Sean Combs and Colin Kaepernick are serious about buying Carolina Panthers
Diddy got extremely DRUNK while filming an episode of the popular podcast DRINK CHAMPS – and some are saying . . . that he was “acting gay” on the show.
Here’s what happened. Diddy drank heavily throughout the show, and at one point he appeared to be flirting with a Jamaican rasta.
It then gets worse, as Diddy starts telling the sows host NORE “I like that daddy.”
Then Diddy turns his antics to rapper Fabolous and asks Fab why they never “partied” together before. The popular Brooklyn rapper is noticeably irritated and uncomfortable. He tries his best to ignore Diddy’s apparent advances.
At some point, it even appears that the Drink Champs host NORE is uncomfortable and irritated with Diddy’s over-the-top flamboyant behavior.
The Rasta walks off at some point and Diddy drags him back and proceeds to make even him uncomfortable.
Colin Kaepernick responds to Diddy It seems that Sean “Diddy” Combs is making a serious play to buy the Carolina Panthers and the rapper is ready to set up meetings with potential investors that include Colin Kaepernick. He has had a long phone call with the ex-football star and philanthropist who wants to play a role in the ownership of the team.
On Sunday, Combs said he was looking to purchase the NFL team after current owner Jerry Richardson let it be known that he is putting his controlling share up for sale. Kaepernick also said he was interested and started making his own plans this week.
Will “shared vision” become reality?
Sources say that Kaepernick has started reaching out to business leaders, venture capitalists and sports icons to talk about setting up and ownership group. One source stated that the quarterback had a “shared vision” with hip-hop mogul Combs to create an ownership group that represents the racial makeup of the league’s players. The league is 70 percent black and as of today, the NFL has never had a black majority ownership group.
“The interest is real and it’s moving forward,” the source said of Combs and Kaepernick working to form this group. “They want to make this a reality. It’s serious.”
Richardson’s move to sell the Panthers follows reports that he engaged in workplace misconduct.
Richardson owns 48 percent of the franchise and the rest is owned by multiple investment partners. Based on the power structure that was established by the founding partnership whoever buys his share will have controlling interest over the Panthers.
The question remains as to whether Combs will be able to put up the funds outright to purchase the team. Forbes has said that the Panthers are the 21st most valuable team in the NFL with a valuation of 2.3 billion. Due to the fact that worth tends to go up when a team is being sold, a 100 percent sale of the team would be estimated to be at least $2.5 billion with Richardson’s share being around $1.2 billion.
Forbes has also put out that Comb’s net worth is $820 million and that is not all liquid assets. He will need to find other investors or sell off large amounts of his current investment holdings as well as take out loans to cover the rest of the cost to buy the Panthers.
Interest in buying the team has also been expressed by Golden State Warriors Steph Curry. The 29-year-old told ESPN, “I’m serious. I’m really serious about that. I think it’s such a unique opportunity to impact my hometown. Just an unprecedented, unique situation, and knowing kind of what the storylines are around the NFL right now, maybe having a hand in that,” he said.
“So we’ll see how that plays out and take whoever along [to] ride with me. Whoever wants to come watch Cam [Newton] and everybody, hopefully win Super Bowls.”
He first showed interest when he responded to Diddy’s Twitter message about the team, saying, “I want in!”
While Curry doesn’t have the money to buy the team on his own, with the help of Diddy and Kaepernick and perhaps some other investors, it could happen.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs wants to buy the Carolina Panthers. And if he can get the team, he’d like Colin Kaepernick to be part of it.
“I would like to buy the @Panthers. Spread the word. Retweet!” Diddy wrote on Twitter. Stephen Curry jumped at the idea, writing in response, “I want in!”
Curry grew up in Charlotte and loves the Panthers, so this would be a big deal for him.
The Panthers are looking for new ownership after founder Jerry Richardson was rocked by scandal when it was revealed that he paid at least four women off over sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, and the use of a racial slur.

Step One: Hire Colin Kaepernick
If Diddy does get the team, he already has plans to improve it. For example, he wants to hire former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
If hired, it would signal quite the competition between Kaepernick and Cam Newton for the top spot.
“I will immediately address the Colin Kaepernick situation and put him in the running for next year’s starting quarterback,” Diddy said in a video posted to Instagram. “It’s just competition, baby. It’s just competition.”
Kaepernick, however, took to Twitter to make it clear he’d be more interested in ownership of the team. “I want in on the ownership group! Let’s make it happen!” he tweeted.
Step Two: Better Halftime Shows
The performer also noted that he would put more emphasis on big halftime shows to blow audiences away.
“I will have the best halftime show, the best selection of music,” Diddy said. “And we will win Super Bowl after Super Bowl.”
Step Three: Make History
On top of hiring Kaepernick and improving the halftime experience, Diddy wants to leave his mark on the history books. If he did buy the Panthers, that would make him the first majority African-American owner in the NFL.
“There are no majority African American NFL owners. Let’s make history,” Diddy wrote.
This is nothing new, either. It’s a dream that he’s had since 2013.
“I have aspirations to become — it will happen — to become the first African-American majority owner. Not having a small stake but actually owning an NFL team,” Diddy told Bloomberg at the time. “I think it’s time for that. A majority of the players in the NFL are African-American but there are no African-American owners. So that’s one of my dreams.”
Diddy clarifies that he’s not actually a billionaire
Anyone that remembers Wendy Williams‘ days as a radio shock jock will recall her feud with Diddy. The talk show queen never held back when it come to the Bad Boy mogul and sent the rumor mill into overdrivewhen she made suggestions about his sexuality. Those were wilder days and, despite a very public fall out, it appears it’s all water under the bridge. Something the pair made clear during Diddy’s visit to Williams’ show today.
The Hip-Hop maestro sat down with his former foe to plug his new Apple Music documentary ‘Can’t Stop Won’t Stop’ – which chronicles the rise of his Bad Boy empire.
Naturally, the conversation was not limited that.
Williams quizzed Diddy, real name Sean Combs, about his family, girlfriend Cassie, his recent tour, and much more.
Check out the interview…
Diddy was definitely operating with much trepidation initially, but relaxed as it went on.
Growth is great, so it’s cool to see that fences have been mended. Right?
Diddy announces he’s hip-hop’s first billionaire {VIDEO}
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs isn’t actually a billionaire.
The mixup happened when Combs posted a video to YouTube in which he said, “A young boy from Harlem, I couldn’t even be a waiter. They didn’t want me to be a waiter, so you know what I did? I became a billionaire.”
But Diddy isn’t actually a billionaire, as he explained in an Instagram video.
“Hey guys I appreciate the congratulations but it’s a little bit premature I still have a lot of work to do. At the end of the day it’s not about the money it’s about the impact that you have on the world! Money doesn’t make you rich but it sure does pay the bills! Love to all my entrepreneurs and fellow hustlers out there. Keep Grinding and taking care your family’s. And of course keep God first above anything!” he wrote on Instagram.

Diddy says President Obama ‘shortchanged’ black people {VIDEO} Do you AGREE with him?
Diddy is currently hospitalized following a knee surgery. The hip hop mogul shared several photos on Instagram on Thursday and thanked his fans for their well wishes.
Diddy, born Sean Combs, was visited in the hospital by his family and close friends including his kids and record labelmate French Montana who brought him flowers. He also confirmed that his knee surgery was successful and he is now recovering. “Just had my final knee surgery,” he wrote on IG. “They said I’d never run again. I SAID THE DEVIL IS A LIER.!! 3 surgeries in one year.”
Aside from thanking his kids and French Montana for showing him love during this difficult time, the 47-year-old rapper/entrepreneur also thanked his staffs and his 7.5 million fans on Instagram for their support. “Thank you to My staff for being patient and riding with me the last two years and holding me down,” Diddy said. “Tomorrow’s a new day. Step-by-step! Thank you to all my fans and friends ! Thank you for your prayers and support! I’m doing great. And I appreciate your concern.”
Diddy embarked on his hugely successful Bad Boy Reunion tour last year and was dealing with a knee injury throughout the entire trek.
And when it comes to African-Americans, the hip-hop mogul says President Obama has come up short.
“When I look back, I just wanted more done for my people because that’s the name of the game,” Diddy told Rev. Al Sharpton on MSNBC Sunday.
Diddy says black people put President Obama in the White House and, essentially, deserved better:
This is politics. You put somebody in office, you get in return the things that you care about for your communities. I think we got a little bit shortchanged. That’s not knocking the president. … He’s done an excellent job, you know, but I think it’s time to turn up the heat because the black vote is going to decide who is the next president of the United States.
Diddy joined Sharpton’s PoliticsNation show to discuss the launch of his new charter school in Harlem, among other topics. The rapper, born Sean Combs, also said he would like to see Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton talk “directly” to black communities.
Cassie & Diddy Break Up Following Heated Argument, Cops Called
On August 29th, the doors officially opened to Capital Prep Harlem, the newest addition to the Capital Preparatory School network founded in Connecticut. 176 students entering the 6th and 7th grade were selected to launch this new program and they have Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs to thank for that.
Following the organization’s president, Diddy walked on stage serving out high fives and enthusiastic smiles to the students before delivering his opening address.
“I want Harlem to have the best schools…The best of everything,” Diddy said. “Instead of me complaining about education, I want to do something about it. So that’s why I’m starting this school.”
Diddy Gets Violent Warning ... Keep Your Hands Off Drake, Or Else! {AUDIO}
Diddy and longtime girlfriend Cassie Ventura have ended their relationship following an argument Wednesday, August 17.
TMZ reports that the former couple were sitting in a limo somewhere in Beverly Hills when Cassie told the record mogul that she wanted to fly solo. He became suspicious, grabbed her phone and began scrolling through it before hopping out of the vehicle with it.
Cassie instructed the limo driver to leave.
Puffy eventually brought the phone back to Cassie's home and then left, taking 2 cars with him.
Cassie's mom called the police.
When the cops arrived they wrote a domestic incident report, but determined no crime had been committed.
Diddy Goes Off About Drake Stealing '0 To 100': "I Gave This Sh*t To This N*gga. This N*gga Stole It From Me" (Video)
Tensions between Diddy and Drake are still sky high after their Miami fight -- and now Drake's longtime mentor is blasting Diddy, Suge Knight, Lil Wayne and Birdman in a blistering diss track.
Rap-A-Lot Records CEO James Prince recently recorded the cold-blooded warning -- which we're told he calls a "courtesy call" -- and we got our hands on it. Sources connected to J. Prince tell us this has been simmering since Diddy punched Drake outside LIV Nightclub back in December. On the track, Prince makes it clear Drizzy is "family," and adds ... "Puffy feeling like he can put his hands on my family, open the doors for his family to be touched. You reap what you sow." That's just the start ... he goes in on Weezy and Birdman -- with whom he's had a long-running legal war -- and also rips "Sugar Bear" for a not-so-subtle jab at Drake he made to a TMZ camera guy. You gotta hear the rant ... it plays like a manifesto, but with a beat.
Diddy Punched Drake Over The Song "0 To 100." Drizzy Ended Up In The Emergency Room
Diddy has been heated at Drake for months over the Boi-1da-produced hit record "0 to 100/ The Catch Up." He may not have gotten his hands on the YMCMB rapper until Monday, December 8, at Club Liv in Miami, but he had touched on the subject.
In Diddy's opinion Drake swiped his beat. Without mentioning the Toronto rapper by name he addressed the issue at a club in Miami back in June.
"I gave this sh*t to this n*gga, this n*gga stole it from me," Diddy says in video obtained by TMZ. "But at the end of the day the sh*t is still hard, play that sh*t."
Meanwhile, Champagne Papi was reportedly hospitalized with a shoulder injury after the altercation. He posted a couple of IG photos lounging in his hotel room that appear to show him doing just fine.
P. Diddy 'kicks the s--- out of' Drake at Miami Beach club: sources
We've learned what caused the altercation between Diddy and Drake. TMZ reports the beef was over the song "0 to 100/The Catch Up."
Producer Boi-1da sent the beat to both artists to record a song. Puffy had it for eight months without laying down any vocals. Drizzy knew the track was hot and decided to move forward and record it solo.
The song performed well, charting in the U.S., Australia, the U.K. and Canada. It received nominations for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song at the upcoming 57th Annual Grammy Awards.
Fast forward to Monday, December 8, when Diddy saw Drake for the first time since the song was released. He confronted the YMCMB rapper outside of Club Liv in Miami Beach and was blown off. At that point the Bad Boy Records CEO told him, "You'll never disrespect me again," before punching him.
Drake aggravated an old shoulder injury during the altercation and had to be taken to the emergency room.
Diddy put them paws on Drake Sunday, December 7, outside of Liv nightclub in Miami. Initially the rumor was that the two had beef over Cassie. TMZ reports that's not true. The altercation had more to do with Drizzy somehow disrespecting Puffy, possibly over a money issue.
According to TMZ, Diddy took Drake outside and told him, "You will never disrespect me," before punching the rapper in the face.
Drake was stunned and didn't swing back.
Chris Brown responded to a Baller Alert Instagram post about the incident by calling Drake a snake.
Drake, left, and Sean (Diddy) Combs, right, are reportedly at odds after a brawl broke out early Monday over a snide comment by Drake.
Diddy girlfriend Cassie Ventura hosts a 2013 event at Greenhouse in New York City.
In a nightclub brawl early Monday, rap mogul Diddy left a much-younger Drake seeing stars over Miami Beach, sources told the Daily News.
Tension at the swanky LIV nightclub boiled over into fisticuffs between the millionaire entertainers that ended with Drake on the wrong end of a Diddy smackdown.
Witnesses said 45-year-old Sean Combs clocked the 28-year-old “Worst Behavior” singer about 4 a.m. outside the Fountainbleau hotel on posh Collins Ave. in a brawl capping an Art Basel Miami bash.
“Drake definitely got the s--t kicked out of him,” said Bullet magazine editor Ray LeMoine, who’d been partying at LIV earlier that weekend and got a flurry of texts from friends who’d stayed behind. “I heard they were taking him to the hospital.”
Some witnesses said the beef stemmed from Drake disrespecting Diddy by using music without proper rights. Others said the face-off came after a drunk Drake made an offensive comment to Diddy’s girlfriend, “Let’s Get Crazy” singer Cassie Ventura, 28.
“(Diddy) had his security walk over to Drake’s table and let them know that Diddy wanted to talk to him outside around 4 a.m.,” a club insider told The News on Monday.
Both entertainers marched outside with their entourages in tow. Within 20 minutes, the fight was over and Diddy was back inside the nightclub chilling in a V.I.P. booth.
Drake left the club after the two scuffled, sources said.
“Diddy punched Drake three times,” a witness who was at the club at the time of the fight told The News.

Diddy and Drake were among a bevy of musicians celebrating DJ Khaled’s birthday late Sunday into the early morning hours Monday when the melee broke out.
“Diddy put hands on that boy … And he ain’t go 0-100 … That boy left,” wrote DJ Sam Sneak on Twitter, alongside an emoji of a sleeping face.
“Drake at the hospital smh,” he also wrote. “He dislocated his shoulder. Yall pray for Drake.”
It could not be immediately confirmed that Drake went to the hospital with injuries.
Representatives for both musicians did not respond to requests for comment.
DJ Same Sneak later tweeted, “It definitely wasn’t bout Cassie.”
A spokesman for LIV declined to comment on the fight.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is heading to the hit FOX reality singing competition, where he’ll perform his latest single, “Coming Home,” as well as mentor the contestants in the ways of “swagger,” courtesy of his signature clothing line, Sean John. According to "Diddy" “I’m helping [the contestants] with their styles. I’m helping to kind of dress them with Sean John,” Diddy revealed to Access’ Maria Menounos in an interview on Wednesday on the set of CBS drama “Hawaii Five-0,” in Oahu, where he was filming a guest spot.
Appearing on “Idol” will bring the music mogul face-to-face with his former flame, Jennifer Lopez, but Diddy said he’s got nothing but love for the Latina diva. “First of all she’s just looking so good!” Diddy told Maria of his ex. “You’ve got to give it to her for having twins and to be doing it how she’s doing it. I’m so proud of her.”
Diddy also raved about J.Lo’s judging style, revealing that her loving critiques have brought the streetwise rapper to tears… twice! “The way [Jennifer] handled coming after Simon, and even myself from ‘Making the Band,’ and the way we were hard coaches — she’s been like, a compassionate person,” Diddy told Maria. “She has made me cry like, twice, and she’s looked good doing it. And she has made sense so, you know, I’m proud of her. “She’s a nice person so, you know, when you’re super nice, your emotions get the best of you,” he continued. “It’s good though — it’s good to see that change in the competitive shows. I think she’s very refreshing.”
