Diddy bought his son a Mercedes maybach for his 16th birthday!

Personally, I think he can spend his money any way he likes, but it does highlight the absolute chasm between celebrity and work in terms of earnings.

I know a heart surgeon who is paid around £280k a year and I think he deserves it. He works all hours and undoubtedly saves lives on a regular basis.
But society doesn't seem to value him as much as a top class foootballer or a succcessful rapper.

I do think there is something wrong when diddy can so easily give his kid a car like this that the lad isn't even old enough to drive. I mean 250K on a 16th birthday present! What kind of values is that kid going to have?

Mine bought me a cup final and cup final replay ticket and paid for both trips. I know which has the most value!
 
Unfortunately, that's just life and we have to accept it.

Some people are dealt a decent hand in life, and others get a pair of twos. Nowt you can do about it.
 
if hes got the money he can do what he wants with it & spend it on whoever
its no one elses business

its like that programme "my sweet 16" or whatever the parents buy big expensive gifts(car,yacht.. etc) for their child . nothing different to what p.diddy has done
 
thing about musicians is they are a very rare talent.

music can and has, in my case, shaped life's. begrudgingly, i think they do deserve it as people have voted with their feet.

of course, the heart surgeon deserves it too, although in a different context.

See what you're saying, but why should millions get a pair of twos and a few get a straight royal flush for nothing more than making records? Surely 3 aces would be payment enough?

I'm no communist, but this kind of excess still grates.

I surprised Diddy is still alive. Back when Pac and Biggie got killed everyone thought Diddy was next.

Best Diddy song.

After watching that I'm fucking annoyed that someone so talentless can make that much money.

It's all production. I bet he sounds like a gimp in the shower.
