WOW! This guy has got it bad. There’s nothing to be said about being a go getter, entrepreneur, mogul and all that…but damn Diddy!

American Idol is on the hunt for it’s Simon Cowell replacement and once Diddy found out how much Simon is getting paid he had to throw his hat in the ring. Well, he didn’t stop at just throwing his hat in the ring (c’mon, this is Diddy we’re talking about).


Per MTV.com Diddy says…

“I have been fronting all this time, trying to act like I don’t want that spot. (But) I spoke to Simon’s business manager, and I found out how much that boy makes a week. I am praying right now to ‘American Idol.”

“I want everybody to get on Twitter, MySpace, Facebook and say that Diddy should get the Simon spot — but for the same amount of money that Simon was getting, else it’s a deal-breaker.

“I’m tired of being cool: That number that Simon was getting a week is ridiculous. I can’t even be cool with that. Please, can I have the job, whoever’s in charge of giving that job? There’s no negotiating the contract. Just change the name on the check, and I’ll
be there.”




There you have it. Will you be supporting Diddy’s AI efforts?
