Diddy Goes After MTV News� James Montgomery On �FNMTV� � Why?
Published by James Montgomery on Friday, August 8, 2008 at 8:50 pm.
So by now you�ve in all likelihood seen my terrifying row with Diddy on �FNMTV.� Watching it back, it�s even more than amazing now � especially since, when it happened, it was such a blur.
If you have no idea what I�m talking about, basically, on this week�s �FN,� Diddy showed up with his newest prot�g� a smooth R&B crooner by the nominate of Donnie Klang. Diddy and Donnie then premiered their raw video, �Take You There,� which is full of models and bottles of vodka, which means it is a lot like other Bad Boy videos released all over the past year. Two Bad Boy videos � from Day26 and Danity Kane � had premiered on premature episodes of the demo, and I had been rather rough to both of them.
Apparently, Diddy watches the show.
Before we started taping, it seemed like he was rank at me backstage, only I figured he was just deep in thought or something, so I ignored it � certainly, Diddy had no thought who I was. But when it came time for the panel � of which Tim Kash and I are members, along with a edgar Guest (Jordin Sparks this week) � to talk around D&D�s new video, Diddy bum-rushed the stage, leaned on my shoulder and stared daggers at me until it came time for me to return my finding of fact on the clip. (I believe this is called �intimidation.�)
Of course of instruction, I said that patch the kids liked the video, I didn�t take in much of anything in it that would separate Donnie from the force field of light-hued R&B guys out in that location, at which point Diddy lost his sh�, shouting, �Who the f� are you?!?! How many hit records do you have?!?!?!� at me (OK, he does have a point there), then stomping around the panel. I sort of looked on in amazement while he continued to rant, stopping only to grab my head and plant a big smashed kiss on my cheek. The audience cheered like crazy � and then Diddy was gone, off into the Los Angeles night.
In the aftermath, people have been e-mailing me questions like �What does Diddy flavor like??!?!� or �Were you scared he was going to beat you with a phone or a champagne bottle?!?!� And my answers ar this: Diddy smells like lotion and rich mahogany; and no, I wasn�t scared, mainly because I didn�t think even he�d be gaga enough to pound on me while cameras rolled and D kids looked on.
Actually, I think he was more �TV mad� (i.e. �acting�) than he was actually upset. And he did kiss me, which was sort of nice.
So I gauge Diddy and I are good. At least I hope we are. At the very least, we made TV magic together � and that�s got to look for something.
