The Stand Up for Skateparks website says that Diddy is a Benefit Committee member for Tony Hawk: RIDE Presents Stand Up For Skateparks. The organization "raises critical funds to support the Tony Hawk Foundation’s mission to bring high-quality, free public skateparks to youth in low-income communities across the U.S." They'll be holding a festival in Las Vegas and Diddy will be attending.
Our audio player features a pair of remixes to Dirty Money's "Love Come Down." They both follow the same format: an opening verse from the guest rapper and then the rest of the song as in the original version of the track. It's unclear if either of these is an official remix, or not, however.
A couple of weeks ago, Vibe published an interview with Diddy, focused on the touring plans for Dirty Money and some "Last Train to Paris" album details.
"This time it's a different approach," Diddy told VIBE of his touring plans for Dirty Money alongside his band mates Dawn and Kalenna. "We're more open to going into intimate venues. We're more open to go out with people we [usually] wouldn't go out with to touch different crowds. And we really don't care about headlining. Somebody else can headline and we'll go on before them. We just want to entertain the people and have them see us and hear us. Because, at the end of the day, I started the stadium tours, so I don't have anything to prove from that angle."
Also of interest: he says that Dirty Money has "about 55" songs in the can that they hope to narrow down to 12-14 and that Jay-Z, Lil' Wayne, Drake and Jay Electronica contributed to the album. Previously, Drake, T-Pain, Rick Ross and Wayne had been mentioned by Diddy, with Jay-Z being a potential contributor.
The video for "Someone to Love" was directed by Nabil Elderkin, according to the article. He directed Kanye West's "Paranoid" and "Welcome to Heartbreak" and John Legends "PDA," among others. They've also worked with photographer Terry Richardson in some capacity ( in February of this year, Diddy did a video blog with Richardson by his side).
From Complex's interview with 50 Cent:
Complex: Shifting gears, in your VH1 Behind The Music episode, there was a part that talked about Diddy taking a meeting with you, and him getting shook because you brought a gun to the office…
50 Cent: This is what happened. Jennifer Lopez told Puffy that I was a great writer because Corey Rooney signed me to Columbia Records. Jennifer had been exposed to my material, so she told Puff she thinks I’m somebody he should work with. I came down to write and I was in there writing a couple of joints and Puff left the actual room. There was rustling and rambling at the door and s*** like that. I jumped up—when you get hurt as bad as I got hurt, either your fear consumes you or you become insensitive. So I jumped up and figured “as you come through the door, I’ll shoot your a** down right there in the door.” The paranoia heightens your senses. You start to see every little detail, every little thing. You don’t want to miss anything and have it turn out there’s someone shooting you again. When I heard the rambling outside, I jumped up, I had a Mac-10 on me. Pulled the joint out and Puff came in and looked, said, “Oh s***, I can’t do this.” As a matter fact, it was Shyne and Wolf, wrestling outside. Puff was going through that actual case when he called me in to write and I’m in his office with a Mac-10. He was like, “I can’t do that.” After the fact, I looked at it and was like, That’s a legitimate call.
Elle Magazine's Andrew Goldman has a love and relationship focused interview with Diddy.
In mid-October, on Twitter Game thanked Diddy for his "contribution to R.E.D." Game's forthcoming album "The R.E.D. Album" had been slated for a December 8 release but has been pushed back.
It's unclear exactly what Diddy's contribution was. But, in September, a song called "American Dream" leaked online with a verse that sounded like it had been written for Diddy.

Last week, we highlighted video of Diddy/Dirty Money performing "I'll Be Missing You" and "Mo Money Mo Problems" at Oi Fashion Rocks Brazil. At that time, one of the 3 video clips of their performance was unavailable. That has now been fixed.

At the BET Hip-Hop Awards 2009, Jay-Z was given the Hustler of the Year award. Diddy was one of the nominees in the category, along with Drake, Lil' Wayne and Kanye West. Congrats to Jay, who collected three other awards, as well.
Vibe has a short interview with Diddy, where he discusses "Last Train to Paris," Dirty Money and more.
People miss seeing you dance, Puff. You're back in the studio with Laurie Ann Gibson. Are you back in true Diddy-bop form?
You know, I think it's evolved more into a groove. [Laughs] I'm not trying to battle Chris Brown or Usher. I'm going to leave the crumping up to them. And I'm going to stay in a pocket. When you see it and it's backlit with the smoke, it's still that groove that you want to see.
Speaking to MTV News in the clip below, Dirty Money discusses the direction of "Last Train to Paris." It's nothing that hasn't been said previously, but the interesting part of this clip is the brief peaks we get into the music video for "Love Come Down." Check it out.
