Sean "Diddy" Combs said, "The concept of "Black on Black" in this story represents a level of strength, a level of beauty, a level of sexy and chic that I really want to portray. It's the future. And it's not just a race thing; it's almost a redefinition of the color. Think about how ignorant people actually make the color black represent something negative. Black is so beautiful, I see it in everything I am, as a person, as a man, as a fashion professional. Black is beautiful."
