When Diddy's Running Late, He Gets A Police Escort

2011_04_diddy.jpg Diddy, aka Puff Daddy, P.Diddy and Sean Combs, managed to get $75,000 for hosting his post-Hammerstein Ballroom show party at 4Sixty6 in West Orange, NJ last week. The deal was supposed to have included a helicopter ride from New York to the Garden State, but the pesky FAA didn't grant him permission in time. So Diddy got the next best thing: A NYPD and NJ cop escort.

Page Six's sources confirmed the details, "Diddy heard his helicopter had not been cleared for landing, and said he wouldn't go to Jersey if he couldn't get there on time. His team spoke to the police, and he was driven -- like a head of state -- in his Bentley with three SUVs in a convoy, with two police cars in front, lights flashing, and another behind." And Diddy's friend, who owns a "high-end couture dry-cleaning service," said he helped, "This happened last-minute. I organized the police escort through my contacts. There were three squad cars with the lights flashing. I went along also. We were at the club in New Jersey within 15 minutes." Wow, we bet he can get Diddy's tickets fixed too.

Also, 466 bills itself as "NJ's Vegas."

  • If he paid for the escort all is well.

    Ray Kelly licks the butt of P. Diddy...yuck!

  • FU Boy

    Well, not only is he a celebrity, but also a wealthy entrepreneur. So by US standards, he's royalty. Not a surprise, really.

    Surely we cannot, as a nation, risk the well being of such an outstanding citizen...

  • FU Boy

    Certainly not! Where would we be if the moguls of culture and style couldn't make it to their Galas and Fetes? All American culture would collapse!

  • Spirit of 76

    Go ahead and give him an escort. Then make sure he gets a hefty bill for the services. He can afford it.

  • armchair_warrior

    tax dollars hard at work.

  • Inconcievable de Impublishable

    Don't kid yourself, that man PAYS a lot of taxes in NY. A little extra service for a one-man economic engine isn't too much to ask, is it?
