The Celebrity News Examiner, Lizz Barrett, recently
reported that Rap superstar Sean “Diddy” Combs is
scrabbling to obtain tickets to Barack Ocala’s
swaering-in celebration. Combs claims that he did not
ask for free tickets for the historic even. Of note is that
fellow superstars such as Halle Berry and Sharon Stone
reportedly paid $50,000 per ticket to get in. In the end,
Diddy obtained tickets, but he says that he did not need
to request them.

Obviously, Diddy can make things happen and he moves
about in style. So what kind of wheels does this superstar
drive? Well, the web site “Open Entrance” reports that the
hip hop star’s $400,000 Maybach (made by Mercedes-Benz)
was parked outside Manhattan’s 1 Oak nightclub and the
vehicle was hit by a drunk driver.

Well, even Diddy can run into some car trouble! But he can
easily afford the fix or to get new wheels! Just keep in mind,
however, that whether it is a $400,000 Maybach or $20,000
Montero, they all end up in the salvage yard some day!
