From an interview at TIME.com:
TIME: You were under contract with P-Diddy to do some modeling. Are you going to continue with that?
WADE: Naw, I'm not going to do any of that coming up. Me and P-Diddy have a great relationship. He comes to the games and shows support so I'll always show support for him. That was kind of a one-year thing. But of course I'm gonna still wear nothing but Sean John gear when I'm off the court because they continue to send it to me.
AllHipHop.com has some quotes from Diddy related to his star on the Walk of Fame:
"We [Bad Boy] had to take our bumps and bruises and look at the Billboard charts," Combs noted. "I have two records in the Top Ten [Yung Joc's "It's Goin' Down" and Cassie's "Me & U"] and on the Rhythmic Chart this week [we have] the number 1 and number 2 records with Cassie and Yung Joc. You know, we are talking about 12 years later [since Bad Boy was founded in 1993]. There were times over the last few years, cats was counting us out it's a big week. God works in mysterious ways. It's a huge week to have the #1 and 2 and get a star on Hollywood [Boulevard]. I'm just grateful."
It looks like my guess was a good one (wasn't that hard of a guess). It's up at ISB.
From USAToday.com:
Rapper and producer Sean "Diddy" Combs, rock disc jockey Rodney Bingenheimer and TV host Barbara Walters have something in common.
They will join 20 other celebrities from radio, recording, theater, television and film to be honored in 2007 with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Congrats!
Mezco Toyz has pictures at their site of a 9 inch The Notorious B.I.G. figure that they are working on that is due out this fall. The figure features a cloth suit with removable hat, cane and other accessories. It will be available for pre-order at their store sometime this summer.

From MTV News:
Were the Neptunes fronting with "Frontin' "? That's what Peter and David Currin claim in a federal lawsuit filed in Connecticut on Friday, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The songwriters say portions of their 1993 song "I'm Frontin' " were used in the Pharrell Williams/ Jay-Z track from the Neptunes' 2003 Clones album. The Currins allege that the lyrics, music and rhythm of their song � which they say they sent in demo form to Diddy � are "substantially similar" to the Neptunes single. Star Trak Entertainment, Arista Records, Sony Music Entertainment, RCA Records, BMG Music and Bad Boy Entertainment are also named as defendants in the copyright infringement claim, which seeks damages, royalties and an injunction to prevent further distribution of the song.
Yung Joc and Cheri Dennis will be performing at the WEUP Black Arts Festival this weekend:
In past years the festival, held on the station's grounds on Jordan Lane, has hosted the likes of Lil' Romeo, Mike Jones and T.I. This year, organizers scored a coup with Yung Joc, who has the Billboard No. 1 hip-hop song, "It's Goin' Down." Read an interview with him on Go.3. ...
Other acts booked include Mila J, Cherish, Bohagon, J Shin, Rasheeda, Project Pat, Field Mob and Cheri Dennis.
They are set to close out the event with Cheri Dennis appearing on the Pepsi stage at 5:40 PM on Saturday and Yung Joc following her at 6:00 PM.
Urban Connects mentions that Yung Joc was the ninth best selling album this week, moving 69,880 units to put him at 218,412 overall.

Joc moved up 1 spot on the Hot 100 to number 3. Cassie remains at 8. Good stuff.
Just a rumor (... just a rumor), but AllHipHop.com rumors section is reporting:
50 CENT TO TAKE ON BAD BOY?
I�m not the only one with rumors. Aside from Maino, Vibe magazine also has some good ones. In the new issue, they say that 50 Cent might be preparing an all-out lyrical assault on Diddy and Bad Boy, because they haven�t been able to get their paperwork together with Ma$e. The source says that Curtis and Mason have completed the Harlem rapper�s debut G-Unit album, but can�t wriggle out of the legalities. Vibe�s VC says that Diddy wants a $2 million lump sum to get Betha out of there, but 50 isn�t willing to pay all that for the rapper-turned-preacher-turned rapper. I suggest they do a joint venture like G-Unit did with Freeway and Roc-A-Fella and we all get paid. I mean, they all get paid.
We'll see. I wouldn't be shocked. I liked 50 at one point, but I've slowly been turned off to him and if he does anything like this... well, I'll just continue in that direction. Who hasn't 50 gone at, really? Go to WikiPedia for a refresher. To name a handful: Ja Rule, Nas, Fat Joe, The Lox, Jay-Z, The Game... wait, all of those people are cool with Diddy and Bad Boy. (Well, I mean... yeah, Jadakiss likes to talk about throwing refrigerators around, but after Diddy gave them their publishing as a gift, they were all smiles). Between The Game being on Duets and working with Diddy, Ja Rule being on a Duets Bonus Track, Diddy generally being friendly with a bunch of people that 50 has or is going at, the crazy radio appearance where 50 said Diddy was "driving B.I.G. into the ground" and the Mase stuff, this doesn't seem that far fetched. But... whatever.
