To help produce a suitable invitation, he called upon such Puffy pals as Oprah Winfrey, CHRIS ROCK, Ben Stiller, ELLEN DEGENERES, SAMMY SOSA, Magic Johnson, Tommy Hilfiger, Will Smith, MARIAH CAREY and many others who no doubt saw the merit in assisting one of the decade's most successful music producers.
