A reader sent over this photo of what appears to be Diddy's sweet ride, complete with a red carpet so the diamonds on the sole's of his shoes don't touch the dirty concrete of New York City. The tipster tells us: more ›

Remember Y2K? And that sick eight hour Phish set at the Big Cypress? And that time J.Lo wore this dress? Those things were so long ago! And so was that time in 1999 when Diddy (then going by Puff Daddy) and his entourage were involved in a shoot up at the now defunct Club New York in Times Square. You know, the one that J.Lo may or may not have witnessed. Well, the lawsuits that stemmed from the incident have only just been settled. more ›

There's more furor over the NYPD escort that rapper-entrepreneur Sean Combs received last week when in a hurry to travel from the Hammerstein Ballroom to a post-Dirty Diddy Money concert party in New Jersey. A former Midtown South cop was shocked that Combs/ Diddy/ P.Diddy/ Puff Daddy could have gotten such a pass, referring to the infamous 1999 shooting incident at a Manhattan nightclub, "After how he treated cops the night he was arrested in Club New York, no one should have helped him cross the street, let alone get a police escort." more ›

Diddy—aka Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Sean Combs—has previously run the city (in a marathon) but now city officials are embarrassed that the rap entrepreneur got some sort of NYPD assistance to rush from the Hammerstein Ballroom to his NJ post-concert party last week. The NYPD basically admitted it (see its hedging below) and Mayor Bloomberg said, "The bottom line is the police department should treat everybody exactly the same. If you don't get a police escort, P. Diddy shouldn't." more ›

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. more ›

A couple of weeks ago, Diddy's PR blitz took a turn for the worse when a model sitting in a bathtub managed to set her hair on fire at his album launch party. But Diddy, always the gentleman, is now planning on paying for her hair repair! TMZ reports that he called the model, Miyoki Jones, after the party to see how she was doing, and promised to foot the bill no matter what. Even if it costs $1,000, which TMZ estimates it will. more ›

After 17 years of living with guilt, Trevell Coleman, better known as rapper G-Dep, walked into the 25th Precinct on Wednesday and admitted to fatally shooting a man outside of an East Harlem housing project almost two decades ago. The victim was John Henkel, a Queens man whom Coleman attempted to rob on the night of October 19th, 1993. "It was just eating away at him," said one police source. more ›

Yesterday, rapper Diddy and a crew of savvy PR folk took over a few subway stations with signs and conductors to promote his new album, Last Train to Paris. Because what could make you want to buy an album more than people in costumes yelling at you during your morning commute? The MTA took down the magnetic signs yesterday morning, but one new rider was mildly concerned! One tourist said, "It could definitely mess me up. It's my first time in the subway. Paris could be a part of the city." And there could be only one train left. more ›

Diddy recently lured Justin Bieber (who is in NYC OMG!!!) into his studio with an ugly varsity jacket, and then made him promote his new album in front of the cameras (enough, Diddy, enough). But at least Bieber got a lesson on how to properly walk in New York City. Diddy tells him, "When we walk down the streets of New York... late at night.. after the Usher concert, we're in the street in Times Square... we go SWAG" [and then he does a hand gesture for "pushing the hate back"]. That's a pretty slow pace for New York, hopefully there's a swag lane for this kind of behavior. more ›

The owner of Georgi Vodka, multi-millionaire Martin Silver, was not very happy when Sean "Diddy" Combs took the mic at a nightclub in NYC last week and declared, "If you're not drinking Ciroc vodka, then you're drinking pee pee." more ›

Sean "Diddy" Combs, having dodged his fake wife in East Hampton, is headed to Brooklyn. And he's making such a big deal about it! The rapper will be hosting a party in the borough on Tuesday night for Notorious B.I.G. on the 13th anniversary of his death (he's also trying to make March 9th "Biggie Day"). Brokelyn reports the invite-only extravaganza will be held at the Lab, a Bed-Stuy club. Diddy told MTV News, “I’m going to Brooklyn. It’s gonna be the first time I’m throwing a party in Brooklyn. I’m from Harlem. Everybody in Harlem knows you don’t usually go over the bridge to Brooklyn. It’s a big, big deal.” more ›

Diddy better not drink too much Ciroc lest he wake up next to his fake wife and real life stalker. According to 1010Wins, a 35-year-old woman claiming to be his wife (he's not married) was arrested after she attempted to visit his East Hampton house twice. more ›

Do these two things look the same to you? Glassblower Tom Patti filed suit against Sean "Diddy" Combs last year for copyright infringement, claiming Combs stole the design for his Unforgivable fragrance bottle from his 1981 glass piece. The 65-year-old explained, "Everywhere I went, people started congratulating me on the success of my fragrance container. I didn't know what they were talking about. Eventually, I realized that Combs had replicated my work." more ›

Do not mess with Diddy's store frontage: The company behind the rap impresario-vodka shiller's Sean John clothing line is suing its landlord at 475 Fifth Avenue over scaffolding that has been up since 2006. more ›

Are you tired of hearing about New Year's Eve yet? The Daily News reports on another little corner of the celebration, where some overachieving high school seniors will aid Mayor Bloomberg in dropping the ball tomorrow. Bill and Hillary Clinton helped him out last year, and often celebrities are invited — but this year it's all about the kids. Karnisa Aya, a student government president at the High School for American Studies at Lehman College in the Bronx, told the paper, "It's still sort of surreal. I think it will be pretty cold, but it will be a really fun time. The fact that we get to meet the mayor is pretty cool too." She was chosen through a system where principals from twelve public schools made a list of top students. more ›

Uh oh, what did Diddy do now. The rapper accidentally tossed one of his diamond rings into a crowd while performing for BET's 106 & Park show (filmed on 57th Street), and ended the performance with a frisking of audience members! The Post reports that attendees were treated "like common criminals" once the cameras cut — and they took their grievances to Twitter to kill time, one saying: "Ok diddy lost his ring... and now there frisking all the kids like this is Rikers lite." more ›

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. more ›

Was your New Year's resolution to forget about Diddy in 2009? If so, God bless and we're sorry. Diddy is making sure the Bad Boy brand is coming strong into the new year by bombarding the town with attention-grabbing gimmicks for him and the vodka he's the sponsor for. First he announced that they'll be passing out $15 debit cards in Chelsea and Times Square just before midnight that can be redeemed in cab rides home because as Diddy says, "a sophisticated holiday celebration doesn't just end when the ball drops, but when everyone gets home safely." And if that's not enough, Diddy and the vodka brand are offering $1 million to the city to "take over the New Year's ball." Because when you're Diddy, you can just do things like that, right? On the takeover, Diddy said, "I'm going to give every adult in America a taste of what it's like to enjoy a sophisticated celebration with Diddy, and what better time than while ringing in the New Year." Earlier in 2008, Diddy made headlines for stepping in dog poo. more ›

Unless Ashton Kutcher is punking the media again, it appears Jay-Z and Beyoncé may be getting married after all. more ›

Last week's LA Times article about the Tupac shooting of 1994 (occurring just two years before his murder), led to a lot of chatter about the rapper's death and those who may have been involved. The finger was now being pointed at Sean "Diddy" Combs, who maintained he was not involved. more ›

Though the mystery has never been solved, many have attached Sean "Diddy" Combs and Christopher Wallace (Biggie Smalls/The Notorious B.I.G.) to the 1994 attack and 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur -- sparking an East Coast/West Coast rap war, leading to Biggie's 1997 murder and escalating the "no snitching" policy into law. The accusation even came from Tupac himself after the attack in 1994. more ›

Anyone looking for closure in the Diddy SoHo slapfest case, look no further. Reports are that prosecutors aren't pursuing criminal charges against Mr. Combs anymore because "Stephen Acevedo appeared to stop cooperating with police - after accusing the rap star of sucker-punching him inside the exclusive SoHo club on Oct. 13 after the two quarreled over women." Of course, Acevedo's lawyer says he is taking the "high road" and declining to talk further about the... more ›
