Diddy and Camel Told to Fall Back by Obama

Posted by Bossip Staff

According to Livesteez, the Obama Camp has asked that the entertainers to stay the hell back right now:

Unfortunately, some of Barack Obama’s biggest backers won’t be in attendance tonight for his historical celebratory meeting. The Obama campaign has reportedly asked some of his famous supporters to stay away from his rally Tuesday night in Chicago’s Grant Park, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Although the campaign is reportedly grateful for the high-profile support, several prominent celebs have reportedly been asked “politely but very firmly” to skip the rally and focus on attending the Obama inauguration in January, should that occur, as reported by MTV.com. An Obama insider reportedly told the newspaper’s Bill Zwecker that Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins and Ben Affleck were among those asked to stay away from tonight’s festivities. “There really only needs to be one star in Grant Park, and that’s Barack,” the insider reportedly said. “There will be plenty of time for a new President Obama to be surrounded by famous fans, all hopeful about a new administration.” However, the paper reported that early Obama supporter Oprah Winfrey is confirmed to make an appearance at the rally in Grant Park. It is also expected that Winfrey will be with Obama as well as his family and inner circle throughout the night at their hotel in Chicago.

YES WE CAN!!

Fall back right now fam. A lot of you bandwagon celebrities only stepped up when it looked like Barack was going to win, when it was “safe and cool”. SMH.

Pictures below of them shucking and jiving at the Promote The Vote Concert in Philly yesterday.

Pop the presidential hood for more…

    Fall back indeed! Some of thee folks,represent the WORST we have to offer. The last thing we need at this historic time,is this 21st century minstrels,jumping on the bandwagon.We have a real chance to makes history and the last thing we need are the very people who have made us look the worst whenever the spotlight has been on them,trying to be leaders. IF say FALL the hell back,take care of your many out of wedlock children,drink your moet,smoke your blunts,count your money and let REAL folks enjoy this moment without these media w*****s trying to get more face time for themselves.

  5. Kevin

    So it’s ok for them to get you elected, but now that it looks like you’re in there like swimwear, they gots to be gone?

    What the ***** is this all about Barack?

  6. LaLa

    Why Oprah and NOT Diddy or Jay Z or even Susan Sarandon? hmmmm… Seems a bit strange to me that his camp says Obama needs to be the only star on the night yet he invites Oprah Winfrey to the rally? Makes no sense.

  7. Official TimeHater (Is it EEEEEVVVIILLLL?)

    First off, I don’t really believe this, I doubt that Barack would turn away ANY supporter. Second, Bossip, Why do they have to be shucking and jiving? At least they are doing something positive in trying to inspire voters. Seriously, would you rather have Puffy laid up under C*****ie all day or being productive in society? Sheesh.

  9. I don’t understand why they cannot attend and why the should “fall back”…these people helped to get people to vote and support Obama; they deserve to take part if they want. It is like a slap in the face. RIDICULOUS!!!

    Bossip this trash blog is obviously ran by a racist dumb*****! Enough with the racial slurs already…

  10. Macho-in-Paris-France

    I am surprized. Typical BLACK POWER. When a BLACK MAN got a “cake” everybody is not WELLCOME. Bravo OBAMA, I can only wish you GOOD LUCK. Next time you will see everyone crying because he doesnt get a good function(employement) from Obama.

  11. Pynk

    Hannibal… you’re trippin’

    and at first reading this it *****ed me off but then I understand. I feel the Obama Camp for saying that. Only one star to shine tonight!!!

  12. Hannibal (MCCAIN WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT)

    PYNK

    HOW AM I TRIPPIN? YOUR NOT REALLY VOTING FOR OBAMA ARE U?

  13. Ghost

    Sure some of them have support Obama, but some have done it and it backfired.

    Would you want say Josh Howard of the Dallas Mavericks there?? After he said F American and support Obama?

    Remember rap music is still look upon as bad by most folks and why would you want Diddy there or clowns that rapped support Obama and bust a cap in Negro’s behind?

    And if Obama wins. I wouldn’t want to be there since the folks that might want him dead would be in full force (and no I’m not talking about the KKK-I mean some of US).

  14. GD

    I don’t blame Obama. I wouldn’t want them ghetto heathens at nothing I’m puttin’ on cl*****y either. Mary J. Blige, Jay-Z, Mary J…I love ‘em but dem *****s ghetto, especially P. Diddy. He gon’ come thru their dancing with his no-rhythm having ***** and Mary J. gon’ come thru with her ghetto blonde and crazy wigs on which we thought she gave up when she said she’d matured but started back wearing again.

    I don’t blame that men….I believe he told ‘em to fall back and I don’t blame him!

  15. Lala

    I don’t blame Obama either. Diddy acts like a damn fool. It’s embar*****ing. Jay-z has a little more sense about him. I can see Diddy now trying to steal the spot light, acting stupid, trying to be seen. He acts like a ghetto ***** fool with new money (well, that’s exactly what he is!)

    On another note, is anybody else embar*****ed by D.L. Hughley’s show on CNN? The only black man on there, and his show consists of a bunch of bafoonary. And we wonder why white people won’t take us seriously.

  16. Davina

    It’s a politic night people!!! NOT A HOLLYWOOD PARTY.

    We the stars all the time tonight we don’t need them at Chicago!

    I know they contributed to this election as many anymous American citizens did.

    Oprah is the most powerfull woman in America She DESERVES her place.

  17. Davina

    *WE see the stars

  18. White Devil

    Does he think they are gonna get stupid at the party? Maybe they shouldn’t go on the stage, but why not in the audience. If he wins, he will be the first African American president. Soon to be the most powerful man in the world. Who does he think is going to outshine him? And he never seemed like he was one to worry about things like that anyway.

  19. Pynk

    Of course I voted for Obama. Dang… I wasn’t gonna vote for an old dude that is waaaaay out of touch. We need culture and a different point of view in the White House.

    PUERTO RICANS FOR OBAMA…. thought you knew son!

  20. Pynk

    @white devil…

    it ain’t Obama that cares it’s his camp and his people around him saying this. Obama prob wants them there.

  21. Hannibal (MCCAIN WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT)

    @PYNK

    WELL IM SORRY TO HEAR THAT, BUT YOU ARE GOING TO BE ONE OF MANY OBAMA SUPPORTERS WHO WILL BE DISAPPOINTED, I STILL GOT LOVE FOR U THOUGH…

  22. chaka1

    The point is, they can still show up, but they won’t be going backstage, sending shout outs or getting the VIP treatment. They will have to stand in the crowds with the rest of us. Obama’s possible victory will be significant to world history and is a serious affair. He will also have to make funeral arrangements for his grandmother at the same time.

  23. soldiergirl

    STAY STRONG, I agree 100% w/the OBAMA CAMP, they should not be allowed to garner the spotlight tonight, t(J-Z, Beyonce, here wre many, many times some of these celebraties

  24. nique ta mere

    i agree with Hannibal. i just don’t see america electing a black men just yet. they aren’t ready. maybe in 10 years. too bad cause obama ran a good campaign for a rookie

  25. Fresh Air

    Kevin, I feel ya. These people have campaigned for Obama and now they can’t attend the celebration tonight. I don’t think that is right.

  26. Pynk

    @Hannibal… I still got love for yer crazy confused ***** too! But deep down I know you really voted for Obama!!

  27. ShavonDenise

    “shucking and jiving”?? WOOOOW… I didnt know that Blacks would be accused of doing that when they’re recognizing their own kind. Good luck to all the entertainers who raised their voice because alot of people only listen to hip hop stations/BET and not CNN lets be real. They finally do something postive and yall call them coons still???

  28. a-list

    ok bossip you need to fall back with shucking and jiving statement. its wrong offensive and racist. how could you manage to incorporate it when discussing obama. no matter how much you want to hate these “celebrities” they brought alot of kids to the polls. but besides that i dont like the statment. i wont be surprised if half your staff is white either or a bunch of ucle toms trying to speak from a “down” black person POV. if anything many your blogs include alot of “cooning” and “shucking and jiving”


  29. shut up d-lister and shavon….

    Obama all the way, McCain can go away!!!


  30. @Pynk – its all good shawty the poll numbers are looking good despite all the widespread voter suppression across the country. Hmm wondering why there is concerted effort to keep people from voting if they were not afraid of the obvious outcome.

    Sides half the folk voting for the other side dont even understand the concept of one gets elected for office. If certain states fall then it is in the bag ( i.e. mathematically impossible..) but I will stay skeptical till its all over and done with. We need some rican’s down here in the A – make my week betta

  31. nick

    Of course Oprah is invited. She did that very powerful endorsement for him monthes ago. Oprah=power ppl

  32. Hannibal (MCCAIN WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT)

    PYNK

    IM GLAD TO HEAR THAT, BUT MCCAIN IS GONNA WIN…BARACK HAD A GREAT RUN…

  33. Coop

    @Bossip

    @davari

    @nick

    I don’t believe this all of these people have been with Obama as long as Harpo and have gave money and time. I remember hearing about Jay, Bey, L.A. Reid and others holding fund raising dinners before summer of 07.

  34. reddnwood

    The more things change the more they remain the same meaning that even with this great celebration that’s coming for our people & the country we still can’t REALLY ENJOY IT & BE HAPPY FOR FEAR OF DISPLEASING THE WHITE FOLKS AND/OR EMBARR***** OURSELVES!

  35. dayg715

    i totally agree. the last thing obama needs is diddy’s coon ***** shuckin’ and jivin’ all over the place. fall back indeed. and before you people start cursing him out, he told the white celebrities to fall back too, not just the hip hop ones.

  37. ewok

    I feel them. While it is great that they are ‘getting involved’…fall the frik’ back right now. Promote voting instead and wear your shirt proudly when he wins. Puffy, quit screwing hoes and gettin ‘em preggers without marriage, HOV (mr. 99 probs…nuff said, and Bey (she is my fave artist besides Kim Burrel, but she is putting rings on it)

    Not a good look for the Prez…they (the media) will have a field day with Barack with all of them there blinging and *****. He will be the Leader of The Free World…..not Arista. Oprah goes without saying, her work has been commendable througout the years. The truth should not hurt in this case. This will be a victory for all Americans. YES WE CAN….AND YES WE FIN’ TO!

  38. Pynk

    @Hannibal, are you blind? He’s winning everywhere!!! I’m gonna seriously cry when he wins. I’m so excited.

  39. lanette

    Wow look at BOSSIP trashing celebs for trying to encourage people to get out the vote….

    i am glad that these artist stepped up..if they want to shuck and jive for OBAMA i say so be it.

    BOSSIP will continue to focus on trash and this time next year BOSSIP will be dissin the OBAMA’s just like they dis every other family, and person on this site.

  40. Beezy Baby

    I dont know man, i kinda agree with the Obama camp. We can all party like rockstars later. This is his time!

  41. The Th3rd

    That’s actually a good move to keep rappers away from Barack espcially knowing if they were invited Diddy will be acting coonish as hell with his stupid CIROC OBAMA fooly*****, and he’ll be dancing shucking a jiving like a professional, PLEASE LORD LET OBAMA WIN THIS I”M PRAYING

  42. WordtotheWise

    I don’t believe this at all. If that were the case, wouldn’t they have informed Jay Z, Diddy, Mary, etc. to fall back BEFORE Election Day? You noticed there’s no “source” attached to that statement. Not buying it!

  43. Brook

    If this is true, black folks are in a whole of trouble…I hope this is not true.

  44. Goddess_Isis

    why are you guys censoring my comments?

  45. UDon'tKnowMe

    Aahh is it just me or is Bey rockin a nasty “,b> BUNT …. giiirrrrrllll. those jeans too tight!

  46. UDon'tKnowMe

    that’s right. all u bandwagon coons fall the ***** back.

  47. Bella

    IT’S THAT ATTENTION SEEKER PUFY NEED BRACES ON HIS TEETH THAT THEY WANT TO FALL BACK, HE WILL TRY TO UP STAGE OBAMA FOR THE ATTENTION. AND WE KNOW NOTHING HAPPENS GOOD WHEN HE IS AROUND.*-

  48. Tina

    The city of wind is the best damn place to be right now.

  49. BeReal

    I am not sure if this is true but if they did say it,I can understand it would be hard for them not to attract attention as stars.

  50. Ghost

    Sarah Gilbert from Roseanne???? She is there!

    Diddy must be going crazy after seeing she got invited instead of him.

  51. Nik

    I would tell diddy and jay-z to back away too!

  52. SMS

    I get their point.It really was his time. And yep seen Oprah for like 5 seconds on the screen.

  53. SMS

    I agree with that camp tho.

  54. Tracey

    IT WORKED, AND THAT WAS OBAMA ACKNOWLEDING P DIDDY IS AN IDIOT!

  55. African Princess

    Serves them right. Bey and Jay only started showing their support recently towards the end when it looked possible. Most of these fools only started showing up towards the end. Sit your *****ess down somewhere and let Obama shine.

  56. Mamacita

    Yes we can! Yes we can! Yes we can! And we did!

    btw…Kevin Liles is fine…

  57. Mamacita

    Yes we can! And we did!

    btw…Kevin Liles is fine…

  58. BGirl

    I agree with the camp! SORRY, but most of these celebs didn’t use their power until like yesterday. WAY after the registration deadline, here they come! Even the magazines that endorsed him, did it at the last minute. He should have had their power long ago, and the race wouldn’t have been even this close.

    Where were they last year when he announced his election? Where were they when they were crucifying Wright for saying the same thing we hear/say everyday? They want to jump in on the bandwagon at the 11th hour!

    Besides, they are a huge security risk. All those rollers in one room hoggin all the light.

  59. BB

    I would tell them to stay home too. Not one of them has an ounce of cl***** between them. & it’s not about displeasing white people, it’s about respecting ourselves as a people.

    They’ll be down for the cause today, and tomorrow they’ll be back to promoting “hood life.” What they should be doing is railing against the hood machine and encourage education, respecting black women and foremost respecting themselves.

  60. Kevin W.

    Anyone who is would come to the celebration shucking and jiving should stay home. They just want to sell some concert tickets. And anyone who thought Barack was gonna lose is also guilty of cooning. Disloyal and ***** made.

  61. jo

    WELL IT’S THE DAY AFTER THE ELECTION A NIQUE TA MERE AND HANNIBAL YALL WAS WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! BLACK MAN WINS OVER WHELMINGLY…..SEE NO RECENT POSTS FROM YOU TWO???? YUP HIDE IN SHAME HIDE IN SHAME…… I AGREE WITH THE READER THAT SAID THESE STARS DIDNT STEP UP AT THE BEGINNING STAGE, ONLY WHEN HILLARY WAS OUT THAT’S WHEN THE STARS CAME OUT, SO THE NIGHT SHOULD BE FOR OBAMA AND THE ‘MAINSTREAM’ PEOPLE LIKE HE SAID HE WAS RUNNING FOR……AND THAT’S US LITTLE FOLKS….

  62. kenya

    YALL ARE STILL NOT GETTING THE MESSAGE,OBAMA,THATS CLEARLY AN AFRICAN NAME,THE ONLY REASON HE GOT NOMINATED WAS BECAUSE OF THE AFRICAN BLOOD IN HIM,I KNOW A WHITE MAN WOULDNT WANT A SLAVE TO RULE OVER HIM,HE HAS THAT AFRICAN CULTURE LINE IN HIM,LOOK AT HOW HE CARRIES HIMSELF,NO EAR RINGS ON BOTH EARS,NO SAGGING OF PANTS OF TATOO HIS WHOLE BODY JUST LIKE MOST OF YOU BLACK BASTERD DO!!!GET REAL.
