And it don’t stop.
Rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs was celebrated today (Oct. 13) in Chicago
with his own day–his second such honor. According
to the Associated Press, Mayor Richard Daly declared today as Diddy Day
and presented Diddy with a set of cuff links bearing the city’s seal.
He also called
the entertainer "a great role model." In May 2005, Las Vegas declared
May 14 as Diddy Day. Diddy,
who is CEO of Bad Boy Entertainment, is currently on a national tour promoting
his upcoming album Press Play, due in stores on Oct. 17.
In related
news, four members of Diddy’s girl group Danity Kane were involved in a car accident
last evening (Oct. 12) in Toledo, OH and were sent to a local hospital with minor
injuries. The
girls were en route to a sound check for a concert at Club Headliners around 7:00
p.m. when the accident occurred. "Four
members of the group and road managers were in a limo heading to Headliners when
they were struck by another vehicle traveling at about 45 miles per hour,"
the group’s spokesman Tim Miller told local affiliate NBC 24. "They were
all taken to St. V’s where they were treated and released." Danity
Kane, which consists of group members Dawn, Aubrey, D. Woods, Shannon and Aundrea,
was featured on Diddy’s MTV’s reality series Making the Band 3, which he
executive- produced and starred in. Fans
were notified of the mishap around 10:50 p.m., about 45 minutes after the group’s
scheduled performance time. "They
were pretty banged up with bumps and bruises," Miller said. "Under the
circumstances we felt it was best to cancel."
