We should probably create a separate Google alert for every time an entertainer or pro athlete calls someone a faggot, but weâd need a whole new email account for all the hits weâd get.
The latest millionaire role model to vomit out homophobic slurs is none other than Sean Combs Puffy P. Diddy Puff Daddy, Diddy, who got agitated at a clubgoer in Atlantaâs Compound nightclub for not drinking Circoc vodka (the brand Combs shills for).
âBitch-ass niggas ⌠put that shit down before I come smack that purple shirt off your ass,â the music mogul screamed before pelting him with ice. âWhat the fuck are you gonna do, bitch? Fucking faggot-ass light-skin niggas get the fuck out of my face!â
Thatâs some fucked-up Rick James shit right there.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Sensing the impending media backlash, Diddy Tweeted an apology:
âIâm sorry for the ignorant way I repesented myself ⌠I have backslid and regressed. Forgive me for my ignorance. Pray for me pls. I know better and I am better⌠I have a responibility that I promise I will live up to. And Iâm more dissapointed [SIC] in myself than you know. I will humble myself and learn.â
That tearing sound you hear? Thatâs Ciroc ripping up Diddyâs contract.
Well, it better be.

Maybe if we ignore this “millionaire role model” he just might go away…. quietly.

True colors. Doesn’t much matter, Ciroc is ghetto. Any gay with a job drinks Grey Goose or Belevedere.

another boycott, Queerty? Is that what you are hinting at here? I’m on it. I like organic shit from lesbian hippie type places anyway. Easy enough to leave the rest alone, and the lack of booze will help me lose weight. Win Win. đ

Queerty, sweetie, I just watched the tape and I can tell you Puffy is not apologizing for his language. I didn’t even hear him say faggot anyway. He said nigga about 15 times. He apologized cause TI dis-invited him to his birthday bash.
Reason
Ciroc is not going to rip up a contract granted that Diddy is not a shill but a partner that brought the drink back from the ashes to great sales. Diddy went to the gladd awards as far back as 2004 and shilled on behalf of our community back when it was not popular. Spoke of how we should be treated equally and part of the key to making this country great. An overzealous promoter in a fit of rage saying something offensive is not enough to be condemned as a homophobe. I personally make an effort not to say anything derogatory about an entire group of people when angry, but I am sure I am in the minority both in society and on queerty.

Ciroc is owned by multinational drinks giant Diageo. Diageo owns many brands – Smirnoff, Johnny Walker, Guinness, Seagrams, Baileys, Gordons, Ketel 1 etc etc. They also own the Jamaican beer Red Stripe. Some years ago Red Stripe got into trouble for sponsoring a music festival in Jamaica which featured homophobic murder musicians.

I’m not going to boycott Diddy or his efforts because I genuinely believe his apology. This is the same guy who had no problem casting trans contestants on two of his reality shows + corrected a late night host (was it Letterman? I forget) when they jokingly suggested that being married to a woman ruled out that a man was gay. Besides, Diddy’s mentor (Andre Harrell) is gay. Andre just doesn’t know it yet.
Overall, I think he’s a friend of The Gays who had a momentary lapse in judgment. Which we all have. Put down your stones, Pharisees.

I think Queerty is wrong on this one… I’m all for bashing Chris Brown for his ignorance and every other celebrity(white or black) who makes a racist/homophobic/etc. comment without seeing the error in their actions.
I don’t think Diddy is deserving of this behavior. Like other commenters have said He has been an ally… back when it wasn’t popular. And his apology looks sincere to me.
Save the bitchiness for someone who deserves it.

@kawneekwa:
Shuddup racist troll. đ
Can’t stand Diddy either never have never will.Ive never known this dude to ever be gay friendly either have no idea where that idea came from .
Gay Veteran
@Michael: Well maybe you should google him or look at the comments above and you’ll see why he’s gay/LGBT friendly.
JM
The wikipedia article on Combs does not mention any gay rights activism on his part. Anyone care to clarify what he’s done for us? Not saying he hasn’t done anything, but if he has, someone more knowledgeable than myself should add to that article…

Diddy is a piece of homophobic shit. It’s amazing that the gay community has let him off the hook for so long. Perhaps it’s a case of pro-black political correctness preventing us from criticizing him.
Well, I’ve got something to say to him to compensate for the gay community’s lack of response to black homophobia: you’re a fucked-up piece of shit who rode the hip-hop train to stardom despite your ugly face and borrowed tunes.

@Gay Veteran:
I have no need to google the man dude this guy has never been LGBT friendly.Hes just another ignorant person been there done that thats commonplace in this world now sadly.
I do however give him props for his so called sincere apology.
Gay Veteran
@jason: STFU you racist prick. “pro-black political correctness”? Do me a favor and don’t on this site again… keep your ignorance to yourself.
fredo777
@Michael: It’s pretty funny that you have no knowledge of what he’s done to be considered gay-friendly + won’t even bother researching the matter, but you can still state with confidence that he’s “never been” LGBT friendly. Very interesting, indeed.
