Sick of high gas prices? Don’t worry…Diddy feels your pain. In a video diatribe, the hip hop mogul/purveyor of bling/frequent name-changer reveals that the skyrocketing price of oil has caused him to (gasp!) fly commercial. When Diddy leaves his private jet at home, you know the situation is dire. But Diddy isn’t spending his time blaming speculators for the spike in oil like most of Congress, or instituting a hedging program on his fuel like most U.S. airlines. Instead, in true player fashion, he’s giving a shout-out to all of his “Saudi Arabian brothers and sisters” asking “y’all to send me some oil for my jet.” If his associates don’t come through, perhaps Diddy could act as a celebrity witness if, as expected, Congress reopens hearings on speculation in the fall, bringing some much-needed hip-hop flavor to the proceedings. Word.
