Fonzworth Bentley, born Derek Watkins, is a multifaceted entertainer known for his work as a musician, author, and TV personality. After rising to fame as Sean “Diddy” Combs’ personal assistant and appearing in music videos, he has continued to work in the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n

Derek Watkins, better known as Fonzworth Bentley, gained initial fame in the early 2000s as the impeccably dressed personal assistant to hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. His unique style and persona quickly made him a recognizable figure, particularly after his appearances in music videos like OutKast’s “The Way You Move” and P. Diddy’s “I Need a Girl (Part Two).”<\/p>\n

Bentley’s career expanded beyond his assistant role as he ventured into music, releasing his own single, “Everybody,” which featured Kanye West and Andr\u00e9 3000. He also authored a book, “Advance Your Swagger: How to Use Manners, Confidence, and Style to Get Ahead,” which aimed to provide guidance on manners and personal style.<\/p>\n

In television, Bentley hosted MTV’s “From G’s to Gents,” a reality show that focused on transforming rough-edged men into gentlemen. His presence on television also included appearances on other shows and music-related projects.<\/p>\n
