Mo' money mo' problems for Puff Daddy.
Records show the rap mogul's popular soul food eatery in Atlanta, Justin's Restaurant, owes $7,373 in back taxes -- this according to The Detroit News.
Diddy's reps claim it was all just a misunderstanding and say the government was sending notices to the restaurant's headquarters office in NYC -- which closed over ten years ago.
Bottom line -- Diddy says the check's in the mail.

Who cares-this restaurant was garbage anyway. The food was nasty and the service sucked. I hope they close this eyesore down.

This is a lame story. People who make way less have been audited for way more. Whoever audited him must have been on a mission, because that's probably like finding an error of $1 for the average non-chain restaurant doing any decent amount of business. Next...

Come on, Diddy. You wanted a Socialist in the White House. Who did you think was going to have to pay for the trillions of dollars of big government debt he Dems have already rung up? The tax man can only get so much from the middle class before he has to go after the people who have as much money to burn as you do.
