Diddy is a multifaceted business mogul, renowned producer, and iconic figure in hip-hop music. He also played a mentoring role for the legendary rapper, Biggie Smalls. Notably, Diddy’s net worth is estimated to be $1 billion, according to Forbes. However, it seems that Diddy is eager to add another skill to his repertoire: an improved jumpshot on the basketball court.
The rapper has taken the initiative to enhance his basketball skills and has enlisted the services of a professional basketball coach. Diddy is now under the guidance of Chris Matthews, known as “lethalshooter,” a highly regarded shooting coach who has trained numerous NBA stars.
Despite his usual braggadocious demeanor, Diddy approaches his basketball game with humility, acknowledging that there is room for improvement.

Recently, Diddy and Matthews shared a video from one of their shooting workouts, which took place during Diddy’s birthday weekend. In the video, Diddy can be seen making several short-range jumpers, although he also missed a few shots. His footwork and follow-through appeared to be improving with the coaching.
Chris Matthews, or lethalshooter, has garnered fame for his expertise as a shooting coach, working with both NBA and WNBA stars. His impressive list of clients includes notable athletes such as Dwight Howard, Anthony Davis, Candace Parker, and Skylar Diggins-Smith. He has specialized in the art of shooting and has helped aspiring young players and elite-level athletes refine their shooting skills.
Matthews has carved a niche for himself in the world of basketball coaching, with a particular focus on shooting. It’s possible that he may explore opportunities to join an NBA coaching staff in the future, given his expertise in this area.
And not limited to athletes, Matthews has also lent his coaching skills to music artists like Diddy. Diddy is not the only rapper he has worked with, as he has previously worked on shooting techniques with Chicago-based artist Chance the Rapper.
With Chris Matthews’ guidance and expertise, Diddy is taking steps to improve his jumpshot, and if anyone can help him achieve this, it’s certainly Matthews.
