LAS VEGAS (AP) — "Diddy Day" was a dud. Sean
"P. Diddy" Combs was a no-show at an event
scheduled Friday at the Aladdin hotel-casino.
Mayor Oscar Goodman had been set to proclaim it
"Diddy Day," but plans were scrapped at the last
minute when word came that the hip-hop mogul
wouldn't attend.
"Due to an unfortunate miscommunication, I will
not be able to make the anticipated trip to Las
Vegas on April 15," Combs said in a statement. "I
am flattered the mayor saw fit to honor me with a
day and hope to join him soon."
The event at the V Theatre inside the Desert
Passage mall at the Aladdin had been billed as
part-ceremony and part-announcement, hinting that
Combs would reveal a business venture.
"I am looking forward to speaking with P. Diddy
and seeing what the future may hold for him as far
as Las Vegas ventures go and hope to host him in
Las Vegas soon," the mayor said in a statement.
Las Vegas businessman and producer David Saxe
told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that he had been
in talks with Combs to develop a nightclub and
"other P. Diddy-related ventures," including a
restaurant in the V Theatre, but those plans were
now on hold.
