Life" is their "unofficial anthem" as the lyrics say, "We ain't goin' nowhere / We ain't, goin' nowhere / We can't be stopped now / 'Cause it's Bad Boys for life."
The group's aim is to bring awareness to pediatric cancer, so why not target the man responsible for their theme song. Statistics reportedly show that 43 kids a day are diagnosed with cancer and only a small fraction of the donations for cancer are allocated for children. Diddy shared a news report of the kids jamming to his 2001 hit and he decided to take action.
"WOW! I’M SO INSPIRED BY THIS," he wrote on Instagram on Thursday (January 23). "These kids are so strong and I’m humbled they’ve found strength in one of my songs. They are fearless and motivating me like nothing before. And of course I’ll dance with all of you! Every time I’m feeling my energy shift I get up and dance. Keeps my vibrations high! I’ll dance with y’all everyday! Never stop believing... and remember WE AIN’T GOING NOWHERE!!!!"
TMZ reports that since Diddy shared their video with his 16 million Instagram followers, the organization has been overwhelmed with support. One person donated $21K worth of iPads and an executive from Apple reportedly reached out inquiring about how the company could help. Another person gave the organization tickets to the Super Bowl in Miami for two of the children, while others have reached out to volunteer.
Diddy, himself, is apparently putting together something unique and special for the Fighting All Monsters crew, so keep an eye out for that. Check out their report below.
Steve Harvey Fires Back At Mark Curry’s Joke-Jacking Claims: "Grow Up, Man!"
“Get a life, get a career — go do something!”
Just a few days after comedian Mark Curry blasted Steve Harvey for stealing his jokes, the original Kings Of Comedy star is now responding to those claims and his response is definitely no laughing matter.
Curry’s comments to TMZ (seen above) detail a Halloween bit that Harvey apparently stole on two separate occasions: once on his now-canceled daytime talk show Steve, and again on the Kids Say the Darndest Things-esque variety show Little Big Shots. However, Steve is now defending himself by flat out denying the thievery altogether and claiming that Curry can’t even name the joke he claims was stolen in the first place. “Steve Harvey ain’t been on stage since 2015,” the legendary comedian said, referring to himself in third-person. He went on to add, “Ask Mark Curry what joke he talkin’ ’bout [sic]. Tell him to grow up, man!” After also telling Curry to “get a life” and “get a career,” Steve explained that Mark doesn’t know what he’s talking about and is simply making stuff up. Sadly, we don’t see this beef ending amicably — one of them needs to just dead the whole thing altogether.
Watch a few clips of both comedic legends at their primetime peaks below, and then let us know whose side you’re on:
Mark Curry Tells Steve Harvey To Take Tips From Diddy With Most Recent Joke-Stealing Claims
It looks like “Mr. Cooper” won’t be hanging with Steve Harvey anytime soon if the “Little Big Shots” host doesn’t stop jacking his jokes.
Steve Harvey became a household name as the beloved host of Family Feud, but it looks like the seasoned comedian will soon be prepping for a whole different type of feud if he doesn’t stop stealing jokes from equally legendary jokester Mark Curry.
The former Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper star recently gave TMZ an earful of his disdain for Harvey’s biting ways, telling the media outlet, “My thing with Steve Harvey is that he used my material on both his platforms,” referring to Harvey’s stints on the NBC shows Little Big Shots and the daytime talk show Steve which was canceled last year. Even after approaching him at Def Comedy Jam 25 in 2017 about the subject, Curry says Harvey is still on his “jacking joints” steez that he spoke publicly about on FOX SOUL’s The Mike & Donny Show last month.
As TMZ puts it, Harvey stole one of Curry’s Halloween bits on the latter show a few years ago, then turned around and did it again on Little Big Shots, which Mark wrongfully-yet-hilariously refers to as “kids say the somethin’ somethin’.” He even uses a classic rap reference to make his point even clearer, stating to TMZ, “When Puffy sampled, he did it right!” in reference to Puff Daddy producing hits in the ’90s for the likes of The Notorious B.I.G., 112, Faith Evans and others that heavily sampled soulful records from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s.
While we’re sure this beef won’t be approaching 50 vs French Montana levels anytime soon, at least it’s producing some positive outcomes. Mark Curry confirmed that his frustration with Harvey stealing his material has actually inspired him to come out of retirement to do a whole new comedy special, even listing Netflix, HBO, Showtime and Bounce TV as potential hosts.
