<p>P. <a href="/profile/Diddy" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Diddy</a> is nothing short of a household name. Just last week, he hosted a massive, star-studded birthday bash for Quality Control CEO Pee, which featured live dancers, exotic animals, and more. He <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/diddy-shows-off-his-private-jet-combs-air-news.133157.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">even has his own private jet &#8220;Combs Air,&#8221;</a> a true testament to his celebrity status. </p>
<p>That being said, this is the exact reason a Newark, NJ teenager is <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/diddy-declares-himself-king-of-new-york-miami-and-la-news.133144.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">calling out the rap mogul for allegedly stealing</a> his Circulate App idea, a platform designed to ease the search for Black-owned businesses for its users. The high schooler shared a passionate video directed at the Bad Boy Entertainment CEO, pleading with him to recognize his contributions. </p>

<p>&#8220;Have you ever had your heart ripped out of your chest?&#8221; says the teen in the video. &#8220;For the past year, I&#8217;ve been building, developing, and promoting a black business discovery app called Circulate. This past Wednesday, P. Diddy announces he&#8217;s creating a Black business discovery platform called Shop Circulate.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This is <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/j-cole-reflects-on-fighting-diddy-on-let-go-my-hand-news.131936.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">what a Black entrepreneur faces all the time</a>. We go under-funded, we can&#8217;t get loans, we don&#8217;t have a network to get resources from, look man, I&#8217;m a kid from Newark, New Jersey, I can&#8217;t fight this machine alone. I need help. Follow us on Instagram, donate to our GoFundMe, links are in the bio. And if somehow, this reaches the ear of P. Diddy directly,&#8221; pleads the teenager, &#8220;you can email me here.&#8221;  </p>

<p>Diddy announced on June 1st he planned to release an app dubbed Shop Circulate, a digital marketplace for Black brands. The teen&#8217;s page was notably launched a full month prior to the announcement. </p>
<p>The teen also included an infographic highlighting what their business is designed to do. It reads, &#8220;We saw that the status quo was devoid of a centralized hub to support black businesses and professionals. We decided to change that. From the ground up. This platform was built by 2 teenagers who were tired of being tired of being tired. <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/black-robs-manager-calls-out-diddy-hes-dead-and-gone-now-news.130676.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">This culminiation of sweat, blood, and tears</a>. Long-nights, and countless fights.&#8221;</p>
