In 1997, Combs shifted focus to his own music career, releasing the debut single “Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Later that year, he released his first studio album, No Way Out, under the stage name Puff Daddy. The album achieved immense commercial success and included the tribute track “I’ll Be Missing You,” dedicated to The Notorious B.I.G., who had been murdered earlier that year. The song made history as the first rap track to debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Combs won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album in 1998 for No Way Out.
In 1999, Combs released his second album, which peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 chart. That same year, he became embroiled in legal controversy when a nightclub shooting incident involving his then-girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez, led to allegations of weapon possession. Although charges against him were eventually dropped, the episode garnered significant media attention.
