Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs to receive 2020 grammy salute to Industry Icons Award

Sean “Diddy” Combs, the hip-hop mogul and pioneering, chart-topping rap artist, will be honored with the 2020 Grammy Salute to Industry Icons award during the annual pre-Grammys party next month.

Combs will be feted during the pre-Grammy Gala on Saturday, Jan. 25, 2020, the evening prior to the 62nd annual Grammy Awards.

“It’s personally so gratifying that Sean ‘Puffy’ Combs is this year’s icon. He fully deserves this wonderful recognition,” said Clive Davis, co-host of the pre-Grammy Gala. “From his past innovative and creative contributions right from the very inception of the hip hop revolution, to his many memorable appearances at the pre-Grammy Gala as both speaker and performer, it’s all come full circle. I couldn’t be happier for Sean as a dear friend and colleague.”
