Hip hop artist. Actor. Entrepreneur. Now, “charter school founder” can be added to the list of labels used to describe Sean Combs, who at various stages in his career has gone by Diddy, P. Diddy, Puff Daddy and Puffy.

The New York Times reports that Combs will open the Capital Prep Harlem in the fall. The school will use the successful education model used by Capital Preparatory Magnet, a Hartford, Conn., school. Capital Preparatory Magnet founder, Steve Perry, will oversee the Harlem school, though not as principal.
