Sean 'P Diddy' Combs abandons private jets as fuel costs soar
Sean Combs, otherwise known as P Diddy, has said he can no longer afford to fly on private jets due to rising fuel prices. The rapper announced that from now on he will only fly on commercial airlines.
In a YouTube video, Combs is seen to be pleading for free oil from his "Saudi Arabia brothers and sisters", according to Independent Television News. The
US rapper said that the price of fuel was too high.
As a result, Combs has resigned himself to flying on
commercial airlines rather than
private jets: "I'm actually flying commercial. That's how high gas prices are. Tell whoever the next president is we need to bring gas prices down," he said before walking onto his commercial flight, where he flies first-class.
It is claimed that Combs' private jets had previously cost him more than $200,000 (£110,000) for a round trip between
New York and
Los Angeles.
