Diddy -- The Shmoney Dance Is Just Like My Diddy Bop ... And I Love It!

Bobby Shmurda's "Shmoney Dance" is the biggest thing around right now, and even though Diddy feels it bears a resemblance to his dance moves that have been around for years ... he is loving every second of it.

Diddy tells TMZ his Diddy Bop came along well before Shmurda's moves, but he's not angry about it ... not in the slightest. Diddy tells TMZ, "I've been Diddy Boppin' since I was a kid in Harlem. It’s a pleasure seeing these young guns continuing the movement."
