It was either the ballsiest move -- or the stupidest move -- Diddy ever made ... getting right in the face of a tough-talking hip-hop cop, not affiliated with the NYPD, and calling him a "mother f**ker" during an extremely heated confrontation.
It all went down Sunday night outside a VMA afterparty at 1 Oak -- the cop forcefully instructed Diddy to keep moving on the sidewalk ... to which the record mogul replied, "Lower your f**king voice when you're talking to me ... I'm a man just like you."
The cop then yelled back at Diddy, "I don't give a f**k who you are."
Diddy turned and shouted back, "I don't give a f**k who you are either mother f**ker!"
The two men continued to yell at each other until Diddy's entourage ripped him away.
According to MTV, Diddy eventually made it into the club. He later Twittered "I'm gonna say this, we should always have respect for each other! End of discussion" -- but it's unclear whether he was addressing this situation or the one between Kanye and Taylor Swift.
Since becoming a pastor, Ma$e has been kinda MIA on the music scene -- but amid rumors he'll be re-signing with Bad Boy Records, the dude hinted about a deal with Diddy yesterday in NYC.
P. Diddy handpicked Day 26 in Season 4 of "Making the Band" -- and now they're being accused of handpicking one of their new songs straight from someone else's album!
In a copyright infringement notice fired off to Bad Boy Records -- the company ran and founded by Diddy -- singer Kirby Shields alleges his song "I'm Just Getting Started" is "identical" to Day 26's "Just Getting Started," released in April.
And here's the rub: Shields says the copycat track was produced by Christian Davis Stalnecker, the same producer he hired to work "exclusively" for him back in '07.
Are there any black people in Alaska? If there are, Diddy sure doesn't know about 'em -- and on his latest online power ramble he blasts John McCain for picking Sarah Palin as his VP.
Diddy also doesn't think Palin should be so close to the top spot because there's not enough crackheads or crime in Alaska. And we all know a little crackhead experience goes a long way.
Diddy's street cred is dropping faster than his blood sugar. After leaving Coco De Ville last night, the "Bad Boy" had to take care of his sweet tooth -- by going all suburban and getting his Tupperware on!
The candy filled plastic tub must make him real popular at Ice-T's house.
A guy got passed-out wasted and plowed into a fleet of super-pricey whips in NYC the other night. Too bad for him, that $400,000 Maybach he hit belonged to Diddy! Cops tell TMZ they popped jackass Charles Lorenzo for DUI last Friday after he slammed into several cars -- including Diddy's sweet ride -- in front of Manhattan hotspot 1Oak. Diddy's peeps tell us that his car is just fine and that the Maybach that got nicked was someone else's.
Get this -- cops say Lorenzo was so drunk when they showed up, he was ass up, passed out face down on the ground.
Believing that everyone cares what his name is -- or what he's changed it to, Diddy has recorded his own personal YouTube to "clear up" any confusion you might have about what he's decided to call himself now.
Diddy doesn't just run the city -- he runs the playground, too! The music mogul was at a Beverly Hills park with his 18-month-old twin daughters yesterday, getting his quality time in.
He's probably already planning their first hit single.
As if L.A. wasn't crazy enough, here comes Diddy -- and he's ready to act full-time. Seriously.
He tells All Hip Hop.com, "I'm out here [in Hollywood] looking for houses now. I'm going to officially be bicoastal. I feel like in order to make movies, you gotta be where they are being made." Take that, take that!
Diddy goes on to say, "I could bring people to the box office and put people in seats as I make this transition." But the real question is: what director is going to have to get his cheesecake?
Who plays catch in a sweater set? Diddy does! He and his son Christian spend some bonding time in a parking lot in L.A. There's nothin' like a concrete playground! Famous parents have to squeeze in time with the kiddies when they can.
Death Row Records Co-Founder Suge Knight was outside of Ritual last night, when a bevy of badges showed up for the party -- to break it up! Don't park it in the parking lot!
Also out last night: Jay-Z made a leisurely exit after his performance at House of Blues, while Jaleel "Urkel" White took the opposite approach -- and ran from photogs!
All this and more in today's "Juiced Up" edition of Star Catcher!
Sean "Diddy" Combs was served papers on Friday night in that fat lawsuit claiming that he had his bodyguards rough-up a New York promoter -- and TMZ was right there to catch the hand-off.
Diddy was walking into his flagship store in New York City for a launch party celebrating his new Sean John women's line. As Diddy was being served, his bodyguards smacked the papers to the ground while Diddy stormed inside.
Contrary to what some outlets are reporting, a judge did order Diddy to fork over pics of the bling he was wearing on the night he allegedly assaulted a man at a pre-Oscar party in Hollywood. The rings are the thing Sean! On Friday, the straight talking judge said it in no uncertain terms- hand 'em over. According to the minute order obtained by TMZ, the judge says "Lest there be any misapprehension on the part of counsel, the court understood the parties to say at the hearing that defendant had agreed to provide photos of the rings defendant was wearing."
Gerald Rechnitzer says Puff attacked him at Teddy's nightclub at the Roosevelt Hotel, and allegedly yelled, "I'll smack flames out of your ass!" Yow!
As if L.A. wasn't crazy enough, here comes Diddy -- and he's ready to act full-time. Seriously.
