Diddy's really gonna be steamed when he finds out that the Goodie and Ace companies sell combs.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is a multi-millionaire mogul who leads a life most can only dream of. So why is he pissed off at a rinky-dink website that sells cufflinks?
We're told Diddy unleashed his big-time lawyers on a website called Cuff-Daddy.com, a small, family-owned cufflink seller. They fired off a letter telling them that the business' name was way too similar to his. Wait -- didn't he change his name to Diddy years ago?
We hear the business gets its name from the owner of the company -- he's just a proud dad who sells cufflinks.
The owner of the company tells us they are going to post a disclaimer on the site to minimize any confusion about the name. They also say they hope to resolve this with Diddy's lawyers as quickly as possible, and are in no way trading on his name-- they're just trying to run their small business.
Reps for Combs did not return our calls for comment.

Nice site. Wish I could afford some of the items.
P. Diddy’s perhaps a slight improvement over Snoop Dog, who would probably be suing kennels if he weren’t so stoned all the time.
P Diddy should be in cuffs, handcuffs that is.
This sounds like Spike Lee and Spike TV. Arrogant idiots with no talent always think everything is about them. For example, one Barak Hussein Obama and the speech Bush gave to the Knesset. Like Barak is the only surrender-monkey in town or something. It is all about them.
snoop should be sued by the schulz estate
Took me a minute to realize who or what the Schulz estate was. YES! That would make sense, which is why it won’t happen. If there was EVER an infringement of a “brand name” that would be it. Mr. Dog could be forced to tell us all how he came to refer to himself that way, and we could all get a good laugh as he lamely tried to do it in a fog of ingested marijuana smoke.
