Oil price rise finally bites and P. Diddy is the first one to complain


Diddums.

I, too, find the cost of running my private jet prohibitive these days. Diddy, I feel your pain.
You could not, as they say, make it up....

Mind you...

If the high price of oil has any negative impact on motherlovin' Diddy's 'acting career', I, for one, would be prepared to see the price double

Cha Boom Back Boom Cha Boom Back-

He's a rapper he's a whiner
he's a second class flyer
with a second class gift
for just rhymin to a riff
he thinks cash equals style
but you know that all the while
he's just an idiot in trainers
a third class entertainer
he's put the jet in a hanger
so now he flies on a banger
has to share it with others
all the sisters and the brothers
but there's not enough space
in the real human race
for his elbows or his feet
so he talks a lot of sheet
and he blames all the oil
for his trouble and his toil
now he just flies First
but it coulda been worse
I don't mean maybe-
try BMI Baby.

Thank you, Eddie!

That's cheered me up even more than the thought of that pampered whinger having to slum it on -gasp!- a commercial flight.

Now you need only...

...select a refrain from a popular song to sample in the chorus and you will have a sure-fire hit on your hands.

I suggest Simply Red's version of Money's Too Tight To Mention.

This just

gets better and better!

That is very, very funny!

Made me laugh!

Woke up this morning.

Diddy's got the 'oil prices are too high, gotta fly commercial' blues..

I'll bet Robert Johnson never had to put up with this motherlovin' bullshit!

Oh...

dear. Methinks Mister Diddy left his brain at the baggage check in...

"Oh, dammit, can't a man have a biscuit?"

I thought P-Puff Diddy Daddy said recently that he was "beyond bling". Maybe bling is now beyond him.
