Money Beat

Is he serious? What a loser!

OMG, LMAO...what a moron

What a pathetic hunk of sh*t and a no talent fool.

Must be tough to have to fly 1st class on comercial. Get use to it. In 10 years oil will cost so much he'll be flying coach.

BOO HOO! While the rest of us poor slobs are trying to make ends meet, this moron is probably still flying in first class. Gee, we should all have such worries.

OOOOOO, poor baby! You have to fly first class commercial instead of on your personal air-o-plane! Do you want your blanky, teddy, and some warm milk, too? Give me a break! This is not news!

Can I get you a tissue? Or do you have one in your purse? Time to sell the Maybach?

Just think of all the poor people that money could feed. What a disgusting, ungrateful ##$!@@&.

P Diddy is too stupid to know how stupid he sounds. Who is going to feel sorry for him? Madonna? Maybe he could hitch a ride with her on her jet. Her tour has started.

Puffy, P. Diddy or just plain Diddy is a blessing for us all.

AWWWW!!! lets all feel bad that diddy is flying commercial!!!! JACKASS!!! GET A LIFE!!!!!

Yeah, great idea, oil producing countries should increase their production to enable P. Diddy to fly on his Jetstream...wow...I mean wow.

you have got to be kidding, so sad to be you.

Please notify the president immediately. He must lower gas prices. Poor Ditty can't afford to burn hundreds of gallons a day to fly around the country. The US government must step in and force companies to lower gas prices. That's the American way. While you're at it, force food suppliers to lower their cost so poor Ditty's in-flight salted snacks don't put a dent in his wallet either. I don't know about you, but I'm sending Ditty a check right now.

People can't afford to drive to work and this moron is begging for oil from Saudi Arabia??? Are you serious????

This makes me want to throw up. How can someone be so self centered and then be willing to share that with the world?

You all are morons...don't you see this will benefit us all. He is speaking for all of us on a bigger scale. Look how much attention it has received already. Yes, he doesn't have to worry about money for the rest of his life and he is not speaking about us directly but at least he is speaking about the situation.

This is for real? At first I thought it was another killing satire from The Onion News Network www.theonion.com

PPP's comments are too hillarious! P Diddy's on-line message is EXACTLY what is wrong with many GenXers and GenYers...why work a little harder when you can suckle off others or have others pay your way. I've admired P Diddy's talents until today; he's shown that he is nothing more than a slacker/loser.

Morons? That is harsh. You aren't even a little bit sickened by his attitude? Good for you... it would be easier to not be bothered by it. I will try to be less moronic and more like you.

who really cares

who really cares

Wake up and smell the coffee Mr. Diddy!

I don't like P Diddy, but c'mon now. He is clearly venting and making a point about the high price of gas and oil. He doesn't seriously think the Saudis will send him fuel for his private airplane.

You people who think that are the real morons.

B E F,

If these so called "GenXers" and "GenYers" are that way, it is because your generation made them that way. Blame yourself. There are plenty of them out that, like myself, that have worked for everything they have, and even things they don't.

Oh, poor little P Diddy...can't fly his personal aircraft. Give me a break! What a loser and a moron!

Gee would like to feel sorry for him, but I doubt he has to chose between gas and groceries.

WORD WORD BIG BIRD I THINK EVERYTHING IS JUST DANDY!

You suck P Diddy and so does your music.

Diddy has no idea how much he made me laugh with his stupidity. I had tears in my eyes. This is a matter of national security! Diddy can't fly on his own plane! Y'all can't understand that.

People...He is just making a point about the outrageous fuel prices in an over the top way. He got your attention didn't he? He doesn't want, need or expect your pity. Who are the real morons??

I strongly agree with you guys is he F en serious what a dumb nut ... relaxx P diddy aka puffy daddy WHAT AN IDIOITTTTT!!!

what do you expect from a gangsta rapper LOSER! They are all the same. Ungrateful little hoodlums that have no morals and values whatsoever. They are THE corner of the demoralization of this country!

The P in P. Diddy stands for PATHETIC!

Ag; It's not we who are morons, but those who think Pathetic is doing this for anyone but himself. We've been dealing with high gas prices for months! What took him so long to voice his 'concerns'?

Try getting into another form of music that people actually care about and appreciate .. quit taking advantage of the gullible (children and youngsters) who have no idea what good music really is OR I SHOULD say - was! It sure doesn't exist in your genre!

Poor Diddy, PDiddy, Puff Daddy, Silly Puddy or whatever he calls himself these days for attention has to fly commercial. Should we really feel sorry for him? A man who uses other people to take the wrap for him (Shine). I wish ABC News would realize he doesn't care about oil. He's just using this for a publicity stunt.

I thought this was an article from The Onion... Funny stuff...

Hate to tell you, but the people in Saudi are not your "brothers and sisters."
What a sap.

What a LOSER & MORON! We should all feel sorry for this no talent "gangsta" wannabe. What a role model for our youth. I wonder if he ever gives any money to charity? I bet not.

"please send me some oil from my jet"
What does that mean?

Poor dippy is o-pressed. Maybe Obama will help him.

What a no-talent jackass....

Maybe it's a conspiracy by "da man" to get poor p-pissy.

Yo Diddy! Ur awesome, but try being a single Mom of 2! Dat is ruff baby!! Keep doin u xoxo

You're a has-been anyway, Sean. Time to come down to Earth.

Is he serious? Who is supposed to feel sorry for him. I can't even afford coach! I have to quit my job of 6 years to find one closer to home because of the gas prices and that's ONLY costing ME $300 a month!
$300 vs $250k.

Holly u r wrong for saying that rappers are the demoralizing factor in america allways blaming things on the minorities hell Kid Rock talks trash on his songs so does Madonna, Amy Crackhouse, lets not forget Jim Morrison, The guy that sings i want to be a rock star,,should i quote some of those lyrics huh, come on people there has been wrong doing in this country long before rap was here Diddy nows that there is an audience there for him and if he tells someone then maybe they'll tell another and the message can get to those stubborn gray-haired fools up in washington they are the tyrants that are ruining this country with their ancient ways of politics. Catch up to reality Holly get your head out of your ars,,that right your ars cir. 1875

No-talent loser. Get a real job.

Huey-

Your lack of diction and punctuation speaks volumes! As for Madonna and the likes, I lump those people in with the rappers. If you can prove that one iota of their "music" is beneficial, I'll eat my words. But, you can't because the fact is is that there are a plethora of study-based statistics that prove that the "gansta rap" is nothing but crap! (I thought I would use the word "crap" since you seem to have a limited vocabulary. I thought I'd help you out. ;) )

I always thought he was a jerk! Welcome to the real world.

Hey Diddy, Run for office as a democratic environmentalist demagogue. Then you can fly your jet all you want at taxpayer expense.

This guy is the biggest idiot ever. There are people starving and all he has to complain about is that he has to fly commercial? Someone needs to knock him upside the head and bring him into the real world.

That last guy said,"Just think of all the poor people that money could feed???????"

There's nobody starving in this country!!!!Were all fat and sassy,eatin big macs,pizza,tacos............
And he is already flyin coach!!! Read the whole article or watch the whole film you dumb asses!!!! My bruvva is doin his part..

Go feed some people and forget about your private jet. The rest of do not care.

Pee Diddy - you are da man!!! Your understanding of the oil issue is breathtaking.

jon jonnson; My bruvva is doing his part because he no longer wants to spend a quarter million round trip! LOL!

I think he was simply trying to be humorous... Lighten up...

Hope this type of attitude from ostentatious "idols and personalities" irks a lot of people, especially the idiots that buy his 'prestigious clothing line' and 'productions'. He sounds worst than Leona Helmsley: "Only the little people fly commercial" he wanted to say.

Typical of his species, a whiner and a loser.

I read story and laughed my a$$ off. It was funny.

I feel sorry for all of you people who simply don't see that this was intended to be a light moment and have jumped onto the board with a bunch of derogatory comments. Lighten up already.

Diddy has more money that most of you can ever dream of! Nothing wrong with having a laugh at his expense.

I THINK WE SHOULD DO A TELETHON FOR P.DIDDY. IT'S SAD WHEN PEOPLE CAN'T FLY THEIR OWN PLANES OR DRIVE THEIR OWN LARGE SUVS OR DRIVE ALONE TO WORK. OR LIVE IN LARGE HOME OR COMPLAIN ABOUT A STUPID RAPPER. MAYBE WE SHOULD DO A TELETHON TO ALL YOU MORONS THAT ARE JEALOUS OF P.DIDDY. THE POINT IS...MOST PEOPLE WHO COMPLAIN OF A $4.0 A GALLON GAS DON'T REALIZE THAT IT'S $10 A GALLON IN EUROPE. WHAT ARE YOU MORONS COMPLAINING ABOUT? I THINK HE'S PLAYING A JOKE ON YA'ALL...AND MAKING EVERYONE REALIZE HOW DUMB THEY SOUND COMPLAINING ABOUT GAS PRICES WHILE DRIVING A SUV. GET IT? HE'S USING SATIRE TO POLK FUN OF YOU!!!!

TFB!!

For you that defend his statements as simply an attempt to be funny still underscores what an idiot he is.

Good grief....you really can't tell he's being sarcastic? Do you think he's really that out of touch with reality? I think he was just trying to be funny...but funny is hard, and he just came out stupid. But not that he was serious.

I don't think he was trying to be funny at all. I think he was genuinely put out! He may have been trying to be glib with the Saudi brotheren remark, but his PR man had nothing to say. That sealed it for me. Of course, now he will spin his whine into a into a witty ditty.

people first off don't blame other races for your down fall,the white man or should i say woman first starting rap.i do believe it was blondie,with the hit track man from mars.other races just took it to the next level.but diddy just did'nt

Typical self centered (c)rapper. Put all the (c)rappers in a locked room together and give them all loaded guns. Save the planet from offensive sub-human lifeforms.

this guy is broke, dumb and uninformed - ignore him!

I think Diddy is smart in asking oil producing countries for oil for his jet. He is a first-class rapper and should not be flying with other people. Without his jet, his image could be tarnished. He is showing the world that even Diddy is having problems with high gas prices and is willing to do something about it. Diddy is an American icon and a hero in my book!

swandarox said; "He is a first-class rapper and should not be flying with other people. Without his jet, his image could be tarnished.

If not, it's about the dumbest thing I ever heard.

This is a story of great suffering. Puffy we have your back.

What a bafoon.

I hear racial undertones about rap
music and the way someone speaks.
The people that belittle there speech I'm sure are perfect human beings of this great country that allows everyone to have a voice.
I don't care for rap music either but it has a right to be out there just like the music you like.

must be mismanaging his money thought he was smarter than that music sucked but he diversified to continue making cash maybe his stuff is not so relevant anymore and that is why he cant afford to fly his own plane. you do not see travolta whining and he has a 737 and at one time diddy had a personal fortune of 220 million or more musta wasted it all on cristal and broads

Maybe its time to ground that Gulfstream 550 and fly something a little more efficient. TBM-850 single-engine turboprops are quick and burn a LOT less Jet-A.

What an [expletive] [expletive] [expletive]!

As I am sure this is his way of trying to make a point, I feel the real funny thing about this video is him saying that he is pursuing a "movie career" To borrow a movie line..... "no talent ass clown"

Sounds like a bunch of jelous people hear. Hes feeling the crunch just as bad as we all are just in anthor pay brackett.

ps. The man had nothing and now he's a millionar.

Are you kidding me?!?!?! He makes more money than a lot of people out there and he is whining about flying commercial because of gas?!?? He makes himself sound like a total [expletive) bag!!!!!

You guys are ridiculous. This articlie is about the price of gas being so high that it becomes cost efficient for a person who uses his private plane for business to fly commercial.
Why are you guys jumping on P. Diddy???
Are you voting for McCain for the same reason?

A single tear rolls down my cheek...

If it costs only $100,000 to fly a jet out to LA...well you know what that's just lunacy anyway. Most Americans never even see that much money at one time, let alone blow it on a selfish polluting plane ride. PDiddy another richie rich that needs to come back down to earth.

Sooo let me put dis in perseptive.. Ah um snorted up my jet n now da brothas should send me oil from my jet yall cuz its not good for mah image.

people BUY this cRap? Why arent morons ALL rich?

I don't know who is more stupid, P. Diddy or all you Posters that are surprised that he would make such a self-centered, dim-witted remark...actually I'm probably the most stupid for wasting 60 seconds writing this post.

PPOnDiddy, yep. Our parliamentry procedures here on ABC blogs... SHAMEFUL, I tell me, SHAMEFUL!

So anyway. How idiotic is it to pay that much for a round trip flight.. which is pure BS, and then think the ONLY alternative is AA??

drrr ever hear of a charter-flight, mowron?

Louis Brown - I think people, me included, are poking fun at Diddy because he is a negative influence on society. Obama has the potential to be a positive force. Big difference between the two. Good day sir.

Y'all can kiss my A$$!

Obama's next Secretary of Transportation made his first policy statement.

If you can afford a jet, you can afford the gas.

Go P Diddy you tell em

The dumbest rich guy ever.

Seriously though ...y'all wanna make out? I've got lube?

Yo just cause I got rich off of sampling clips from other people's songs and looping it, and then rapping over it, doesn't mean I ain't got talent. Y'all know Diddy goin' bring it live and di-rect fo ya, word 'em up playboy! Give me some oil Bin Laden or whoever y'all got selling the barrels and whatnot! Respect!

Damn...I definitely made the right choice.

Truly, what an idiot. I can't believe this guy is even successful. He's neither bright, talented, good-looking or even interesting. What's the draw? Why is he making money in entertainment????

Shut the hell up Diddy, you gangsta rapping moron.

I know dat you just being da fool dat you is, but shut da hell up anyways... pleez.

So boys and girls don't feel bad if you are stupid, you can still grow up to be a rap star.

LOLOLOL oh man. Hey Diddy, why don't you move to Saudi Arabia to be with your "brothers". Yeah you will love it there and fuel for your jet is cheap. Go on...I said move muther fu*ker. Lol, what a pathetic loser and so is anyone who is defending this moron.

He may "just be making a point" but it's a rediculous way to make one. It actually makes a joke of a real problem...

If the gas prices were only effecting jack asses and their ability to fly their private jets it wouldn't be much of a real problem now would it.

If he wanted to bring REAL attention to the problem he would have focused on the families that are struggling because the high fuel prices are effecting every aspect of life..

you people defending him are the morons ffs

Maybe if he would quit having kids with every woman that walks by, he would have more gas money.

Have only one thing to say about Diddy having to fly commercial. POOOORRRRRR BBBBAAABBBYYYY.

Do your thing, Diddy. Some people hate and can's relate or appreciate, congratulate and celebrate your success. They would be more than happy to fly with you once you gas up!

Just further proves that money can't buy class or manners
