08/10: Diddy Gives Critic Grief on MTV's FNMTV
If you watched Friday's FNMTV premiere of Donnie Klang's video for "Take You Here," featuring Diddy, you know that Diddy ran up to the judges table to give MTV News' James Montgomery, the show's resident critic, some grief. Before Montgomery started, Diddy gave him a little bit of the evil eye, if you will, and said "Hi Hater," quoting from Maino's single, which samples the "Be Happy" remix that Diddy did for Mary J. Blige, back in the day.
Montgomery began to say how, with the audience reaction (which was strong), you never know, but for him, there was nothing new in the video. Diddy cut in and asked him who he was and how many hit records does he have? Before leaving the scene, Diddy planted a kiss on Montgomery's cheek. I thought it was questionable (read: rude) of Diddy, certainly, but this is TV and, well, Montgomery's a target for this sort of thing, I guess.
Montgomery
writes about the incident at the MTV Newsroom blog, noting that, "... I think he was more “TV mad” (i.e. “acting”) than he was actually upset." That makes sense. It's TV.
All of that said, I thought the video was pretty cool.
