Diddy Justin Maybach

Diddy graces the latest issue of VIBE Magazine and inside the magazine he airs out his qualms with Martin Bashir over his Nightline interview.

In his interview with VIBE Diddy says he felt Bashir was out of line for questioning him about gifting 16-year-old son Justin a near $400,000 Maybach:

There were times in the interview when I had to give him an ultimatum. The questions weren’t being handled the right way. In hindsight, when I saw him I shouldn’t had done the interview because I know the style of interview that he does . . . The whole thing about giving a Maybach to my son, that’s really like a racist question. You don’t ask White people what they buy their kids. And they buy ‘em Porsches and convertible Bentleys and it ain’t no question. It’s really a racist question and put things back in perspective with money and the way that people still look at you. And I’m not saying that consciously he’s a racist. But he probably don’t even realize that he would not ask Steve Jobs that. He would be like Steve Jobs has that money and that’s the gift his kid is supposed to get.

We’re not sure about that one, but one thing we can agree with Diddy on is the fact that he shouldn’t have sat down with Bashir in the first place.

He definitely came off like a sucker in that one… but then again, maybe Bashir just showed his true colors.

Do you agree that it was racist for Martin Bashir to ask Diddy about giving Justin a Maybach? Is Diddy right that Bashir wouldn’t have asked Steve Jobs the same question?

Last time we checked Steve Jobs wasn’t crowning his kid Prince of Palo Alto, putting him on MTV or sending him on dates with Nicki Minaj.

Just sayin’.

  • Richard

    Diddy is an ignorant, fool with a backwards ghetto mentality. He thinks writing a check is being a good father but it is men like him who have destroyed the black family because all he thinks about is himself and having a good time partying it up. How can he give all those children by different women living in different households daily guidance as a father when they are not with him. He is stupid and a disgrace. He is exactly the kind of man, I mean boy that president Obama was speaking against.

  • Martinigal

  • jswang

    I don’t think he’s crying but he has a point. That reporter woudn’t have asked any white person of that stature that same question. If Diddy wants to buy his son that car that’s his business.

  • No Surprise

    This reaction from Diddy is typical of black men of his low caliber. Anytime someone tells them the truth or says something that makes them uncomfortable they call it racist.

  • LaDiva

    Smh so when someone doesn’t agree with u, they are racist. Lol Diddy just do u like u always do. Spend your money how u want to spend it. God bless.

  • Sha

    When showing off comes back to bite you in the a$$.

    If he puts himself out there like that what does he expect?

    I agree Richard…

  • Stan

    Didn’t his son who apparently has more sense than the father turn around an donate that car to charity? Did it ever occur to Diddy that a young boy driving around in a car like that would be a target for high jacketing, getting kidnapped and murdered. He can give his son a car, just use common sense about it.

  • j

    I actually agree with Diddy on this one. It was a bit judgmental and could be seen as one sided. If he asks others how they spend their money on their kids then maybe not but Bashir knew that he was trying to question Diddy’s mentality. I say No Fair! Diddy is right, I don’t see anyone all these socialite kids families why they spoil those kids rotten.

  • MONIQUE

    Rick Hilton brought his son an very expensive car you don’t hear it being reported.I don’t care for this clown,but it’s his MONEY

  • Chitown

    Diddy Combs is all about the FLASH. His father was a big time drug dealer who was killed when Diddy was young so the apple didn’t fall from the tree. Diddy is all about “ALL EYES ON ME”.

  • Nicky

    Ditto to Richard comments. Then again it’s his money smh.

  • Glok…. Good Golly Miss Molly!

    DIDDY POPS DIED CUZ HIS AZZ WAS A GOVERMENT SNITCH ..PPL IN HARLEM REMEMBER HIS PUNK AS POPS!

    @Chitown

    I concur….
    He’s always been that way…& if u got it like dat den spend it like dat…u can’t take it wit ya win u check out…

    DIDDY YOU NEED TO TELL YOUR MOMMA THE WHITE MAN TREATING YOU LIKE CHIT ,..SHE, JANET KNOW HOW TO PLZ MASTER,…SHE’LL PUT IN THEM BABY BLUES AND BLOND WIG AND SUK ALL THEY TROUBLES DOWN HER DRAIN…!

  • VENOM

    STEVE JOBS OR BILL GATES WOULDN’T HAVE PUT IT ON MTV FOR BASHIR AND THE REST OF THE HATERS TO SEE. WHAT HATERS DON’T SEE CAN’T HURT YOU. IM A PHANTOM. I MAKE MORE MONEY ALONE THAN WITH PEOPLE AROUND. PEOPLE ARE SLIME. LOL

  • http://todhd.com Online TV

    I think Diddy is free to spend his money on whatever he wants to spend his money on.

  • tg

    Well in reality – I’m sure no one would think about asking Mr. Hilton, why he brought Paris a Porsche for her 16th B’day. So I can see what Diddy is trying to say. But when we say things like he is saying – people ALWAYS flip it back on us and accuse us of thinking everything is a racist conspiracy against us. But, keeping it real, almost everything is racist against black people. If you can’t see black people are being held to different standards, you must be blind. Everything in the media, news, BET, etc. etc. exploits us. Not to mention, we are STEREOTYPED to NO FREAKING END. It’s CRAZY.

  • SKITTLES

    I AGREE WITH DIDDY IT AINT NOBODY BIZZ WHAT HE BUY FOR HIS KIDS IT HIS MONEY.I AINT GOT DIDDY MONEY BUT I WORK HARD TO GIVE MY KIDS WHATEVA THEY WANT AND I WISH SOMEBODY WOULD QUESTION ME. SO YEAH BASHIR WAS OUT A LINE AND HE SOUND LIKE A HATER

  • fan

    I agree with Diddy. The man earned his money fair and square. What he does with it is no one’s business. I wouldn’t spend $400,000 on car for any reasons but I’m not Diddy. More power to him!

  • drenk

    DID steve jobs or bill gates have their friend killed so they could be the star…?

  • brandon

    Everybody in my neighborhood and at my job asked each other and themselves the same thing. Why would a father give a child a car like this. Folks were shaking their heads in frustration and disbelief.

  • Mellow-Yellow

    Normally, I do not agree w/ much of what comes out of Sean Combs mouth. However, he is absolutely right in this case. White celebrties are never asked about what they spend their money on or how much money they made for a film. These questions seem to only be reseved for black celebrities. It is as if they are litterally keeping tabs on their bank acccounts.

  • miari

    Actually he is worried about he wrong thing.If feels that strongly about it ask for anther interview and set that bashir straight. Come on diddy wouldn’t that clear it up.

  • Caramel Cat™

    @Diddy

    Two words: SHUT UP….

  • knowledge for today

    SMh, the problem is more so, if you as a rich person go on national TV and have a show about a $400.000 car then people are going to say stuff. I know White folks have done it for years but I really can’t name them because it wasn’t on a show! In general I remember the white folks on sweet 16 bc they are their laundry out on tv. For example….. House wife of New Jersey, if she wasn’t on that show we would not be talking about it!! and she is not black…

    This ish is simple..

  • Gert

    It is bad enough that this boy would be considered a target and a drug dealer driving around i a car like that but it could get him killed. The car was stupid but I agree with the baby mamas and stupid Diddy saying he wasn’t having anymore babies until marriage. Which baby mama will he marry? Stop having babies by all these different women.

  • LaDiva

  • ImJustSayin

    Diddy, for once, makes a valid point.

  • Sincere

    Diddy is right there is no way Steve Jobs would of been asked the same question. @ Richard you are full of shit. First off you have no idea about how much time this man spends with his kids or how ggod of a father he is. Second, men who go out and work and earn money to support their families are ruining the black family GTFOH.

  • Bashir and Diddy are both arseholes

    Diddy and Bashir are both woven from the same cloth so why is he upset?

  • Anywho

    I see both sides. Bashir was doing his job by making an interesting interview. Diddy answered him honestly. I agree that Bashir wouldn’t have asked Steve Jobs or Bill Gates that same question. But at the same time, it’s unlikely that Jobs or Gates would have made such a purchase for their 16 yr old. And Diddy doesn’t have ends as long as either one of them.

    But back to the point. Bashir was honing in on the concept that black moguls tend to spend their money on being seen. He was trying to highlight frivolous spendings of black people in Diddy’s position. Diddy fell into the trap. He was 100% right thathe can spend his money as he pleases. He wouldn’t have asked Steve Jobs that question because it’s not a choice he would have made.

  • MistaO

    P is correct. That was a flat out racist move and I for one am glad he called him out on that one.

    No matter what some white person of wealth does or how they live, no way would he have questioned what this man purchased for HIS son.

  • Aunt Viv

    @ Caramel Cat,

    Girl, I can’t wait for my vacation in a few weeks. Today’s my first day back on here in a long time, and I’m finding the new layout a bit jarring too…

  • Amanda

    Like Obama said, making babies do not make you a good father. Men who agree with Diddy are the very ones spreading babies all over the place with first one woman after another. They make child support(a few anyway) but are not persistent, constant figures in the lives of their children. Their sons grow up thinking it is okay to have babies with as many women as possible, no big deal. No big deal to be half a father or a sometimes father trying to spread attention around. Dumb ghetto men who are afraid of commitment to marriage and family think this way I see it all the time. Several girls pregnant at the same time by the same trifling dude.

  • Antoine

    Strong, stable, intelligent, responsible men produce strong, stable families. Insecure boys thinks having babies by who and who makes them a man. Proves a manhood they are self-conscious of so the babies gives them confidence that they are men, but deep down inside they know they are lacking in masculinity.

  • rhonda

    I don’t think the question was racist. I think he was asking what any sane thinking person wanted to know. Just because you can afford to do something does not make it a good idea. Diddy, I know you love your kids, but that was beyond ridiculous! In a day when the economy is in terrible shape and people can’t find a job, do you really want to see a kid get a $400,000 car? C’mon people!

  • chaka1

    These comments just show how screwed up black people are. Diddy did an entire press conference to unveil that stupid car. He flaunted it all over the press. It’s a fair question.

    Most notable rich white people, not the Kumtrashians or Trump, don’t flaunt their wealth or expensive gifts in front of press.

    I upsets me that Diddy, Kanye, and Jay Z are held up as fine representatives for Black America.

  • iheartDiddy

    Richard u don’t know him personally so u can not judge the type of father he is. You need to calm down. His kids and mothers of his kids aren’t abusing the system. And he is a business mogul and american icon so I’m pretty sure Obama was NOT talking about him. You need to be quiet because you sound ignorant. And yes that was a racist question. He is right they don’t ask the richest white people what kind of cars their kids go to school in. He only asked him to make him look ignorant when white folks’ kids are getting that and more. Oh and Richard he also takes care of another man’s kid. He’s still this send a check dad? Stfu you obviously have daddy issues.

    Diddy should of knowed not to have a interview with Bashir!!! Look what turn out from the interview with Michael Jackson!!!! Bashir is a nut and is always out of line in his questioning of black people, thus black folks beware of the Bashir!!! He up to no good… Diddy can do what he wants to with all his hard earn money!!!

  • Danielle

    I think that Diddy has the right to spend his money the way he wants to spend it, and so what he spent that on his son. Thats his son and he wanted him to have the best he worked for the money why not spend it the way you want to.

  • Mr.uPPeR CuTTs

    Diddy got a point. Bashir wouldn’t ask someone white about the gifts they gave to their children.

  • juliemango

    What makes the q racist??? maybe the reasoning is the gift exceeds ppl expectations of Diddy himself!!!

  • MTV

    The reason he asked the question about the car is because he gave it to him on MTV in front of a national audience. That is the attention
    he yearned for in the first place, so of course it might be a chance he will be asked about it.

    The man is worth 350 million dollars and still gets questioned about giving his 16 yr old son a $250,000 car. But another rich white dude wouldnt have been asked that question because of the “rich n white” image that we see so much in this country. its almost a norm. so when a black dude with money does the same exact thing, it catches some people off guard because it aint the “norm”.

  • Please

    Racist my azz, some of you all are so foolish. It was clear that Bahshir was questioning the logic in doing something like that for a kid.

    To me Bashir was trying to show Puff how stupid (even if you got it) to buy a kid something like that. Way to paint a target on your family fool.

    Diddy is right. Look at all these spoiled white kids gettin these expensive gifts from their parents for forever and all of a sudden its a problem when a black man does the same thing for his child.

    ____________________

    That’s basically the long and short of it. If Puff had given it to his son in private and not spoken about it, we would most likely never even know the kid had a Maybach. But everything with Puff is a “production.” If you opt to be flashy in public and on TV, don’t get mad when the media asks tough questions.

  • D.

    I agree with Diddy 100%

  • PHIZZLE

    ALOT OF YOUR COMMENTS UP TOP ARE VERY IGNORANT. IT IS TRUE. JUST NOT OF BLACK MEN ALONE BUT YOUNG BLACK MEN. BECAUSE HE WOULDN’T ASK BILL COSBY THAT QUESTION EITHER. IT WAS A PREJUDICE QUESTION AGAINST A RAPPER (YOUNG BLACK MAN) BUT A RACIST QUESTION AT THE BASE OF ALL THINGS. WHAT A RICH MAN BUYS HIS SON IS OVERLOOKED IN ALL ARENAS, WHY NOT IN HIS CASE?? OR IN GUCCI OR BIRDMANS CASE?? BECAUSE ITS A BIT PREJUDICE AND BECAUSE THEY ARE BLACK IT IS A BIT RACIST AT THE BACK OF IT ALL.

  • Jay the Real One

    He knew what Bashi t was when he let him interview him.

  • Ms. PJ

    There is difference between an $80,000 Porsche and a $400,000 Maybach and I think it was absolutely foolish for Diddy to buy his 16 year old son one. It gives his son no incentive to earn his own money. I’m not a Bashir fan, but I think he hit it on the nail on this one. Diddy showed he is a stupid fool on this one. This does not make Diddy an exceptional Daddy, it makes him a stupid one!

  • Chris

    The reporter was correlating his lifestyle to what black kids are following. As a black man is Diddy being a real role model? He has a few kids out of wedlock and buys his kids fancy things. Is that a role model to his kids? Its not a racist question.

  • Geronimo Deuces

    mstzzzzzzzzzzz to diddy give that money to the needy

  • TruthHurths

    I would have to agree that Diddy looks silly for buying his son a Maybach. What’s the purpose?? What does his son have to work toward? Isn’t Diddy the same person that said he toned down the jewelry that he was wearing during the time that we were in a recession because it was “Unamerican”?? So, we haven’t fully recovered, yet, what are your actions saying?

  • darealwifey

    I can’t stand Diddy, but I agree with him here. Racism isn’t all about the “N” word. Racism is about double-standards, and making sure the race perceived as “inferior” stays on the bottom.

    Cribs and My Super Sweet 16 have been just a peek into the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Please understand that there are no limits for children of the uber-wealthy, and you better believe that no one is going to question wealthy, white families about how they raise their children.

    Diddy’s biggest mistake was flaunting his money on TV. That’s a mistake for ANY wealthy person, but particularly, a minority who is wealthy. People are always envious of what others have, but it’s worse when they think you don’t deserve it.

    For the record, I don’t agree with Diddy’s decision to give a 16-yr-old a gift like that, BUT, that’s none of my business. That’s his child and his money. He didn’t do anything illegal.

  • jay

    Over the course of Diddy’s career he has donated millions to charities and causes. Remember the Diddy run the city and Katrina donations.So mean to tell me it’s not a problem to give away millions of his money but it’s a problem to buy his son whatever he wants. If I had a good kid that stayed out of trouble and did well in school, I would give him whatever is in my means just to show him that being good pays off. If he bought the kid a Honda Accord yall would be like come on diddy you can do better than that. lol

  • THE REAL DEAL

    He isn’t a racist, Puff is just not smart enough to handle the questions. After thinking about it weeks later this is his response, he should have thought of that back then. And S.Jobs is not going to give his 16 year old a Maybach, jackhole. He is made because he got the better of him, maybe you should think. I am glad someone took him to task about his over indulgent moraless ways.

  • Tracey

    Why did P Diddy allow Bashir to interview him in the first place.

    Bashir was the poison that first started to kill off MJ!

  • sweetness

    I will also have to agree with diddy. The rich, white kids on MTV, whose parents expose all that they buy for their children, doesn’t raise an eye to anyone. But let a financially, stable black man show some love for his child by buying him something extravagant and its taken to another level. The bottom line is, Diddy has money to spend on his kids, so let him. If I had his money, and my child was doing right by me, I would not hesitate to spoil him. And I know alot of people may say they wouldn’t but you really don’t know what you would do if you were rich. Money changes all situations…

    It was a way of demeaning Diddy and all Blacks by extension. Bill Gates showed his gaudy house-no one asked him those questions. It’s bigger than Diddy people. Diddy is about opening our eyes to accept more for Blacks. He would not have asked a white person that question.

  • thrillticket

    @Richard…my sentiments exactly. There wasn’t one racist thing said by Bashir. He just pointed out the ignorance of Diddy period. And Diddy felt it big time….. so he cries “racism” No Diddy, you do not set a good example for our young black men in the family sense of your life. But you do have business sense like no other. Teach that part of you (the business side) to your son. Not by giving him luxury items and such. That’s only teaching him to rely on daddy to take care of him for the rest of his life. You’re not teaching him to be an independent successful Black young man. You are only doing things to make yourself look good. A good father doesn’t buy his kids, he teaches them, molds them, loves them, grounds them, and spends time with them to show them what being a man is all about. You spend more time with multiple women and in the lime light than you do with your kids. Most men look for a father figure in their lives because their fathers aren’t around and end up finding the worse there are out there, and follow them right into prison, drugs are death. When they look at you, and want to be you…the example that you are setting is money, poppin’ bottles, lots of women and partying, kids by different women and big cars, and traveling. Where is the parental side? The father side? Put that and the business sense out there in front for our young Black men to see. Right now…you are an example of the Black father of how not to be.
    I’m not a hater, I grew up with your music and loved it. What I do hate is how our young Black men are turning out. You are not the problem but you are part of it and are not helping the matters in any way.

    Puffy need go get Rick Ross on a treadmill and work off all the food bill this nicca is running up on Puffy instead of of acting like a bi*tch about whether this nerd geek Bashir asked him a racist question.

    There was nothing racist about that question and suggesting there was only dilutes the legitimate claims of racism.

    Puffy just got mad because for 1 second a egg head dude with more brains than him got his azz too look at how, and why he thinks a lil dude like this should have a car that`s more money than peoples salary in a year ??!!

    Got Puffy looking at what kind of perspective he`s giving his kids.

    See real talk Puffy don`t like being called out on Sh*it . This dancing mufuga just want you to be caught up in all his bread and floss and to dumb down your life like him.

    ONLY PUFFY IS THE ONLY ONE PROFITING ! Use your head people .

AND WHICH IN TURN COULDNT EVEN DRIVE IT (IT WAS FOR SHOW TO ALL THE OTHER MILLIONS OF KIDS WHO PROB WILL NEVER GET TO EVEN SEE A MAYBACH OR DONT EVEN KNOW WERE THE NEXT MEAL IS COMING FROM.)…SO ITS NOT RACIST LIKE STATED BEFORE THOSE PPL HE BROUGHT UP DONT GO ON A TV SHOW TO SHOW HOW MUCH MONEY THEY HAVE TO GET THERE KIDS WHATVERE THEY WANT ONLY PPL WHO NEVER HAD IT ARE GEEKED TO SHOW IT. AND YEAH IT IS HIS MONEY U CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT ….SO STICK TO THAT PULLIN OUT THE RACIST CARD FOR THE BILLIONTH TIME IS OLD AND MOLDED.

  • GUCCIFRAMES

    OH AND Y WASNT THE QUESTION ABOUT HAVING ALL THESE ILLIGETIMATE KIDS NOT RACIST BUT THE MAYBACH QUESTIONS IS….DUMB AS SH !T

  • http://urnotpdiddyloser 5’10″ AKILLAH RICHARDS

    Whether or not someone likes Puffy or agrees with the decision to buy that car, the question WAS RACIALLY MOTIVATED. I wonder what car Donald Trump bought his son for HIS 16th?

  • white male

    Bill Gates would never give his 16 year old son a 400k car on national tv and Gates said he is giving his children 10 million dollars each and donating his billions to charity when he dies, I doubt P. diddy would do that.

    I have no comment about the racial content of Bashir.

  • yoyo0204

    Diddy is a dummy. Always trying to one up. Did the Jobs, Hiltons, Gates, Kennedys etc. put their child on my sweet 16 showing off what they can do. Not. Get a little money and don’t know how to act. Pitiful

  • http://urnotpdiddyloser 5’10″ AKILLAH RICHARDS

    the question was not whether we agree with the decision to buy the car, but radther dude was motivated by racism and HE IS.

  • http://urnotpdiddyloser 5’10″ AKILLAH RICHARDS

    YOU PEOPLE ACT LIKE DIDDY’S SON WAS THE F I R S T one ON SWEET 16. THE SHOW IS BASED ON ELABORATE GIFTS/PARTIES. STOP HATING.

  • http://urnotpdiddyloser 5’10″ AKILLAH RICHARDS

    STOP HATING HATERS! THE DUDE IS A JEALOUS, BITTER RACIST HATER WITH AN AGENDA JUST LIKE SOME OF YOU. TOODLEZ

  • jay32

    Whether or not Bill Gates or Steve Jobs would give their son a Maybach isn’t the question.The question is if he would’ve asked them the same question.I don’t think he would’ve.Diddy worked hard for his money and has the right to do whatever he wants with it.I wouldn’t buy my 16yr old a gift that expensive but if I have Diddy money whenever I become a father my child will be spoiled.A parent is supposed to give their children the best life possible and teach them how to be responsible men and women.Regardless of how you feel about Diddy he seems like a good father

  • GUCCIFRAMES

    I BELEIVE TOO ABOLISH SOMETHING IS TO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT AS WELL. SO AS LONG AS BLACK PPL SETTLE ON USING THE RACIST CARD IT WILL NEVER GO AWAY.
    @AKILLAH WHY ARE YOU ADAMIT ABOUT DEFENDING THIS MAN…JUST FOR RATING HE WILL MAKE YOU GO ACROSS A CITY JUST TO GET HIM CHEESECAKE. OR MAKE YOU INTO A SINGER GET ALL OF YOUR ROYALTIES AND BE EXCECUTICE PODUCER JUST TO USE YOU. BUT NOOOOO YOU TALKIN ABOUT THE INTERVIEWER DOING HIS JOB TO ASK QUESTIONS.

  • White Women Rule

    That’s because “white people” don’t but their children Maybachs you moron!!!

    BMW, Mercedes, Audi…yes! maybach, NO!

  • pierre

    don’t put it on tv in a sweet 16 and then complain about it. That’s like someone complaining that people make fun of them for wearing something in public that looks tacky. When you put it out for public consumption, deal with the results!

  • Thaddious

    After that slanted Michael Jackson special, he should have known Bashir was biased. What next, Puffy, a Mike Wallace interview?

  • ProMAC

    Such intelligent and thought provoking comments. It’s refreshing to come on here and read some of the comments. In spite of the fact that b o s s i p is an internet blog version of B E T who is an arching agent in the destruction of the black American image and family unit, certain individuals on this site provide some what of a balance be it small in comparison to the trifling and inordinate amount of ignorant images and themes B O S S I P loves to perpetuate.

    Be sure to guard yourself against the foolishness this site displays and remember like television programming, these blogs are mind control devices. Those aware know what I am talking about.

    Diddy’s sons will unfortunately end up exactly like him but having lived faster lives ultimately leading to a speedy destruction. He is their idol and they are emulating his every being.

  • Trina

    Diddy, how was that a racist question? You are a big public figure. Of course that purchase would get people’s attention. Honestly, I’ve never seen a white person buy a 16 year old a car like that. But … they don’t make the news so maybe I just don’t know. Deal with it. What you do will make the news? If you don’t like it, get out of the game. Crybaby.

  • Tricia

    Diddy is a dumb*ss. He is always using his children to promote this image of being a good father. That was Diddy who had his seed on MTV with the Phantom. Why you mad cause the man asked you a question, and a good question at that? Steve Jobs don’t use his kids to show how he’s “balling outta control”. Hell, do you even know what his kids look like? Nope. What about Larry Ellison, founder of Oracle. Have you seen his seed being pimped on an MTV show? Nope. That was Diddy who put his biz on front street. That was Diddy who put his son on TV. Therefore its free game, and if a reporter wants to ask him a question then he needs to man up and answer it. And stop trying to play the race card..this from a shuck n jiving fool who takes advantage of his BLACK artists and jacks them outta their money to feed their families so he can party and kiss the hinds of white folks. Ninja please. U need more people.

  • tee
  • stophatin

    He wouldn’t have asked Steve Jobs that because Steve Jobs would never buy his kid a maybach because he’s not a clown/idiot like Combs.

    Every time a black guy cries wolf/racism where there is none, it cheapens the accusation for when there really is some. Way to go, Puff. (Steve Jobs would never call himself ‘Puffy’ either.)

    Bashir’s questions were not intelligent. What do you people think is intelligent? I could think of many questions I would have asked that would have been relevant and intelligent. Bashir is no egghead. How could you think that? Go back to school!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • http://urnotpdiddyloser 5’10″ AKILLAH RICHARDS

    I mean I can understand if Puff did something to you PERSONALLY, I KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO HAVE A R E A S O N to hate someone but to just hate for no reason? cmon man, what is that?

  • http://urnotpdiddyloser 5’10″ AKILLAH RICHARDS

    As far as him “ganking” his artists, how many of them went multiplatinum? So how could they expect to have multimillions? Its not his fault if the records dont sell, is it? (shrugs)

  • funny gal

    I saw that interview and didn’t think it was a racist question. I think he meant why would you give a 16 yr old that type of car as his first car? Plus if Diddy’s going to have his pr peeps blast stuff about his family like it’s news, then reporters have the right to ask about it.

  • coljam21

    I think Bashir would have asked the question weather diddy was black or white. It doesn’t matter what color you are, any one who buys such an expensive for a 16 year old to cover up the fact that they are not being a good father deserves to be called out.

  • Jackie

    Diddy..whats wrong with you? This is the man (and I use that term lightly), that destroyed Michael Jackson’s career. Why did you do that interview at all? What did you expect? You’re lucky that’s all he did.

    diddy is for himself
