Reports Boom Box:

Diddy does everything in excess. From his music videos to his children’s birthday parties, there’s always shiny gold, lavish cars, beautiful women and fine bubbly surrounding him. As news comes that he’s throwing a private affair following the 54th Annual Grammy Awards on Feb. 12, it’s no surprise that a pass to the event cost a whopping $50,000 a piece. In his world, that’s the price of a movie ticket.

The event, which will be held at the Playboy Mansion in L.A., is set to have a red carpet, celebrity honors, DJ awards, a live performance, cocktail reception, open bar and open buffet. While $50,000 is the highest ticket price, people with less cash flow can opt for the more affordable yet still hefty sum of $1,500. There’s also a $15,000 and $25,000 option.

TMZ reports that the $50,000 package doesn’t just get you in the swanky establishment, it also is loaded with extras. Those wishing to empty out their bank account to party with Diddy will get access to two cabanas, VIP admission for 20 people, a buffet dinner, open bar, free bottle service and 15 female promotional models to “service” you.

But the cash being shelled out won’t necessarily go straight to the Bad Boy Records mogul’s pockets. Proceeds will benefit the Angelwish Foundation, which helps children afflicted by HIV/AIDS.

I see said the blind man. And now…Diddy for the win.

Reports B&C:

Sources with knowledge of the Revolt playbook describe it as a music and music news channel with an urban skew. One described it as the old days of MTV, but for more of the African American audience. The venture is well funded, say the sources.

Former MTV programming chief Andy Schuon is involved with Revolt, according to sources. In 2006, Schuon headed up a music channel called International Music Feed (IMF), which was acquired by Ovation TV before being discontinued.

Comcast will provide distribution as part of its commitment to the FCC to help launch minority owned networks. In April, Comcast began soliciting proposals for “independent channels,” according to its press materials. It plans to launch 10 over the next eight years, including eight Hispanic or African American owned channels, and began accepting proposals for the first three last spring.

Says Shyne to MTV:

“As far as Puff is concerned, that’s been a long time coming,” Shyne exclusively told MTV News of the conversation he and the Bad Boy CEO had earlier this month. “He had reached out to me twice while I was in the pen, but I just wasn’t ready for it.”

“I felt how I felt, I said what I said. In retrospect, when you looked at the way he handled it, he held it down, he wore it,” Shyne said of Diddy. “He ain’t had nothing to say; always had good things to say. It was always, ‘Yo, whatever Shyne need, we got him.’ ”

During his incarceration, Shyne wasn’t ready to reconcile, but after he had a dream about their mutual friend Anthony “Wolf” Jones, he reached out to Diddy. “Our relationship wasn’t just business; it wasn’t me just being a rapper on Bad Boy. We had a solid relationship, we had a brotherhood, me, him and Wolf, and I just felt the need to just reach out, because again, he just kept it tall no matter what I said,” Shyne explained.

“For me, the conversation was a confirmation of what I felt. Son kept it super tall, and that’s what it’s about. When a man says, ‘Listen, as a man, I make mistakes and I own that.’ What could you do?”

“I just feel real good about moving on with our relationship. Me and son, we gonna get together in Paris — I’m in Paris right now. We gonna get together in a couple of weeks, and we gonna sit at the roundtable.”

Reports SOHH:

Initially believed to be wanted solely by Kanye West and Rick Ross, Montana claims he is receiving mulitple record deal situations.

“Shout out ot everybody who’s been showing me love — It’s everybody. I didn’t really make a decision yet. But shout out to everybody that’s been showing me love. Shout out to Jay-Z, shout out to Kanye, definitely shout out to Puff, shout out to my brother Rick Ross, shout out to Sony, shout out to Def Jam, shout out to Interscope, shout out to everybody. I love everybody, man. I just want to make the right decision and keep the music coming. I’m just focused on the music.”

That is all.

Reports BET:

The music mogul cut the ribbon on Oct. 27 on his new 2,000-square-foot Sean John men’s store that’s perched right in the center of the denim and contemporary men’s floor in the department store. The placement showcases sportswear and accessories with a spot just for denim. They also feature an interactive 46-inch touch screen video display that allows customers to search for and shop additional Sean John products on macys.com and seanjohn.com (handy for when the store is out of any particular item), as well as watch videos and interact with the brand on Facebook and Twitter.

“We’re very, very proud today to open one of many shops to come and to keep growing and evolving our partnership with Macy’s — the greatest retailers in the world,” Diddy told the crowd at the launch.

Indeed, there’s a lot more from where that came from. Last month the brand claimed a 790-square-foot shop in Macy’s Union Square flagship in San Francisco and by 2012 there are plans to open 10 more shops in other key Macy’s stores around the country.

Back in May 2010, Sean John signed an exclusive distribution agreement for its men’s sportswear with Macy’s, which now carries the line in 424 stores.

That is all.

Reports TMZ:

Diddy is on a mission to find the person who stole the numbers to his personal American Express Black Card and posted them on a web site this week … TMZ has learned.

Earlier this week, someone who clearly has a beef with Diddy, posted copies of the rap mogul’s super exclusive credit card on a website, along with his passport and private phone numbers.

The website where the info is posted seems to make a vague reference to the ridiculous rumors that Diddy is a member of the Illuminati … a secret society rumored to run the world.

Sources close to Diddy tell us … he is aware of the situation and has launched an internal investigation to find the person responsible.

A rep for Diddy had no comment.

Writes Luke:

I’ve got a message for Lil Wayne, his Cash Money Brothers, DJ Khaled, Puff Daddy and all the rappers from other parts of the country who now live in Miami. I’m tired of seeing these cats using up our beaches, soaking up our sunshine, taking over the nightclubs, and sleeping with our women without investing anything into the community. I want to know when Lil Wayne is going to do more than show up courtside at the American Airlines Arena. Hell, it’s not like he paid for them anyway. You know he got comped.

This free loading and mooching of my city has got to stop. There used to be a day when out of town rappers were scared to throw their weight around Miami. It didn’t matter if they were coming from New York or Los Angeles, they knew better than to act like they owned this mother fucker.

Artists knew better than to come to Miami and disrespect us.But now folks in Miami’s entertainment industry have gone soft, turning into a bunch of groupies just because they want to say they drank Rozay with the Cash Money crew.

Just cause Lil Wayne and DJ Khaled are from New Orleans doesn’t mean they don’t have to be a part of the community. They’re getting rich under fun and sun. They rap in their songs about King of Diamonds and LIV nightclub, where Lil Wayne was partying it up with Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks after they beat the Miami Heat for the NBA championship.

What kind of sell-out move is that? I want to see Lil Wayne, DJ Khaled, Puff Daddy and all their boys start doing more for Miami. I want to see them doing fundraisers to help youth sports and after school programs. I want to see them at FCAT rallies. I want to see them do like Pitbull who works closely with the Kiwanis Club in Little Havana and DJ Irie who puts on a charity weekend for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

I’m giving them a deadline. They got until January 1. If I don’t see them giving back to the Magic City, I’m gonna have their Miami cards revoked. They won’t be getting into any more nightclubs. They won’t be able to go near our women. And Lil Wayne is gonna have to find floor seats for New Orleans Hornets home games because he won’t be allowed inside the Triple A.

I see said the blind man. And now…

That is all.

Says Kenny Burns to MTV:

“Puff and I got a long history of knowing each other and it’s really nothing we can’t talk out, because we done been through a lot,” Burns told MTV News.

In the clip, Diddy — who was hosting a BET Hip Hop Awards afterparty on Saturday alongside T.I. — was on the microphone hyping up the crowd. At one point, the music stopped and the Bad Boy CEO barked at a patron for drinking his rival Grey Goose. “Bitch-ass n—a, put that sh– down,” he yelled into the mic before appearing to throw a piece of ice.

After Diddy’s tirade, T.I., who was just released from prison and is currently on probation, grabbed the mic to reason with his collaborator and friend to let the people drink what they want.

V-103 radio host Kenny Burns is also seen on the tape, and to some, it appeared that Diddy’s anger was directed at him. Not the case, said Burns, who has an endorsement deal with Grey Goose. “The only truth to that is that I’m an ambassador for Grey Goose and that he is an ambassador for Ciroc,” he said. “At the end of the day, no, he was not talking to me. He was actually going at somebody in my booth. He made a mention in a song, ‘Everybody put your bottles up,’ and my table happened to be in front of his, and we were all drinking Grey Goose.”

Burns insists that he was trying to play peacemaker, helping protect Puff’s image and his friend as well. “I thought I’d jump in it and put my man back where he was supposed to be so he wasn’t in harm’s way and then climb up on the ledge and holla at Puff,” he said. “At the end of the day, he’s an icon of our generation. He don’t need that look.”

During a Wild 105.7 interview in Atlanta, T.I. clarified that he wasn’t disrespecting Diddy but simply trying to “defuse the situation.” Diddy has since taken to Twitter to apologize for his actions, and Kenny Burns said it has all been resolved. “Immediately after the club, myself and him went behind the cars and talked like men,” he said. “We talked it out.”

And now…Diddy apologizes:

And now…

This is EbenGregory.com…telling you clap for ‘em.

I see said the blind man. And now…

This is EbenGregory.com…telling you T.I. keeps it real.

According to our sources, Diddy became enraged after close to 30 bottles of Grey Goose were ordered and brought to several of the VIP booths next to his. Former Roc-A-Fella VP Kenny Burns, who also had a VIP booth close to Diddy, also represented his brand with several bottles of Grey Goose at his tables as well. Diddy, who co-owns Ciroc, was not pleased that so many people were drinking Grey Goose and let his feelings be known as seen in the video below.

Eventually TI stepped in to try and calm Diddy down saying:

What’s going on in this muthaf–ka. I’m going to tell you like this, you will not f–k my hundred million up for nothing in this muthaf–ka. I don’t give a f–k what’s going on. I ain’t for that fight s–t. I will get the f–k on out of this b—h and let ya’ll have it. I’ve done enough time. Ain’t nobody else in this muthaf–ka talking about fighting and have did time. I ain’t trying to do it. Puff you got too much money for that sh-t nicca. Let them n***a’s drink what the f–k they wanna drink, f–k that s–t. They ain’t getting money for drinking that sh-t, they paid to drink that sh-t. I love you and will go to war for you but come on man!

Kenny Burns eventually made his way over to Diddy and the two resolved the issue. Despite rampant reports, there was no fight and the party eventually continued without incident.
