Did Diddy Bring the Heat to Birthday Party?

Following Monday night's Knicks game, Sean Combs was set to co-host a party with Kobe Bryant in honor of someone named DJ Clue's birthday...but Diddy never entered the club (M2 on West 28th Street). The NY Post reports that the rapper/entrepreneur/Vodka salesman wasn't a no-show, he was simply scared off by the NYPD's undercover gun detail set up to search every guest (those guys are always a buzz kill). They report that "a witness said he 'flipped out' when cops asked to search him and his friends." After one member of his entourage ducked back to the car, Diddy and the others "stormed off" and decided not to attend. Not suspicious at all! Especially when you already have a history of maybe opening fire in a club.

In addition to being a rapper/entrepreneur/designer/whatever, he's a trend-setter. All men should wear his newest scent "I am LeRoy".

Clown pays magazines to write articles about himself. Unbelievable.

nice job

"someone named DJ Clue"

Geez, I don't really listen to that type of music and even I know who DJ Clue is. Where were you in the late 90s?

if they were checking everyone - i don't think they were undercover... maybe plain-clothed

This is a serious legal question: wouldn't fleeing from a police checkpoint be enough probable cause for searching him and his entourage?

NannyState

Maybe he fled 'cause he needed to change out of his sweatpants.

Feel, feel, feel, feel, feeeeeel....feel the heat!

i wouldn't want to be searched by these cops either.

He needs to make up his mind. Is he gangsta or not? Real gangstas don't get scared off by the man.

thank goodness I don't frequent these places.

I have absolutely no idea why my comment (about Mr. Sean Combs) is posted under your comment. This is the second time that this has happened. Hate the new super slow comment format...
