MTV has reflections from T.I., 50 Cent and Swizz Beatz on the big Screamfest show in New York where T.I., 50, Swizz, Diddy, Kanye and Jay-Z all shared the stage.

"Just anybody couldn't have gotten all those people up there at one time," T.I. boasted. "It has to be a person of great reputation with great social standing in this neighborhood we call hip-hop. I'm real proud of that. It's not a lot of people who's cool with 50 and cool with Puff and good with Kanye and cool with Swizz and still get love in the Garden. Especially being in the Garden and being from the South. It's not a lot of people who could have pulled that off. Puff called me and said, 'Don't take that lightly. It's not a lot of New York n---as who could have pulled that off. I don't think I could have gotten all y'all n---as up there at one time like that.' I said, 'Yeah, I recognize it and appreciate it definitely.' "

Theo asked:

I heard there was gonna be a remix to "I Get Money" by 50 Cent with Diddy and Jay-Z. Any idea if it's true?

Like you say, there are some rumors floating around that 50 Cent might be putting together a Forbes remix (my term for it) to "I Get Money" that would feature Jay-Z and Diddy (and maybe Kanye). If you remember, Jay-Z, 50 and Diddy were the top 3 in Forbes recent hip hop money makers list.

Despite the fact that 50 is saying he doesn't like Diddy or Jay (i.e., they're not all friends), I'd love to see this happen. I like "I Get Money" a lot and adding Jay-Z and Diddy to it (I'm a Jay fan and you all know how big a Diddy fan I am) would be awesome. Will it happen? Who knows? It's a rumor, so keep it like that.

I'm touching base with people trying to find out if there is any truth to it at all. Bad Boy PR has no idea, but "wouldn't be surprised." An e-mail to Universal Music (PR behind 50's new album) has not been responded to, yet, and I'm off to contact Diddy's publicist now. I'll let you know if I hear back.

On a Diddy related note:

Burger King Holdings Inc. posted a fourth-quarter profit Friday versus a loss a year earlier, fueled by strong late-night and breakfast sales and flashy marketing as it completed its first year as a publicly traded company. Full-year profit rose more than five-fold to $148 million. ...

During the quarter, Burger King said it was testing a new trans fat-free cooking oil blend and began opening its restaurants until midnight or later seven days a week -- advertising the new hours in a campaign with hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs.

At last night's Screamfest tour stop at Madison Square Garden in New York, Diddy came out for "It's Goin' Down" with Yung Joc and for a star studded set from T.I. that featured Diddy alongside Jay-Z, Kanye West, 50 Cent, Wyclef Jean and Swizz Beatz. Must have been a great show. The picture below features, from left to right, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Diddy and 50 Cent. Read the full press release below the photo.

One detail that I forgot to highlight from the "Notorious"/George Tillman press release is that Diddy will be executive producing the film. Good to see.

From an interview with LAist:

You ghostwrote on Diddy's Press Play, was it difficult writing for someone so famous? How did that gig come along?

It was great, it was a challenge. It was scary, it was new territory for me which is why I took the opportunity to get behind the scenes. I got to see what its like for a million dollar mogul to put a record together opposed to how I would do it. I got to see what a producer offers someone like Diddy opposed to what they would do for me, you know it was little things like that that were educational but also I got to learn a lot about work ethics. I saw we both we have the same kind of work ethics but at the same time we’re different, and I am learning how to incorporate those things that he does into my own hustle. Work ethics of great businessmen like Diddy or a Bill Gates are different from say a talented prodigy. Prodigies have all the talent but sometimes lack the hustle, and that’s why you’ll hear a girl on the radio who doesn’t have half the talent as the girl who sings in your church, but the one on the radio had that extra something to get her there.

Hearing him say “Yo your work ethic is incredible,” meant a lot to me since he’s worked with a lot of artists and been around so many talented people. This doesn’t have anything to do with people’s perspective of him, you know the way people blame him for the downfall of urban music or what have you, I’m just talking about what it was like to be alongside him every day in the studios, it was just so educational.

In the latest issue of OK! Magazine, Kim Porter discusses the split with Diddy. BallerStatus.com and the New York Daily News all have quotes.

"I'd been in an on-again, off-again relationship with Mr. Combs for about 10 years, and it came to a point where it was time for me to move on with my life," Porter told the magazine. "I had invested a lot of time in that relationship, and it wasn't going where it should have been going. So it was time to [end it]. In a relationship, it's important that the people are on the same page at the same time. And we weren't on the same page."

"Marriage was something that we discussed, but it didn't determine what my relationship meant with him," says Porter. "We had a lot of years together, and there was a lot of happiness ... [But] marriage really wasn't the top priority on the list.

"I will never sit here and say that Puffy — or any man — is 100% faithful. I just don't believe it. Some of you are, but I'm not going to sit here and say that I didn't believe that he cheated on me. ... I'm aware that he's cheated. Has it affected the trust value? Yes, of course."
