Diddy forced to give up private jet
8:25am Saturday 30th August 2008
Hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs will now fly on commercial airlines instead of private jets because of soaring fuel prices.
Combs complained about the "too high" price of fuel and pleaded for free oil from his "Saudi Arabia brothers and sisters" in a YouTube video.
He said he is now flying on commercial airlines instead of private jets, which Combs said had previously cost him 200,000 US dollars and up for a roundtrip between New York and Los Angeles.
He said: "I'm actually flying commercial. That's how high gas prices are. ... Tell whoever the next president is we need to bring gas prices down."
Diddy made this comment before walking onto an airplane, sitting in a first-class seat and flashing his boarding pass to the camera.
