Celebrity Justice
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."

16. PEOPLE...Why do you all believe everything you hear? First, to the person who wished AIDS on Diddy, you are going to HELL. Why would you wish that on ANYBODY. You need JESUS!

Anyway, friends have disagreements. Just so happens when you are in the spotlight it gets publicized. If it were regular people you would have never heard about, soact like you never heard about it and move on. I am not a big Diddy fan but DAMN!!!!!!, why give him any more publicity than he needs.

He is a smart business man and no one can take that from him but give folks there space to live. Celebrity or not.

18. Diddy laid the smack down on one of his bitches named Acevedo. No big deal. They kissed and made up.
