*Sean ?Diddy? Combs is backing up claims to support young
entrepreneurs with a $100,000 donation to help fund startup businesses
for urban youth across the country, reports Allhiphop.com .

The rap mogul was honored on Feb. 13 during the 2011 Annual
Bryan-Michael Cox Pre-Grammy Brunch at the Four Seasons hotel in Beverly
Hills, California. The annual event was organized by Cox, SESAC and
100 Urban Entrepreneurs, a non-profit organization dedicated to serving
urban youth and developing future business leaders.

Diddy was so moved by the stories of the budding moguls in the 100
Urban Entrepreneurs program that he has personally committed $100,000 to
the non-profit organization.

??Puff challenged me early on by asking, Son, do you know how hot you
really are? I walked away wanting to make even greater music,? Cox
said. ?Minorities are fundamentally at a disadvantage because many lack
the access to financial resources and mentoring opportunities to start
sustainable businesses.?
