Once again, we present the always-outspoken Poprah’s take on the latest episode of I Want To Work for Diddy. Below, Poprah talks her triumphant turn in this week’s hustling challenge (that makes two successful challenges in a row for her!), Mike’s betrayal of Kendra and the steps Stefanie took to ensure she’d be around for at least another week.
The Whore, The Hypocrite & The Hustler
WOWWWWWW! That’s what I felt as I watch this episode with none other than my girl Kendra. I just moved to LA and she already lives here, so we got together at her crib and watched it together along with her twin, Erin who’s mad cool. Then after we watched the show we talked to Boris who we’re both cool with, and I don’t know what was funnier, the show or our conversation about the show. So I’ll just give you the best of both cuz this ish should’ve been on TV too.
Of course this challenge starts with Diddy showing up at the loft in the middle of the night. I don’t know why, but I couldn’t stop thinking that night, and as normal I can’t sleep so it woke me up.And as I sat there on the bed, I saw Diddy walk across the kitchen. If I hadn’t been sitting up in the bed for a while, I would have thought I was dreaming. Like Kendra, I’ve had dreams about Diddy before, maybe not the same scenario, but I’ve often had dreams that I am really good friends and business partners with Diddy and Oprah. How funny is that? These dreams are so vivid and real sometimes that I hate waking up from them.
Anyhoo, Diddy wakes us all up and tell us about the challenge to hustle and flip his $500. Immediately, I’m thinking, this is my shot to show him I’ve been hustling my whole life and I got this thing, until he adds that we have to have a partner. Damn, I thought! I really was thinking about Mike or Boris, but before I could step to either one of them, bitchass Suzanne came and asked me to be her partner. I conceded because I could see they were already paired up with the people they wanted, so basically Suzanne got me by default.
Can you believe after all the crap she’s said about me and how many times she dogged me at elimination she asked me to be her partner? This is why I hate her, she’s sooooo fake! And once again she gets over and stays in the game because of my ideas and hard work, while I battle everyone else. As the results show, I’m a hustler, my concept works, (the street game show, that is), and her stupid ass idea doesn’t. I actually had to split my earnings with her and have a celebratory dinner with her. That was torture, cuz I wanted to kick her ass, not celebrate. I just hate being fake and I feel fake celebrating with someone I hate. As you can see, I almost doubled Diddy’s money in 8 hours, I’m a HUSTLER if I ain’t nothing else. On top of that I understand marketing, promotions, distribution, business planning, execution and I’m an idea factory. That’s what he needs!
Now for the HYPOCRITE, none other than Mike Barber. Mike once again is the hype man: all talk. He doesn’t understand anything about real business that’s why his idea of selling white T’s on the street in a business district was absolutely 100 percent stupid. The average person doesn’t rock white T’s, only your hip-hop folks and wannabes. So how many people did he really think would walk by that would even consider a white-T, and out of that three or four people, why would they want one now? He doesn’t understand anything about distribution, marketing, demographics, pricing. He’s just an average dude with a small vocabulary and smile. I told you guys flirting would not translate to dollars for him every time, like in the perfume challenge, and: tadddaaaaa!
Kendra at least tried to sell something with lower overhead, i.e. the jewelry, and people were buying it. The water wasn’t a bad idea for them, but they didn’t consider the competition. Hype-man Mike still acted like they did great even when we went in front of Capricorn. He was like, “even though we only made around $20 dollars, at least we didn’t lose Diddy’s money.” What?! Diddy didn’t say, “Save my money.” He said, “Make me money!” I’m sorry but this guy is 50 percent cute and 100 percent clueless. He’s good for one thing: manual labor. So if Diddy needs a butler, Mike’s his guy. Anything requiring thought, deductive reasoning, a business plan, forget about it! And to make it worse, he actually put Kendra up at elimination. Now, if that’s not bitchassness at its peak, I don’t know what is. The whole show he’s been trying to hook up with her, though claiming his undying loyalty to his girlfriend. Then he tricks her into believing he really has her back on or off the show and look what he does. And he called me a hypocrite! He didn’t even have to put her up for elimination because Stefanie and Boris already voted for her, so she was up for elimination no matter what. But he’s so stupid; he still voted for her and exposed his own hypocrisy and bitchassness. Taddaaa: he’s a backstabbing, hypocrite with no business acumen. Diddy beware! He might cost you your empire, one way or another!
And needless to say Kendra, her sister and I were screaming at the TV, when we saw the scene where Kendra says she knows Mike has her back and he says, “Hell yeah”. The only thing he had was a knife in his hand ready to stab her in it. Just remember ladies: when a guy betrays his girl for you, he will betray you too. Ain’t nothing changed baby, only the players, cuz game is still game!
Lastly, who’s the whore? Is it not obvious? Stefanie of course, but not for the reasons you think! No, there was nothing wrong in my mind about giving casual massages on the corner. Even though she let Boris hustle her like a trick and didn’t have any real ideas of anything better. She acted like she was so uncomfortable doing the massages, but didn’t suggest anything better. So suck it up, bitch, do it with a smile, and make Diddy’s money. Do you think I really wanted to have my fat ass rapping on a corner telling the world my real age? But if you say you’re ride or die, then ride!
What was super crazy was that after they got back to the loft and she knew she didn’t bring her best game to the hustle challenge, she acted like a trick with Boris. He kept rubbing her arm, leg, touching her and even though the expression on her face and her body language shows that she found it repulsive, she played along with it because she didn’t want him to go against her at elimination. That’s a trick, selling her moral values for a dollar, using her physical prowess for gain instead of relying on her real skills, talent and creativity. But maybe that’s all she has is her looks, so that’s probably what she’s used to. You don’t let no man touch you if you don’t want to be touched. But as you can see, as fake as Stefanie can be, she’s only playing herself. And if she doesn’t learn quick, and I mean real quick, she’s ripe to get played by this entertainment game. This industry eats girls like her alive everyday and spits them right back out, trust and believe. And I know Diddy’s not looking for a trick, he can get those anywhere.
So there you have it. The moral of the story is: Life is full of challenges, but it’s up to you to decide if you’re the whore, the hypocrite, or the hustler.
Always real,
Your Girl Poprah

I want to know where I send a video to try to get on “I want to work for Diddy.” PLEASE e-mail me and let me know where to send mine!
Kim you couldn’t have unleashed this story any better.
1. Referring to the game – It’s still the game, only the players change – THE GAME IS ALWAYS ON!!!
2. The fact that you called out Stefanie brings joy to my heart because she had no heart, no input but yet didn’t even want to do what she had agreed on and I remember the week before she was in front of the judges, mainly Capricorn promising to have what it takes to get the job done.
Where was that same motivational show and tell last night? She failed with that task alone.
Kim Everyone is so quick to dogg you but if they read your line above where you put it STRAIGHT LIKE THAT! Stating:
“That’s a trick, selling her moral values for a dollar, using her physical prowess for gain instead of relying on her real skills, talent and creativity. But maybe that’s all she has is her looks, so that’s probably what she’s used to”.
But everyone wants to comment on your size/body/weight which you have only use to get the job done. Bigger is Better. Where we like the girls who ain’t on front street cause they GOT MORE HEART THAN THE MODELS” – (STEFANIE) THANKS KANYE.

OK, I MISS THE SHOW LAST NIGHT( IT LEAST PART OF IT) BUT IT’S ON TONIGHT. POPRAH I’VE BEEN KEEPING YOU IN MY PRAYER CIRCLE. I PRAY DIDDY’S PICKS YOU. BECAUSE THE OTHERS ARE JUST USELESS. HE HAS A MONEYMAKER IN HIS FACE AND DOES’NT REALIZES IT!!! WHAT !!! GOD BLESS YOU POPRAH MAKE ME PROUD TONIGHT AND BLOCK THOSE HATERS OFF. MUCH LOVE AND SUPPORT. REMEMEBER TO READ PSALMS CH. 54 VERSUS 4-5 ( Before sleep and when you wake) VIDA LOCO ~ DALLAS,TEXAS
So Poprah has moved to LA? OK, so we know Bad Boy’s offices are in New York; however, I’ve heard that Diddy wants to pursue his acting career and for that reason, has to spend more time in Hollywood. Two possibilities exist here: Either Poprah did not get the job or she actually does win and moves to Los Angeles to handle Diddy’s movie aspirations and affairs there. I really hope the latter is true. I believe she would be a great `(+(+!%`(^*$&@~ et to Diddy’s team!
Good luck Kim (Poprah). Wishing you well.
40 ??? 40 ??? You are amazing for 40!!! Beautiful. I got a whole new prospective on you, KIM!!!
You go girl
My applause to you, beautiful lady! You have shown that you are the true “hustler”/business woman! Much success to you in ALL of your endeavours!
Ms LawDiva
KIM YOU ARE CORRECT! YOU ALWAYS TELL IT LIKE IT IS. The others on the show do not have clue about the music indursry or about a real hustle. Stephanie is a joke. Kendra and Boris both needed to go! Good luck Kim!
I KNOW THAT EVERYONE THINKS THAT YOU ARE A &`)(+~^&)+$_##!&) BUT GIRL YOU ARE DOING A DAMN THANG, I WISH YOU ALL THE LUCK YOU INDEED DONT HAVE ANY &`)(+~^&)+$_##!&) NESS ABOUT YOU!
Kim…All I can say is that they will never stop hating. Its clear you are the brains of the operation…EVERY TIME. As for Kendra and Boris…SEE YA! Boris has ZERO swag and Diddy is KING of swag. POPRAH SEE YA IN L.A. BABY!
I agree with everything you said, but what really suprised me was how mike betrayed kendra…i thought that was soooo low man and if i was her i would have said something. Also the cacusian lady she was just sad for women to be watching because she lowered her morals just not to get eliminated and just like poprah said you could see the disgust on her face when boris was touching her….but it is what it is…but what the people on this show should realiaze or any show as a matter of fact is that what goes around comes and around and you never know who you are going to see or who you are going to have to answer to in the future because karma is a &_&~#$(^+)*%+())_
As much as I wanted to hate on Kim, I have to give her respect where it’s due. Agreed, she may not be as tactful in people relations, but the woman knows business and is FIERCE. She doesn’t compromise what she believes or sells out just to get ahead. She is already a step above the competition and she keeps her eyes on the prize. Early on in the season I could tell that she would cause the most trouble, but as a good friend once told me people don’t always like ambition. Continue doing your thing girl! I like the euphemism you left us at the end. I had to borrow it as an away message on IM. Best of luck!
It took this episode for me to change my opinion about Kim. Kim is alright in my book and she deserves to win this thing. Mike is a backstabber and I lost all respect for him. They need to get rid of both of them bit$hes because they don’t deserve to win,,GO KIM!!!!!
yea you the #)#+)$*!%`&$^^_* i hope you win!!!!!
GIRL YOU R GONNA WIN THIS COMP KEEP DOING YOU OK CAUSE U GOT SKILL AN IF DIDDY CANT SEE THIS HE NEED TO STOP WEARING SHADES
The no more &!()_+@^~$((%$!`% assness tee shirt where can I get one…I love it.
I dont like kim, so what if she won last weeks challenge, i think shes physically weak, so big that she wobbles when she walks, how in the world will you keep up when diddy sends you out to get some cheesecake on foot mobile?, you may think fast but can your body keep up with your thinking? Im pretty sure you wont have slaves doing all your physical work while you kick back in your cage eating your curds and whey. Run kim Run! ! ! lets see if you can keep up with the gang in next weeks central park run, youd probably finish last or killova’. Jenny craig sistah Jenny craig.
KIM
NEEDS TO CHECK HERSELF. UNDERSTANDABLE THE GOAL IS TO WIN… BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A NINCOMPOOP IN THE PROCESS! IT MAY SEEM LIKE ITS ALL GOOD RIGHT NOW… BUT TRUST WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND!
I want this girl out of the show and send to a fat farm. I really see a real fake human bean and one that will use people and that credit for there work when she can’t pull it together on her own. I think she needs to learn how to speak , how to dress, how to act and most of all how to eat. Please get rid of her make me sick .
Every week I would watch this show yelling at the t.v. because no one could see poprah for the bull****** she was. Mr. Combs firing her the way he did was beautiful I taped it. I will now watch everything you put on t.v. I am so proud of you black man keep up the good work!!

What would you do for DIDDY for Diddy my A%& she thought walking that dog was beneath her. Thats what you get you can only fool people for a little while, she should have learned from the episode with Laurie Ann you don’t talk out of the side of your mouth.
Mike I believe you got this the other two are deer caught in head lights, not to mention HARVARD, YALE, OR EVEN GEORGE TOWN you can’t teach common sense. You are either born with it or born with out it you can’t be taught that. I only feel bad that Mike missed out on watching her get CANNED he probably would have enjoyed it I KNOW I DID…… LMAO…..
OH MY GOD! KIM (POPRAH) I HOPE DIDDY CANS HER,BECAUSE SHE TALKS OVER PEOPLE AND SHE CAN’T KEEP HER MOUTH SHUT. SHE SAYS IS WAS IN THIS INDUSTRY,BUT SHE SURE DOESN’T ACT LKE IT. I WORK IN RETAIL AND I HAVE MORE COMMON SENSE THAN SHE DOES.THE TASK SHE HAD TO DO WAS SO SIMPLE.ALL SHE HAD TO DO WAS GET OFF HER FAT A!# AND GO GET THE LIST FROM THE CLUB PRO. LORD!.. HOW HARD WAS THAT. SHE IS THE WEEKEST LINK……GOOD BYE!!!!!
Yeah ! ! Brotha’ Mike, I cheer him on man, I need Poprah to be gone on the next episode.
Mike is the” I CAN” kinda guy, no excuses, no waiting around to get things done, he goes out and does it. Damn I want him to win. On the other hand you have Dizzy Stefanie, although Diddy kept forgettin’ her name I think her humble attitude is what Diddy likes, I like her to. Suzanne seems lost and nervous, Who wouldnt be, but she looks like she would fit the role along side the rest of the more matured ~)#*%*(+`^_^_~# istants (Capricorn etc.)
Im with mike all the way, to bad Laverne couldnt be his partner in all of this.
Hey Diddy !, hows about 2 ~)#*%*(+`^_^_~# istants?
Mike aint nothin’ he a whimp. he sorry for everything. he need to tuffin’ up and stop acting like alittle girl. As for Kim she may got a mouth by shes a GO GETTER she get the job done and aint all sad faced liked Mike always is. As for the othertwo girls they just plum sorry. Not doubt they will be dropped they just dont have it. but so far everyone knows Kim is the strongest link. shes gotten more accomplished than anyone on this show. Face it she got SKILLS. yall ignorant individuals kill me, tryin to get a no good brother a job for DIDDY. He may got some skills but he aint qualified to work for DIDDY. Perhaps he’ll pick it up at a later date.
Poprah aint notin’ but a lazy ol’ gal.
She may be swift at the mouth but her body aint gonna’ go any faster than the speed of her yappin’.
She cant even walk a dog.
Even the dog smelt something fishy bout’ dis women.
Poopah is lucky Diddy didnt make her run around central park she’d be pooping out before it even begins. Yap YAp YAp its all she good for, cant even walk the talk. Well see if she there next week. Why they gotta’ cut out the exciting ending of the show.
Diddy know he’s wrong for this, Kim may not move like the others, but he can help a sister out, get her moving get her a personnel trainer or something because she is the one he needs. She failed on one task, but im pretty sure his other (!!%^**`$%`&%)^ istant’s makes mistakes too. All he has to do is look back at the tape and see 1. Stephine OOHHH MMYY GGOOOOODDNNEESS airhead if I ever met one, Her alone with MIKE he doesn’t have a clue. And he acts like a little girly GGGIIIIRRRLLL, GET A LIFE!!!!!!
2. Suzanne, (CLUELESS) DIDDY if you need people like this working for you all I can say is(clap,clap,clap,clap GOOD JOB YOU DESERVE THEM. Kim, I hope OPRAH pick you up babygirl cause you deserve it.
YOU R A GO_GETTER.
HATERS KEEP HATTIN
well KIM I WAS DISAPPOINTED U SHOULD HAVE RAN DOWN TO THE SIXTH FLOOR AND GET THE LIST,SOMEONE ELSE LAZY #*&S SHOULD NOT HAVE KEPT U DOWN. LIKE DIDDY SAID EXCUSES.I HOPE U CAN TALK YOUR WAY INSIDE AGAIN AND LEARN THAT JUST CAUSE YOUR BIG DOESNT REALLY MEAN SIT YOUR ~)&_^%)!*&(_#!_ DOWN. BUT YOUR THE STAR I HOPE SEASON 2 HAPPENS I WILL APPLY
I hope Kim can talk her way back into the job, when Norma told her the lady with the list was in the building I personally would have been going to get the list from her right away and checked the email confirmations later. Kim I know you are the best suited for the job but no one likes sacarsm especially your future boss (that was rude of you to say I can’t invent a list). Mike would be good for manual labor, it was terrible the way he backstabbed Kendra he showed he had no integrity. Stephanie seems clueless and does seem to rely on her looks to get ahead. I didn’t like when Stephanie referred to the new artist entourage as her “posse”. I found that term “posse” to be racist coming from Stephanie. I really hope Kim can redeem herself, she is clearly the best suited for the job.
Poprah-speak that real `~%&~_^+~#`$^*`@ girl. The only ones who even have a slight chance at making it in the game, is the one who keeps it real, especially with oneself. And if you haven’t been through anything real in life that you have had to overcome, you can’t possibly contribute to your own success, let alone Diddy. Are you serious?! Real hustler’s stand up. Life is NOT a game. Go hard or go home! Signing off from the streets to CEO.

the word keepin it “REAL” seems to be replacing manners, kindness and the golden rule -”If you don’t have anything nice to say about someone, say nothing at all.” This is common courtesy has been mastered 1st and 2nd graders already and they would be allowed do dine with Aristocracy, Intellectuals, Politicians and other people of value.
