Yung Joc is featured with an opening verse on "Magic City," a new track from singer Lloyd, who recently signed to Interscope.

I reached out to Red Cafe on Twitter to ask how the remix to "I'm Ill" was coming along and he replied saying that it would premiere next week. Stay tuned.

During a recent club appearance, Diddy said that if you weren't drinking Ciroc, you were drinking "pee pee." Diddy himself drinks more than just Ciroc, so of course, this was a marketing stunt. Reports indicate he said it in a club in New York, but I know he said it in a club in Miami. So, maybe he's said it more than once.

Anyway, this marketing stunt has begotten another marketing stunt. Martin Silver, who owns vodka brand Georgi Argent, put out a press release demanding an apology and promising to deliver a toilet full of Ciroc to Diddy's office and he followed through, according to reports by the New York Daily News and My Fox New York.

Honestly, it didn't seem like it got all that much attention as far as people actually showing up (see the clip below), but it's been successful because it was picked up by many outlets online (and probably offline) and put the brand in front of people who hadn't heard of it (like myself, a non-drinker) and there is always a segment of people who dislike a celebrity or public figure, so the stunt will resonate with those folks, as well.


Pretty funny that protesting Ciroc actually involves buying more Ciroc. But, that's the point, I think. At the end of the day, this will likely lead to more sales for both vodka brands. The chances of Diddy apologizing for such an off-hand statement are probably between slim and none, but Mr. Silver likely knows that and doesn't even want an apology. It's a show; it's entertainment. It's marketing.

Back in August, we reported that Red Cafe would be a featured artist on Kristine Elezaj's "Living Dream." This was followed with a free download, which remains online.

Over on the NBTV Studios website, you can check out some behind the scenes footage for them recording the track.

Earlier this month, a publicist for Diddy confirmed to BBC that he had an interest in some sort of investment in an English football club.

The team most commonly referred to in speculation was Crystal Palace. The administrator for Crystal Palace, Brendan Guilfoyle, told the Bromley Times that Diddy "has shown a desire to help, but sadly that desire does not extend to money."

Vibe is reporting that Dirty Money will perform "Hello, Goodmorning" on American Idol, next Wednesday at 9 PM ET on FOX. The U.S. version of the track features T.I., but it's unclear if the Atlanta-based rapper will appear on American Idol for the performance.

Below, check out the the full music video for Red Cafe's "I'm Ill" featuring Fabolous care of Cafe's Twitter. Co-starring Jadakiss, the clip also features cameos from Akon, Sheek Louch and Grafh, among others.

Hit play on the clip below to hear Marina Chello's "Not Myself." According to her YouTube, it's an original song intended for her upcoming debut album, "What's Done is Done."

Despite the video player saying the clip is 4:48 long, it only plays through 2:53, at the time of writing.
