P. Diddy Getting Sued

Don't ya know when you loan a brotha some cash, he ain't gonna return it?

Random House Inc. is suing Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, alleging that the song/beat stealer never paid back a $300,000 advance for a memoir he never completed. Monday at the state Supreme Court in Manhattan, papers filed by the publisher alleged that Combs and his corporation, Bad Boy, have "simply kept the money they never rightfully earned." Random House is seeking the advance's return, plus interest. "Random House has seldom resorted to a legal course of action with its prospective authors who don't write the books we have contracted for, but Mr. Sean Combs has left us no choice," the publisher said in a statement yesterday. "He signed an agreement with our Ballantine imprint in 1998 to write his autobiography, which he agreed to complete and deliver to us in 1999. We now have waited for over five years and have received neither the manuscript nor the return of the money we advanced Mr. Combs." Sounds like Diddy's a procrastinator like me. Or maybe he's just waiting on something big to happen so he can write about that too. Speaking of P. Diddy, whatever happened to the rap group Da Band? Are they still around? Watching them on Making the Band II made me ashamed to be black...more than usual even! Anyhow, P's publicist, Rob Shuter, said that there was a "disagreement with Random House that we hoped would be resolved without litigation. We anticipate that this will be resolved quickly." I'm sure they're not really worried, $300,000+ is pocket change.He's not the first musician who failed to meet the deadline for delivery of his life's story. According to the article, Mick Jagger received a seven-figure advance to write his memoirs. He eventually returned the money, saying he couldn't remember anything of significance. Yeah, I'm having that problem too, Mick. So far my life story all fits on one page...
