And it don't stop. Rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs was celebrated today (Oct. 13) in Chicago with his own day--his second such honor.
According to the Associated Press, Mayor Richard Daly declared today as Diddy Day and presented Diddy with a set of cuff links bearing the city's seal.
He also called the entertainer "a great role model." In May 2005, Las Vegas declared May 14 as Diddy Day.
Diddy, who is CEO of Bad Boy Entertainment, is currently on a national tour promoting his upcoming album Press Play, due in stores on Oct. 17.
In related news, four members of Diddy's girl group Danity Kane were involved in a car accident last evening (Oct. 12) in Toledo, OH and were sent to a local hospital with minor injuries.
The girls were en route to a sound check for a concert at Club Headliners around 7:00 p.m. when the accident occurred.
"Four members of the group and road managers were in a limo heading to Headliners when they were struck by another vehicle traveling at about 45 miles per hour," the group's spokesman Tim Miller told local affiliate NBC 24. "They were all taken to St. V's where they were treated and released."
Danity Kane, which consists of group members Dawn, Aubrey, D. Woods, Shannon and Aundrea, was featured on Diddy's MTV's reality series Making the Band 3, which he executive- produced and starred in.
Fans were notified of the mishap around 10:50 p.m., about 45 minutes after the group's scheduled performance time.
"They were pretty banged up with bumps and bruises," Miller said. "Under the circumstances we felt it was best to cancel."
