Diddy and "Victim": Buddies for 13 Years!

Smackdown? What smackdown? Sources tell TMZ that P. Diddy and Steven Acevedo -- that guy he supposedly slugged last Saturday -- have actually been friends for 13 years, and that they worked out their differences last night, sitting at the same table at Butter! What's more, their little dust-up definitely wasn't over a woman, we've learned.

Our cameras caught Diddy and Acevedo as they left the club -- just ten minutes after each other -- and neither of them would talk about what, if anything, transpired. Acevedo, for his part, seemed a little stunned by all the sudden attention; one of his friends urged him to get into a car before more questions were asked.

Though multiple sources suggested that Diddy might turn himself in to the law today, his big-shot attorney, Benjamin Brafman, said in a statement that Diddy "is not going to be arrested today. We are hopeful that this matter will be resolved without the filing of any criminal charges as this was a disagreement among acquaintances, not a criminal assault."

Sounds like someone wanted to make a quick buck off Diddy and provoked him. Betcha some money changed hands under the table to make it go away. Either way Diddy gets more publicity for a story blown out of proportion.

The guy has a lot of insecurity issues which is the norm for someone with that much success but his continual need to hit on woman to validate his man hood makes me dislike and not trust him all the same.
What ever the fight was over I'm sure the friend he has known for 13 years was in the right.
