Puffy Receives Punishment for Shady Dealings
Posted by Bossip Staff
Diddy pretty much admits to being guilty by signing a settlement for copyright infringement of Louis Vuitton products:
Sean “Diddy” Combs, CEO of Bad Boy label, has signed a settlement with bag maker, Louis Vuitton—a company that filed a lawsuit against Combs for copyright infringement of LV products.
The case centered on the product placements of LV products on Danity Kane videos and advertisements. Danity Kane is a hip-hop group that is produced by Combs’ Bad Boy Records. LV said that these placements were unauthorized and breached copyright infringement laws.
In the legal papers, which were filed in Paris last August, Combs was accused of using the LV logo in two Danity Kane music videos, as well as in the packaging photos of the group’s 2006 album.
Combs and LV reached a settlement last Thursday. “Diddy” agreed to remove all visual references and trademarks from future releases of the LV products in the video. As of press time, the financial details of the agreement have not been disclosed.
While similar incidents will no longer be happen for Bad Boy Records, the company will have to find new bands to produce; Since Danity Kane, composed of Aubrey, Aundrea, D.Woods, Dawn, and Shannon, recently disbanded.
We thought Sean was a tad brighter than that. What the hell made him think he could get away with that type of shyte in the first place? Trifling.

You CANNOT Afford to Miss HEAVEN!!!
Matthew 24: 11-13: 11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO MISS HEAVEN!!!
Look around you! All of the things that Jesus foretold would take place is happening around us right now! Many false prophets are everywhere, deceiving people, luring them into giving all of their money. Sin has taken over the world so much that people do not only have not the love of God anymore but the love of their fellow brethren has grown cold as well. You see, we are here! These are the end of times!
If there ever was a time to know and have a relationship with God, it is now! And I don’t mean just going to church, praying, or even occasionally reading your Bible; you have to live this thing! You have to live right! You cannot continue to cuss folks out, drink heavily and get drunk, lie, steal, commit adultery, live a homosexual or sexual immoral life, etc. and think that when you die, God is going to welcome you into the gates with a big Kool-Aid smile! Man, please! You better make up your mind and decide where you wanna go when you die. If the answer is heaven, the time to prepare for it is NOW!
YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO MISS HEAVEN! I’ve never in my life seen so many YOUNG people die like I’m seeing now. Lives are getting cut off early because of sin. God has called each one of us to be trees planted in his vineyard. Now if God planted us to be like trees in his vineyard, you know no tree is planted without the purpose of producing fruit. Is your tree producing fruit? Are you winning souls for the kingdom of God? If not, when God comes back to check your tree, you can rest *****ure it will be chopped down! No matter what you think, you are NOT smarter than God. God knows His children. He knows those who are sincere about serving Him, living for Him, and doing what He’s called us to do. He knows about people who are living only to get money, live sexually impure, and do everything that doesn’t please Him.
God is soon to come, people. Let us all get our houses in order! I know we don’t hear these kinds of messages anymore because all people want to talk about is getting rich, getting a big house, a new car, and promotions and raises on their jobs. There’s nothing wrong with getting those things, however, if you LIVE right for God, He’ll bless you more than your heart could ever even think or ask of; things that are far more valuable than material things! You cannot afford to miss heaven! Live right, walk right, and most importantly, love one another or you will be lost.
Don’t die in your sins and end up in hell…the time for preparing for HEAVEN is NOW!!!

@ De’Vincent
It is so nice to see the love you have for the lord in your writing. I too love the lord me and my husband live for him everything. Everyone thinks it’s a joke, but it is not. it is good to see there is more people out there who love the lord and are willing to spread his word no matter what other people think. They are haters and the devil and want to see you fall like them. Never let anyone have power over you soul or let them get in the way of your blessing and that is a spot with the lord in heaven. AMEN to you young brother. People better wake up.

3/11/09, 10:43:am
@ Oh Yeah – Thanks! I try to post the Word on as many articles as I can on this website. If you’re going to be on a website, why not spread the Word? People need it there too! I just wanna see people saved. I don’t want to see people in their sins die and go to hell. People need to hear the gospel. And I think as Christians sometimes we spend too much of our time arguing and debating over meaningless things instead of spreading the gospel. And that’s what I’m here for.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE & SUPPORT!!!
Oh yeah
3/11/09, 10:55:am
@ De’Vincent
No problem. The more you spread the word the more souls of people you can help save. The lord wants us to spread his word even if there are people who don’t want to hear it. GOD WILL BLESS YOU. Keep on with the word it’s the only thing that will save us in these final days. AMEN God bless you!

Puffy is always being sued for copyright infringments and other shenanigans, so its nothing new. Tyson Beckford had to hit him up for using his image on Sean Johns collections without paying him.

I’m confused. It sounds like he provided free advertising for them. What’s the problem with that? On the other hand considering how he robbed Danity Kane blind at least someone is getting paid beside Diddy who keeps making goobs and gobs of money even though Bad Boy has not one relevant act on it’s roster.

I don’t know what’s up with LV tripping, if it wasn’t for R&B and rap, you wouldn’t have an increase in sales…lets keep it real. These black folks needs to start rocking their own brands and leave those white fools alone. Stop putting money in their pocket for free, and then they’ll come to you begging for you to advertise their *****.

THIS MAN IS NO GOOD….AND AN EMBARR*****MENT TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY, WITH THREE DIFFERENT CHILDREN MOTHERS WITH 5 KIDS AND NOT MARRIED TO ANY OF THEM….
WHEN HE LOOK AT BARACK HE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF.

OK, anybody in the bizz should know better than to mess with LV! They absolutely DO NOT PLAY about their ish, no matter who you are! They will vehemently go after anyone who uses or copies their stuff, and Puff shouldve known better. And LV doesnt need or depend on rap/r&b to stay afloat, they’ve done that just fine for YEARS.

I don’t find this to be a particularly “Godly” site…actually quite secular, why or how you know about it baffles me. Maybe instead of posting these ridiculously long posts you should live as an example and let the Lord call His lambs to you!

Diddy settles lawsuit with Louis Vuitton | WoooHa.com
3/12/09, 06:58:am
[...] Diddy x Louis Vuitton. Remember the days when hip-hop and hi-end luxury goods companies like LV and Gucci co-existed in harmony? Well those days are long gone. Lately, LV has been going after the likes of T.I. and Diddy like they were some 21-year old kids selling knock-off purses in a Singapore shopping mall. A couple months back T.I. couldn’t release his video “Swing Ya Rag” because of the unofficial use of Gucci and LV and now Diddy just signed papers to settle a law suit over Danity Kayne using LV in their ads and videos without permission. The deal calls for Diddy to take out the LV product in the video and a undisclosed cash settlement. Via: Bossip [...]

I don’t know why hip-hop culture embraces and advertise gucci, versace, LV, chistian diore etc. They don’t really want your money or black people wearing it. They think we’ll lower the value, but little do they know blacks are americas largest consumers.
I say ***** them and make our own *****. Dont give those euro ***** suckers and doo doo chasers any free advertisement for their plain jane *****. I’m so tired of seeing this patterned and monogramed *****.

————————
What?????…… Louis Vuitton was already an established Luxury brand before Hip-Hop even came into existence…… that brand is over 100 years old……. these music artists aren’t doin’ them any favors whatsoever….. Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Prada basically sell themselves…. most of Diddy’s audience probably can’t even afford Louis Vuitton… so how is that helping them increase in sales???…… they only use LV, Gucci, Prada, etc because those brands represent a certain social cl***** that they advertise in their videos…… Diddy has Sean John…… but Sean John isn’t a luxury brand, nor is it as noticable as Louis Vuitton…… Louis Vuitton doesn’t need music videos to sell their product when they already have outlets like VOGUE, Harpers BAZAAR, WWD, and Elle…..
I also don’t think it’s a race issue neither….. because they also sued Britney Spears for usin’ their product in one of her videos as well……

@De’Vincent Sorry man, but all that God and Jesus stuff is just myth. doesn’t exist. not real. what’s real is the life we’re living here and now. be kind to your neighbour, and stop spreading fables.
