Diddy Halts Private Jet Flights Over Fuel Prices

LOS ANGELES — Fuel prices have grounded an unexpected frequent-flyer: Diddy.

Sean "Diddy" Combs complained about the "... too high" price of gas and pleaded for free oil from his "Saudi Arabia brothers and sisters" in a YouTube video posted Wednesday. The hip-hop mogul said he is now flying on commercial airlines instead of in private jets, which Combs said had previously cost him $200,000 and up for a roundtrip between New York and Los Angeles.

"I'm actually flying commercial," Diddy said before walking onto an airplane, sitting in a first-class seat and flashing his boarding pass to the camera. "That's how high gas prices are. I'm at the gate right now. This is really happening, proof gas prices are too high. Tell whoever the next president is we need to bring gas prices down."

Now he can feel what it's like to be stuck in the middle seat between a couple of NFL linebackers with a screaming baby behind him for 5 hours.

I beg to differ with you on this one, most of his money comes from white kids in the burbs. You have this one wrong.
