Moldova.ORG -- Combs has changed his alias several times Rap star Sean Combs has been asked in court to remove his alias "Diddy" from websites after an earlier settlement with a musician known by the same name, according to BBC news.

The rapper settled out of court with Richard "Diddy" Dearlove last year, agreeing not to use the name in the UK.

Mr Dearlove's lawyer, Iain Purvis QC, told London's High Court that Mr Combs had made changes to two of his websites but "Diddy" was still used on others.

He said Mr Combs had refused to make changes to sites not under his control.

"We want him either to use a neutral name like P Diddy or to shut them down," he said.

Mr Dearlove, best known for his remix of the Blondie hit Atomic, has traded under the name "Diddy" since 1992.

The 41-year-old wants Mr Combs to erase "Diddy" from sites including YouTube and MySpace.

Mr Purvis said it could be difficult for Mr Combs to do this but that it was his responsibility.

"What we say is he has given these undertakings and it is up to him to make sure they are complied with."
