Gas Prices Ain’t No Joke
Posted by Bossip Staff
Diddy discusses how gas prices have effected his private jet action:
Maybe Knicks point guard Stephon Marbury should have consulted Sean Combs before he bought himself a private jet. Marbury – in the last year of his Knicks contract, which will pay him another $21 million – is said to have plunked down about $45 million for the aircraft. But Combs, who already owns a jet, isn’t using it because fuel costs have skyrocketed. The hip-hop mogul explains on Diddy Blog No. 12, which he videotaped in an airline terminal before boarding a commercial flight, “Gas prices are too mother[bleep]ing high,” Combs says, wearing an off-kilter Yankees cap. “I’ve been flying back and forth to LA pursuing my acting career. If I fly back and forth twice a month, that’s like $250,000 round trip. [Bleep] that! I’m back on American Airlines now . . . and I’m in coach!”
250 stacks for a plane ride, and that’s just in gas? We would’ve said fu*k that shyte too.

I mean really. Why is it costing $250,000. This is just sad. Join the club of the regular folks struggling with the price of gas.
Damn! You know its bad when Diddy has to cut back!

“Damn! You know its bad when Diddy has to cut back!”
=====================================================
I’m Sayin…aint that some shyt! Glad i aint the only one though, lol!
goodmorning num 1
Props to Diddy for keeping it funky. Dude said “..and i’m in coach”. I hear that frugal shyt. That nigga got child support to pay. lol
GAS IZ A MUH FUKKA NO LIE!!!
“Then again, hell he could probably fuel his jet with the salaries of all the artists he has yet to pay!”
=====================================================
Or, if he aint so many gotdayum kids to support…see Diddy, that child support is a MUTHA! I bet Kim Porter doin ok, lol!

I am applauding the heck out of Puffy right now!!! For keeping it real!!!!! Way to go Puff!!!!!!!! About time one of these rappers give the world a dose of reality…

LMFAO…hell yeah. That would definately be a sight to witness.
nicca are so stupid
they will never have anything
now why does stephon needs and aircraft @45million
dam isnt there anything else that he could have think of to invest his money in – that way when his basket ball career is over ( which it will be soon) he can have something to fall back on …..
And we are supposed to feel sorry for him??? I don’t think so…….
Steph dropped 45 kilo-stacks on a jet? Holy f*ck. Meanwhile billionaire Warren Buffett drives a used Chevy and lives in a bungalow…

Its not set in stone. I am sure he could sell it back….
As much as Diddy gets on my nerves, it’s stuff like this that makes me have to respect ol’ dude. This is some funny ish! LMAO “…and I’m in coach!” LMAO He’s right about fuel prices, though. Riding around in a private jet is how idiots squander their fortunes. Instead of investing $$$ in something that will provide residual income for generations to come, MFs throwing it away in stuff that depreciates in value. SMDH
I DON’T LIKE DIDDY THIS GUY IS VERY COCKY AND ARROGANT AND TREATS PEOPLE VERY RUDELY IN A DISRESPECTFUL TONE…HE TALKS ALL THIS SHIT BUT I BET BILL GATES AND WARREN BUFFET IS NOT WORRIED ABOUT GAS PRICES..
DIDDY IS NOT EVEN AS WEALTHY AS THESE TWO MEN BUT HE TRIES TO ACT LIKE HE IS WITH HIS COCKY ATTITUDE..HE’S JUST EMBARRASSED THAT HE HAS TO FLY COMMERCIAL THAT’S WHY HE’S REVEALING THIS INFO. BUT IF YOU’RE SO RICH GAS PRICES SHOULDN’T AFFECT YOU.
What the hell is Stephon gonna do with a $45 million dollar jet??? Don’t he know that his career is just about a wrap??? I guess he hasn’t read any of the stories about Latrell Spreewell.
Steph!!! you gotta be smarter with the cake man!!!
THAT’S WHY ALL BALLPLAYERS ARE BROKE AFTER 5 YEARS OF RETIREMENT.
SMH @ Diddy for pursuing an “acting” career.
lol. Good Morning Aunt Viv
Let him live his dream.
OPRAH, BILL GATES AND WARREN BUFFET IS NOT AFFECTED BY GAS PRICES…THESE LITTLE TWO BY FOUR RAPPERS LIKE DIDDY ACTS LIKE HE’S WEALTHY ALWAYS BRAGGING BUT DON’T HAVE SHIT COMPARED TO THESE PEOPLE…
Effected? Do you idiots at Bossip mean affected?

PREACH! OK? People need to comprehend how wealthy families (who by the way often start with LESS than many of today’s entertainers) make mega-fortunes for GENERATIONS! They are not putting in 24K gold sinks and buying $1 million diamond watches and chains or grills. For those who don’t know, a gold, platinum or diamond grill is NOT an investment. Jewelry is NOT an investment. An investment is something that INCREASES in value over time. If you buy a car today for $500,000, you cannot sell that car tomorrow for that amount. Real Estate is an investment because it almost always increases in value over time. Owning stocks and bonds are investments, albeit, with risks, but that’s why you have professionals to help guide you (if you have that kind of $$, you can afford to hire an advisor).
Lemme quit. I just hate to see black folks earn and lose money over dumb shit because we don’t know how to manage money. $1 million is not going to feed you, your family and your friends for eternity. It’s probably not enough for a family of four to live on for their entire lifetime. It will help, but you won’t be ballin’ out of control with that type of money.
WELL AT LEAST HE HAS THE MONEY TO OWN A FUC*ING JET WHILE HIS BITCH ASS IS COMPLAINING..AND AS FAR AS HIM CRYING OVER THE PRICE OF GAS, HE SHOULD KEEP IS MONKEY FACE, NO TALENT, BUCK TEETH ASS OUT OF L.A. BECAUSE HE CAN’T ACT AND THE CHANCES OF HIM BEING A MOVIE STAR ARE SLIM TO NONE.

Diddy is a fool! lol, we all know he doesn’t mean this literally but at least he’s putting it out there. Shit times are hard.
Hi Z! I’ma let him do his thing girl lol!
Co-sign @ Kai I peeped that too, but have given up on Bossip’s poor command of the English language.
I guess he is learning from DASH’ mistakes. I bet Diddy is having someone wash out them socks too. LMAO
That’s the type of arrogance I’m talking about – BRAGGING. I’m the MAN type of thing. In one instance he is humbling himself to flying commercial – instead of flying on his PRIVATE JET. Give me a break and I’m sure the average starving person or even WORKING person could care less that he has to fly commercial. Welcome to reality – PLAYA
Stephon should’ve finished up his education at Georgia Tech. He is embarassingly dumb.

Why do you need to see an aircraft for sale? I didn’t see the jet he brought on the market for sale. But he brought it didn’t he? When are jets advertised? Did i miss something? Its like a BMW. You don’t see BMW commercials bc ppl know the name and know what its for. You just go get one. If he tried to sell it back, even to the manufacturer…I am sure he will not lose that much money. Its not big deal. I am not saying his choice is smart, but its really not that serious.

My response was to go to this post. My bad.
I doubt if this siddity negro is sittin up in coach…puhleez!
First to hell with the Knicks Organization for even paying Stephan that kind of money for what…cry baby a$$.
Second damn Sean save your money.
He has nothing to prove to anyone and with 75 kids he needs to keep that jet on the tar mat.
opps: damn right Sean
and as usual black people spend waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much money.
smh
a jet in this economy.
This is a classic example of one who comes from poverty to riches, and loses pragmatics. Does he really need a private aircraft? He should hook up with John Travolta, who leases his plane(s) to other celebs, and probably pilots the plane too, being that he is a licensed pilot. I don’t hear complaints from Brad Pitt or George Clooney.
He needs to read “The Little Black Book of White Secrets”. Then he would know how to handle this dilemma.
@ Girlfriday
Thank you
Smart move by Diddy. Steph doesn’t have Diddy money. I see him on one of those “When the Checks…” Blogs any day now.
yeah…giving this some more thought, Steph made a real bad moves. His shoes aren’t selling like that. He doesn’t have many endorsements mainly because he’s not a real charismatic, likeable dude. His career is bout up. The Knicks might buy him out, and no one is going to give him 20 Mil a year. I really don’t know how his portfolio looks, but I’m willing to bet he can’t really afford that damn jet. Stupid ass.
Great. Now normal people can’t even ride a plane without the risk of some kind of violent outburst breaking out from this ghetto ignoramus and his “entourage” of apes. Why can’t he just hitch a ride on some celebrity friend’s private jet?
Why do you need to see an aircraft for sale? I didn’t see the jet he brought on the market for sale. But he brought it didn’t he? When are jets advertised? Did i miss something? Its like a BMW.

Hey Dumb ass diddy, you were never wealthy enough to do the things you were doing in the first place. A, Duh!!! You wish you were, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Carlos Slim Helu, Paul Allen and host of real billionares. The are not sweating the price of gas. They must look down on you like a peon poser that you really are.

If you say so. You don’t know anything about his finances, or the elite options you have when you that kind of money. You are judging champagne taste when you only have beer pockets. YOU GET A GRIP!
When I read this, I was thinking maybe he could used 1% percent of that money to open up a school in Africa like Oprah did. Go figure.
Why in the hell does rock-head Marbury need a jet??
@Kai…
you’re talking about bossip when you’re making the same mistake:
it MIMOSA, not MOMOSA….
smh….
Ya’ll can talk about Diddy all you want but he ain’t no FOOL! He’s keeping his paper for a rainy day.
IM FROM CALI THA YAY AREA AND GAS FOR MY 350 V8 IS 4.30 A GALLON GAS AINT NO JOKE MY CAR EAT BETTA THAN ME
http://www.myspace.com/thagrindaholic
FOEVER GRINDIN
NEWSFLASH!!!!! Marbury is an idiot!
Good morning all,
Its 5:45 am and i just woke up long enough to take a sh*t and comment, sorry I havent been on Bossip in awhile because the topics were boring.
Diddy aint flying coach.
Stephon didnt buy a $45 million dollar jet, he leased the sh*t with flight options.
It cost about $100,000 to fly from LA to NY twice a month.
Yeah Diddy is not lying and with all those children he has, he is definitely feeling THE PINCH which is roughly over the amount he pays for in gas for his jet. Might as well fly our favorite airline. Besides, most celebs in all industries including sports ride coach anyway. I see this while riding business/1 class courtesy of my employer all the time.
You know the Republicans Fu’ed up when they started pissing off the rich. There are a lot of celebs who are realizing that they are not as rich as they thought they were.
Not that I am on a high horse but some times I sit there and wonder “who is the celebrity now CHUMP(S)?”. I knew it was just a matter of time before the wealthy start complaining about what everyone else has been complaining about since 2002.
I just want to thank GOD and Clarke Howard from Channel 2 news for helping me to become more frugal as well as being competent enough to learn from the rich man’s mistakes. THANK YOU!
Hey 6am. We miss ya. Now go get some shut eye.
Great. Now normal people can’t even ride a plane without the risk of some kind of violent outburst breaking out from this ghetto ignoramus and his “entourage” of apes. Why can’t he just hitch a ride on some celebrity friend’s private jet?
AMEN!
@Z
still talking (shit)
poor thang
Ya’ll can talk about Diddy all you want but he ain’t no FOOL! He’s keeping his paper for a rainy day.
________________
rainy day = someone might sue his ass for child support (lol) so is better stay on top of things
save that paper ** just in case**
@ Pussy
yeah…nice comeback.
I bet Diddy would spend that much on a piece of jewelry though
Diddy is stupid as fuck no talents rat shit…get a fuckin life and look after ur kidz…as for 45 million-get da fuck out. i wud be set for life.. Investment ppl-shiiiiiiiiitttttttt!!!
Just goes to show no matter how much money you may have, everyone has limitations.
F*ck Diddy!..who cares??! WE GOT MUCH BIGGER issues than his jet getting fueled! Sell it bi*ch azz ! Now that’s some BI%*H ASSEDNSS! BOY, he a punk azz, complaining bout his jet costs to fly to LA for “supposedly” acting gigs? I don’t mean to get political, but you got folks that can barely fill up they Honda to make it to work weekly!? (SIGH) invest some of your stacks in alternative fuel..while your hyprocrting azz talking about “rock the vote”! vote or die!” Fake azz! no more Sean John for me. He needs to stop whining…!
Diddy kicked me in the back of my seat in coach and is stingy with the pretzels. Give up the pretzels homie!
i know that’s right! way to keep it real and front like dem other bustas
between this and him being an active daddy and rocking the grown up steelo i’m loving him.
we in a recession…they betta know it…lol
Realest shit I ever heard Diddy say!!!
***********
Now whoever said this is a dumb azz! REAL would be to get rid of the darn thing! Sell it and invest that money! REAL would be to focus on more positive solutions for the problem ! Invest and campaign for alternative forms of energy as other countries have done! USE YOU MONEY AND CELEBRITY TO Invest in the future of your children who may not be able to OWN a jet that is fueled by gas.. IN 2020! Diddy is silly and immature! he is what?? ..38 or 39 years old and he still acts and thinks like a hip hop kid! Come with something different Mr. Combs.
[Bleep] that! I’m back on American Airlines now . . . and I’m in coach!”
—————————————————
Puff Daddy in Coach??? LAWD its gon rain catz n dogz aint this bout some bitchassness…
I know that’s right, Diddy! Keep it real instead of keeping it stupid and ending up broke like Damon “I-only-wear-socks-and-undershirts-once” Dash.
My man said he’s even flying coach. LOL! That’s about as real as real gets. I wouldn’t fly first class to make airline execs rich neither.
“Puff Daddy in Coach??? LAWD its gon rain catz n dogz aint this bout some bitchassness…”
—————
That is too damn funny, but I wouldn’t consider this bitchassness. I would consider this realizing we’re in a recession and playing it smart.
>>>>>>>>>>>>> DIDDY is an ANIMAL!!!!!<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Marbury saw some serious cake from those $15 kicks
Warren Buffet is not as frugal as you think He’s got a G-5,with a G-6 on order and while he’s no John McCain he’s a got number of homes.
Marbury career is coming to an end. The knicks are about to get rid of him because of his antics and poor stats. The percentage of athletes who go broke after retirement is over 50%. Marbury is a fool for buying a jet.
Buffett is worth over 44 billion dollars. Saying he has a number of homes is laughable. He has no choice, because he needs to have some of his money tied up in investments and he owns NetJets.
WELL!!!! Diddy FINALLY get’s some cool points from me because @ least he aint too proud to be honest!!! There are some stars (that would rather DIE than to admit that their pockets are being slaughtered by this economy!!!!
Stars are starting to realize they went as far as they can go with the “bling bling” era and now it’s time to bring it back down to normal.
I believe my generation of hip-hop listeners that went to school like good girls and boys, got an education and make decent salaries (45k or better a year) and are STRUGGLING are starting to feel MOCKED by these rappers when they talk about how rich they are!!! ESPECIALLY because most of them aren’t as rich as they are putting on!!!! Some of these stars don’t even have enough LIQUID asset to match what most of us had in our 401k after 5 years!!!!
Time to break the facad and keep it REAL!!!!
There are people in Orange County, one of the richest counties in the country that are having their homes foreclosed!!!!
Shits crazy….TIME FOR CHANGE!!!!
That’s good that no matter how much money that he makes, he’s sensible with his decisions..Good for him…
Diddy’s hilarious. Did anybody see him chew Aubrey out yesterday on MTB?
Diddy puffy puff daddy bamma whatever

LoL @ Puff. Riding coach even… that ish is hilarious. If it’s true, I love the way he’s keeping it real. Besides, he has to be very aware of his duckets and where they’re being spent, since all dem babies’ mommas gotta get paid too!!! LOL!
LMAO @ Puffy riding coach…..
this is how i know FOR SURELY we are in living in hell. perilous times folks.
even when some of the celebrities cant do what they are doing anymore. we have officially hit rock bottom.
ANOTHER REASON to vote for Barack Obama
@Z
u look broke! u probably never even been on a PLANE, much less know anything about jets, wit yo 4 eyed ass! go get some new teeth!
Yeah I feel Diddy on being in coach. When I was on the way back from Cali to the A, this local wack ass rapper was sitting in front of me with his CZ studded slave broach on. I guess this mofo was mad that he could not afford to sit in 1st class, so him and a member of his entourage were being boisterous and obnoxious the whole ride. Mind you it was a late flight so most of us were sleep and quit, but of course those show monkeys had to be up laughing at the top of their lungs, clapping their hands, and watching a hood dvd with no headsets on.
Finally, the lady and her daughter said something to them politely, and Mr. Wack Rapper had to jump bad on them. Then I had to say something to him because he was out the pocket for what he was saying. Then I became a faggot, bitch, and a hoe, for sticking up for the “white women”. I guess because I am black I had to cosign on his ignorance. I wanted to get in his sorry ass but then I didn’t want to get on his level. We asked if the assholes could be moved but of course the fligt attendants were too scared to do anything, but they kept bringing those mofo’s drinks. WTF?
I Don’t to much care for Diddy but the man is not half as broke as you think! All his money is not from hip-hop ghetto music as some sidity-ass person stated before. HIs restaraunt chains are still expanding he even has a Justin in Paris. He is doing stageplays, mangering his OWN label, has a few colonges to his belt and trust that Diddy is getting cash from MTV or VH1 whoever does these mtb show.The man is very smart when it comes to his finance and pays good cash for a FINACIAL ADVISOR to make sure he is inverting. PEOPLE PLEASE STOP THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX!!!!!
TYPO-INVESTING
This is why Puff will always be wealthy. He knows when to slow his roll and humble himself.
You’re right, Diddy. Those would be waaay too many stacks to blow on that joke you call an ‘acting career.’
That n!cca is looking more and more like an insect everyday. Like an African cockroach or some shit.
250 stacks for two round-trip flights?? What the fu*k is he flying in, the International Space Station?
Nigga you’ll spend $10..$20 GRAND in a nightclub n ONE NIGHT poppin’ champagne bottles, but you trippin’ about $250k in a month to travel???
How about this? how about flying that jet to go create some business opportunities to offset that shit instead of having a jet just to fucking HAVE one??? You know..stuntin’ purposes?
ROI Diddy, ROI…
