Rap star P Diddy forced to ground his jet as fuel prices are "too high"
Multi-millionaire hip hop music producer Sean Combs, known as P Diddy, has been forced to ground his private jet because of rising fuel prices.
. . .
Combs claims that two round-trips between Los Angeles and New York on board his personal jet now costs him around $200,000 (�108,000).
He was so incensed by the situation that he posted footage of himself on video-sharing website YouTube, vowing to abstain from private travel until fuel prices fall.
Titled "Diddy Blog #12 - Gas Prices Are Too High", the clip shows him delivering the message from an airport lounge.
He said: "Gas prices are too ****** ******* high. As you know, I do own my own jet and I have been having flying back and forth to LA pursuing my acting career.
"Now, if I'm flying back and forth, like, twice in a month that's like $200,000 or $250,000 round trip. **** that. I'm back on American Airlines right now, OK.
Laughing into the camera, he said: "Check this out, your boy Diddy right now is on American Airlines. Look.
"I want to give a shout out to all my Saudi Arabian brothers and sisters and all my brothers and sisters from all the countries that have oil, if you could all please send me some oil for my jet I would truly appreciate it.
