Artist Sues Diddy for Tapping His Glass

P-DiddyDiddy's been accused of stealing any number of things, but this is a first: An artist says the rapper's "Unforgivable" cologne bottle stinks because it's just like a sculpture he did.

Tom Patti filed a lawsuit last week in Federal court against P.D. and his company, alleging he ripped off the glass cradle of "Unforgivable" (below right) from his design called "Modulated Solar Airframe" (below left).

Yes, both are glass bottles with ribbing and a receptacle. Yes, this bottle of cologne comes with a glass cradle. The artist wants unspecified damages.

Diddy's people declined to comment.

Diddy's cologne is pretty hideous, just like his face. And the "artist" is a dumbass for actually going out and filing a lawsuit. How was he even allowed ?? Both "artists" are idiots .

Figures that a lowlife pimp like P diddly (or pee wussy or whatever the f*ck this loser is calling himself) would steal someone else's design. He's nothing but street trash; always has been, always will be. Doesn't matter how much money he has; sh*t in a $1000 suit is still sh*t...

I hate that commercial of his where Frank Sinatra is singing. Does Sean think he can try to re create a Rat Pack? There was only one.. It will never be replicated.. Never.. He ain't no Sammy Davis, Jr. That is for sure..

WELL FIRST OF ALL IF THAT IS THE CASE THAT THIS MAN IS CLAIMING THAT P.DIDDY STOLE HOS DESIGN AND IT WAS HIS THEN HE SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEMS WHEN HE GO'S TO COURT AND SHOWING HOS PAPER WORK WERE HE HAD THAT DESIGN PATENTED AND THAT HE WAS THE CREATOR OF THIS BOTTLE. THAT IS HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE, AND BEFOR EVERYBODY GO'S ALL OF THE DEEP END AND ASSUMING THAT P.DIDDY STOLE THIS DESIGN YOU SHOULD PROBALLY HEAR ALL OF THE FACT BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT GOOD OLD SAYING WHEN YOU ASSUME YOUR MAKEING AN ASS OUT OF YOU.SO PEOPLE YOU ALL SHOULD REMEMBER THAT....

Is this surprising to anyone? Puff Daddy, excuse me, Puffy, excuse me, Diddy, cannot do anything original. One of the most talentless jerks out there.

STFU TMZ YOU ARE IDIOTS:  1104 days ago

Diddy didn't steal it. Cause he didn't make it! He paid some small guy that works for him to do it. He's a talentless idiot that is only famous cause he was friends with someone who was talented (Biggie). He should have went away when Biggie did, because not only is he not talented, but he's a c**t.
