Puff Daddy, er, P.Diddy Earns his Crown

Sean Combs, the Rapper/Dancer/Wannabe Actor and Sampler Extraordinaire who reminds us to “call him Diddy,” might not be a hip-hop king like Nas or Jay-Z, but he’s earned a crown of another sort. The mogul has agreed to be a spokesman for Burger King! The company will also be sponsoring his tour in support of his new album Press Play. It’s been nearly a decade since the passing of Puffy’s, oops I mean Diddy’s, best friend Biggie Smalls. Come on now Diddy, everyone wants to pay their tribute to Big, some rappers like Shyne want to sound like Big, but do we also wanna have waistlines like Big? Thanks to you Diddy, when we put our lighters up in tribute, we’ll also be thinking of that flame-broiled goodness that’s served our way!

New York’s Hot 97 Radio Sued for Excessive Violence

New York City’s Hot 97 is being sued by the building’s landlord because of frequent gun battles in front of the building. They are requesting that Hot 97 be evicted from the building because their rapper guests are inciting violence and engaging in delinquent behaviors “that have shocked, offended, repulsed, or threatened the safety of other tenants.”

Rappers named in the lawsuit include Capone from Capone-n-Noreaga, Lil Kim, Junior M.A.F.I.A., The Game, 50 Cent, Cam’ron, DMX, P. Diddy, Suge Knight, Jay-Z, Tony Yayo, Nas and Funkmaster Flex. Also named was rapper Gravy, who was shot in the butt in front of Hot 97 last week.

Can’t we all just get along?

Highlight: DMX, known for always acting like a respectable gentleman, was involved in an altercation with a security guard that wouldn’t let his friend in. DMX responded in his characteristic kind and gentle way: “F*** you, $8.50 an hour fa***t. If you step outside I’ll kick your f***ing a** you bi**h.“
