From
TeenHollywood.com:
Rap mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs has squashed reports he is planning to marry longterm girlfriend Kim Porter next month.
The
Irish Examiner is reporting that
Walter "King Tut" Johnson told King Magazine:
"(I was told) if you don't play ball and you don't give us Puff (Combs), you goin' down (sic).
"(I told them) I'm not testifying for anybody and I'm not testifying against anybody."
Seriously, enough of this. I've read interview after interview since he left Bad Boy. And I have seen it more than once where he says he doesn't want to create drama or to say bad things about Diddy and then... he goes and does it in the same interview! It's getting old, man. If he wants to takes jabs at Diddy, fine. Just don't do it after saying you're not going to. It's annoying. Something I've
said previously:
Anyway, with Loon, for the majority of people who know who he is, they know him or first heard of him because of Diddy. Some artists seem to forget who got them their initial burst of recognition once they get big and everyone knows who they are. But, who were the people who first made the general public aware of you and gave you that shot? What's the biggest thing Loon has done to date? I Need a Girl, specifically the part one remix, which reached number 2 on the Billboard 100. Why was that possible? Diddy/Bad Boy. It's good that he appears to know that ... and hopefully he'll keep that in mind. They appear to still be cool, which is good, if he's writing for Diddy's upcoming album.
Don't get me wrong, though, I like Loon. I really liked his album (I have two copies of it, actually) and many of the tracks he's appeared on for other artists, Bad Boy and otherwise...
My feelings on him have really turned on him since then. Just do your music and stop the other stuff because it makes it look like you're trying to get attention when most of your interview is you talking about other people (Diddy, Jim Jones, Mase) as opposed to talking about yourself.
Kind of a
funny throw away line in an article at IGN about the 103 inch plasma TV:
CES-goers, tech-fans, and Diddy take note: Panasonic has announced that they will soon be making the largest plasma screen in the world available to the (not so)general public.
Apparently, Jamie Foxx bet Diddy that he (Foxx) could hold a great party for $500... and he did it. Not sure that it's news, but there you go!

In an
MTV News RAW interview, Diddy talked a bit about his album and the inspiration for it. Worth watching. Some notable bits:
He talked about a track called "The Future" (played a little of it), which is produced by Havoc. He mentioned that he worked with Pharoahe Monch on it. The album will feature production from Pharrell, Timbaland, Kanye and Just Blaze.
He talks about pairing himself with singers, with good voices. These include Fergie, Christina Agulera ("Tell Me"), Mary J. Blige, Nicole Scherzinger ("Come to Me"), Avant and Brandy ("Thought You Said").
He says: "We could put all of the marketing spin on it all we want. Either it's hot or it's not."

If you watch episode number 5 of Making the Band 3, when the girls are first driving away in the blue car ("it's a Bentley to you, but to me it's a blue car"), you can hear a quick rhyme from Diddy and then the girls start singing as if in the Showstopper track. Could the single version feature Diddy and
Yung Joc? We'll have to wait and see...
