Former Business Partner Suing 'P. Diddy'
NEW YORK - A former business partner is suing Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, claiming the rapper threatened him with a baseball bat in 1996 and cheated him out of $25 million.
Kirk Burrowes claims Combs used the bat threat to force him to sign over a 25 percent stake in Bad Boy Entertainment, Combs' music conglomerate. Burrowes claims he was wrongly fired as president of the company.
"Kirk just wants Sean to realize the value he had in making Sean what he is today and to do the right thing," John Bostany, Burrowes' lawyer, told the Daily News for Tuesday editions.
A spokesman for Combs told the Daily News the $25 million lawsuit was an "absolute fantasy" and said Burrowes was simply a fired employee looking to cash in.
The suit, filed in Manhattan federal court, also names Bad Boy Entertainment and Kenneth Meiselas, a lawyer for the conglomerate, as defendants.
I believe that Diddy did this...he's the same dude that had to take anger management classes for beatin' Steve Stoute with a champagne bottle and telephone over a music video. ::TSK TSK TSK:: Not to mention how upset he became when those "Making the Band" kids couldn't get "Juicy" and "Rapper's Delight" right last week. He came around the corner the last time like a mad bull and made them go outside to learn it!
Diddy, you need a hug or a role model or somethin'!
