Ballers cut back: Diddy and Jay-Z suffer (a little) from bad economy
OK everyone, it's official: this gas crisis cannot go on any longer because Sean "Diddy" Combs, who made $35 million this year, has been forced to fly commercial! Gas prices are too high and now the rapper is flying coach on American Airlines instead of living the life aboard his private jet en route to L.A. twice a month to pursue an acting career. Life just isn't fair! Says Diddy:
"I want to give a shout out to all my Saudi Arabian brothers and sisters and all my brothers and sisters from all the countries that have oil, if you could all please send me some oil for my jet I would truly appreciate it." Check out Diddy's YouTube video he made live from an actual airport terminal! It's a tragic day in America. (I hope my sarcasm is translating across the internet.)
In related news, Jay-Z and his partners are selling their 40/40 Club in Las Vegas for an undisclosed amount after opening in January. "The sale is a great business decision; we are delighted," says Jay-Z. "We look forward to expanding the brand even further to Chicago and Tokyo." Ehh, sounds like a cover-up to us. Why sell after such a short time when you invested so much?
Do you feel any pity for these guys? [UPI][OMG][Dlisted]
