[QUOTE="HotNewHipHop, post: 43539, member: 83"] Chris Brown may be one of the most successful R&B stars of the century, but not everyone believed in his star power at first. In a recent interview on the [I]Drink Champs[/I] podcast, the 33-year-old star spoke about how Diddy turned him down from Bad Boy when he was much younger. "The funniest part- a lot of people don't really know this- but Diddy turned me down," said Brown. N.O.R.E. was eager to talk about it, asking the Virginia native if he danced for Diddy, too. "If you danced, he definitely would've signed you," joked N.O.R.E.
