After numerous years in the entertainment industry, Walter Latham has orchestrated countless high end business deals with celebrities ranging from Pamela Anderson, Chris Tucker, Robin Williams, and Whoopi Goldberg. However, none of these affairs compare to his tumultuous relationship with Hip Hop and fashion entrepreneur Sean P. Diddy Combs.

After making a name for his company and urban comedy, Latham became the hottest commodity in the live stand up comedy and film industry.  Countless studios and businesses execs relished at the idea of him sharing his expertise, including P. Diddy himself.

As a means of breaking into the comedy realm, Combs sought after Latham to partner the hugely successful P. Diddy Presents: The Bad Boys of Comedy, sponsored by Diageo, who later inked a deal for the representation of Combs for their popular alcoholic beverage, Ciroc.

The benefits of the collaboration were plentiful, airing two seasons on HBO and subsequently selling out theaters across the nation, Bad Boys of Comedy achieved the success both Latham and Combs expected.

However, the road to victory was long and plagued with disagreements between the two CEO’s.  Each businessman, both thriving in their own right, possessed an innate gift to lead and a mind to produce creative projects.

By working closely with Combs for almost two years, Latham was able to witness the price many celebrities pay for their careers and ultimately developed a new attitude, “I will produce great television and be the best entrepreneur, but you can keep the fame” states Latham.
