Trouble and P Diddy go together like peanut butter and chocolate. It seems like every other day he’s getting sued for beating someone up, fathering a random child, or screwing someone in a business deal. If nothing else, I think it’s well acknowledged that Diddy has a pretty big ego that he has a hard time checking. Puffy supposedly got into a fight with a guy at Kiosk nightclub in Manhattan. Around 3:30 in the morning on Saturday, Diddy argued with a man named Steven Acevedo over an unidentified woman who wasn’t even at the club. Apparently the two had both dated her, and for some reason there’s some bad blood between them as a result. MTV news phrased the fight as an “intense discussion” that eventually escalated when Puffy “aggressively marched” over to Acevedo’s table, at which point he punched the guy twice in the face, resulting in a bloody nose and broken lip.

“Shortly after the New York Police Department confirmed that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was the subject of an investigation into an alleged assault at a SoHo club Saturday night, the rap mogul came forward to portray the incident as nothing more than a mild dustup between friends. ‘What is being reported in the media is inaccurate,’ Diddy’s attorney, Benjamin Brafman, said of reports that his client was due to surrender at precinct house Tuesday morning.

“‘Mr. Combs is not going to be arrested today. We are hopeful that this matter will be resolved without the filing of any criminal charges, as this was a disagreement among acquaintances, not a criminal assault.’ The Post says that one of Diddy’s ever-present bodyguards stepped between the men to prevent any further fisticuffs. Acevedo, 31, reportedly suffered a bloody nose and fat lip, per the newspaper.

“Police are reportedly trying to determine whether the club, which is a store by day, has any security footage of the fracas. While no charges have yet been filed, should the allegations pan out, Diddy could be facing a misdemeanor charge of third-degree assault.”

Yeah I’m sure it’s erroneous reporting and Diddy is just a poor, helpless victim like always. He just seems like that defenseless puppy that’s always getting kicked, don’t you think? That must be the real reason he has all the bodyguards. Not, you know, to beat other people up or join him in brawls or anything. How old is this guy? He’s acting like he’s in junior high, but he’s 38. Way to show some class dude. He strikes me as one of those people you don’t even hope will get better or learn to control his anger, because he’s got so much money that he can always get out of whatever trouble he gets into. So instead I’ll just suggest you get a really great lawyer. And a paid whipping boy. At least that way someone’s getting a little something for their trouble. Though I’m guessing Steven Acevedo will too.
