P. Diddy - Too Much Influence on 'Notorious'?

I remember seeing an interview with P. Diddy awhile back, and what bugged me was that while he was trying to praise his slain friend Biggie, everything he said sounded like it was actually praise for himself.

"I had the amazing insight to recognize his talent..."

"I knew that I could take Biggie under my wing, and mold him into a superstar..."

Well, that's kind of what this movie felt like. P. Diddy was the executive producer on this, and it seems that at every turn, P. Diddy the character is saying all the right things, doing all the right things, passing down these gems of wisdom ("Don't chase the paper, chase the dream!" "We can change the world, but first we got to change ourselves!"). He was always calming Biggie down, after Tupac blamed them for his shooting, over his diss on Tupac later, over his outburst at Faith. And the part about Biggie's first album, from the quotes section: "That sh*t just clicked. Puffy gave it that gloss... he took that track from one hundred percent to two hundred percent."

So I don't know how much is really true, it could be that it all actually happened just like that. I just wish he hadn't had such an influential position on the film and was just a consultant, so that the filmmakers could hear his story as well as others', and then decided what was what. As it stands now, his character seems just a little too good to be true.
