Rap superstar and entrepreneur Sean “Diddy” Combs famous for his cool hip hop music videos, his smash hit rap songs and collaborations with rap legends such as the Notorious BIG brought together the whole Bad Boy family for the recent Vibe Magazine`s "Juice Issue". Featured in the Vibe Magazine cover photo above is Dirty Money, Rick Ross, R&B singer Cassie, Janelle Monet and Red Cafe.
In the revealing and informative interview with Vibe Magazine Diddy discusses his recent interview with journalist Martin Bashir and the controversial question of him giving his son Justin Combs a $300,000 dollar Maybach car for his sixteenth birthday on the popular MTV show Sweet Sixteen. He also talks about his relationship with Hip hop stars Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj and much more in this entertaining interview. Read excerpts below.
What happened during the Martin Bashir interview on Nightline?
There were times in the interview when I had to give him an ultimatum. The questions weren’t being handled the right way. In hindsight, when I saw him I shouldn’t had done the interview because I know the style of interview that he does. The whole thing about giving a Maybach to my son, that’s really like a racist question. You don’t ask White people what they buy their kids. And they buy ‘em Porsches and convertible Bentleys and it ain’t no question. It’s really a racist question and put things back in perspective with money and the way that people still look at you. And I’m not saying that consciously he’s a racist. But he probably don’t even realize that he would not ask Steve Jobs that. He would be like Steve Jobs has that money and that’s the gift his kid is supposed to get.
Are the comments from Lil’ Kim about Nicki disheartening?
When I heard her say what she said, it didn’t really affect me. I didn’t get mad at her or anything like that. I knew how she felt. I ain’t agree with it. But also I know the motivation. I know that people say, “Oh, he’s trying to get a new Lil’ Kim.” I guess people will see in time. Yeah, Nicki’s had flavored wigs on, but besides that it ain’t even the same approach to the writing.
