In a recent interview, Diddy told MTV that he fully approves of the casting decisions from the Biggy biopic Notorious. "People asked me years ago who you'd want to play me, and I said Derek
Luke ... I got to see him do his thing, and it
was scary for me. I had to leave, 'cause he was acting just like me." And what does Diddy think of Gravy as Biggy? "Gravy's killing it. If I tell you he's killing it, then that's all we
need to say..."
Another video produced by Diddy's "Diddy TV" YouTube channel. Instead of a grand self-promotion video, this one actually has a real purpose as it follows Diddy when he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Friday.
Before the Bentleys and Rolls Royce Phantoms, Diddy drove a red BMW 3 series during his early hey-days. And of course only Diddy would have a license plate that reads "MONEY." This photo was taken from the set of Notorious where Diddy who is exec-producing got to re-live his past with this similar model car for the movie. Those close to the film know that Diddy, played by Derek Luke, has a major role as Notorious is almost part of Diddy's own story of making it big as well. Via: NahRight & Animal
A friend of mine on Diddy's management team sent me this. It's a brand spanking new video montage of all of Diddy's accomplishments in celebration of his upcoming star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this Friday. I'll be there fo shiz. In the Batman costume along with all the other freaks who dress up there. Anyways, I guess Diddy was feeling a little low about himself and decided he needed a pick me up. I wouldn't be surprised if he directed this video.
Diddy shows his love for his hometown as part of the New York City Tourism board's recent ad campaign entitled "Ask The Locals." Other celebs in the campaign include Kevin Bacon, Lindsay Price and Matt Lauer. An interesting assortment of people if you ask me. I really hope Staten Island creates an "Ask The Locals" campaign with RZA, GZA and Meth as their spokespeople. Via: Highbrid Nation
The hit ABC TV movie "A Raisin in the Sun" starring Diddy, Sanaa Lathan and Phylicia Rashad will now be coming to DVD on May 13th. The TV film was a ratings success for ABC as critics also applauded Diddy's performance as well. This is the official DVD artwork courtesy of Sony. Check out the official DVD site here.
Diddy's MTV special "If I Were King" aired last night and it was a pretty interesting inside look at Diddy, his Sean John clothing line and how he faces pressuring during Fashion Week. And no Diddy MTV special would be complete without a clip of him flippin' out...so here you go!
Diddy will be celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Sean John with an MTV documentary called "If I Were King." Documentary chronicles Diddy's life in the fashion world and the rise of the Sean John label for the past ten years. You can catch "If I Were King" on MTV this Wednesday at 10pm EST. Video here is a preview but just a warning that it's a little choppy. Via: Repcodes
One must applaud Diddy's business sense. Not only has his "Making the Band" show given him millions in producer and owner fees from MTV, but more important, the show allows Diddy to market whatever the heck he wants to millions of viewers for free...
Not only is Diddy making some serious money from his partnership with Ciroc Vodka, but now he plans to launch a car service for drunk celebs...who probably drank too much Ciroc Vodka. The image above is a photo of Diddy's soon-to-be #1 clients for this service. This is genius if you ask me. It's like owning a Roscoe's Fried Chicken and a gym in the same hood. "Hey eat some of my delicious fried chicken smothered in gravy! (After customer finishes eating) Feeling a little overweight? Well come work out at my gym too!" No b!tch-a$$ness here folks! (Via: US)
What you think? Bad idea or is Diddy proving he's a straight up biznass man?
