P. Diddy: "I thought I was dreaming when Obama was elected"
Tim Reid
It is with some trepidation that I walk up Broadway toward my rendezvous with Sean “P.Diddy” Combs, who minutes before I meet him is staring down at me from a 172 ft-high vinyl advertisement towering over Times Square - it is the biggest billboard in America - dressed as a black James Bond, chest filling a white tuxedo, next to a muscular-looking bottle of his modestly named new fragrance I Am King.
It is not just that his PR lady has warned me that P.Diddy can be a bit terse - “bombard him with questions, try to get him going,” she urged. But on the train to New York, as I read up on this hip-hop titan, black icon and King of Bling, I felt a creeping sense of dread as I realised that Sean Combs and I could never be called, shall we say, brothers.

I am directed up to the “skylounge” of an exclusive apartment building where Combs has rented a floor of suites. I am interviewer No 40 on press day for his new fragrance. Also waiting are a beautiful African American lady from a hip-hop website, and a nervous woman from AOL, who concedes to being a bit starstruck.
In a bowl sit sample bottles of I Am King. The press release says that it combines “clean notes with sensual fruits and warm skin nuances. (snip)
Finally, I am ushered into the inner sanctum and come face-to-face with Combs, whose career has been a hugely successful journey that has turned him into one of the US's wealthiest African Americans, with an estimated net worth in 2006 of $346 million.

That was a nightmare, someone please wake me up now.
He should withhold that giddiness for when an American of black genetics is elected. Or he can pretend Urkel is the One.
Yep - the first half-white president.
I thought I was having a nightmare... equally horrifying.. I was not. It was is a reality.
P. Diddy a great talent for self-promotion. Other than that, he’s a boob.
Some Freepers thought they were dreaming. Others were just plain nuts running around shouting, “Anyone but McCain.” Those Freepers got what they wanted. Congratulations.
I guarantee you P. Diddy you will be far less prosperous during the Obama years vs. the Bush years. We’d say ‘and you can take that to the bank’ but not a good idea at the moment.
And before that "Anyone but Rudy."

Oh why didn’t Suge Knight off this guy when he had the chance?
It is a BAD dream....
So true; but it was really a nightmare.
He sells crap to idiots.
The only requirement for that is an utter lack of self-respect.
They must have been from the same hood at one time. Good to see that Obama is now there to represent.
“It’s not only white men who can save the world or become president...it’s time for a black man to be James Bond.”
Q: Why don’t run an experiment. Why don’t we give them a whole continent repleat with more countries than any other on earth. Why don’t we put black men in charge of 90% of the governments there and let the experiment run for 25 years or so. Then we would see how wonderful things could be...
A: We already did that experiment.
In my day we didn’t have no “P.Diddy,” we had to make do with Sean Combs. Kids today got it real easy, with the Diddy, and the P. Diddy, and the Puff Daddy, but not us, we had Sean Combs and we were satisfied.
LOL, reminds me of Dana Carvey’s bit on Sting.
One day he’s Gordon Sumner, then he meets up with his friends:
“’Allo Gordo, how’s it goin’?”
“Uh, I’d prefer if you call me ‘Sting’ from now on.”
“Sting?!? You’ve gone off your bleedin’ rocker, Gordo.”
The term that applies to the p-fool is “JAMF.” He merits it in all ways of life.
