Diddy‘s guitar autographed with his former Puff Daddy moniker is going up on the auction block — and experts are watching to see if his public downfall helps or hurts the final price.
GottaHaveRockAndRoll is expecting upwards of $2K to be splashed out on the electric guitar that boasts the inscription “Luv, Puff Daddy, Bad Boy 4 Life” in silver felt-tip pen — a nod to his 2001 hit song with that title, and the mogul’s label Bad Boy Records … home to rap legends like Notorious B.I.G.
The instrument comes with a James Spence Authentication (JSA) Letter of Authenticity, and a Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity … so, bidders know they’re getting the real thing. Rest assured, this guitar is the real deal and in good condition.
The listing is part of the site’s Hip-Hop auction, which begins Wednesday … and also includes other items like Biggie Smalls’ autograph and Kanye West‘s signed boots.
As for the Diddy guitar … it’s no surprise the bidding probably won’t reach astronomical heights, given the controversy swirling around him.
As you know … the feds are on his tail, and he’s facing a barrage of lawsuits with some pretty serious allegations. On top of that, the brutal video of him beating his then-GF Cassie surfaced last month.

Of course, controversy sometimes fuels higher bidding at some auctions. Don’t forget, plenty of O.J. Simpson-related items have been auctioned off for years.
The ‘Bad Boy’ guitar will reveal which way the market’s swinging for Diddy.
