Puff Daddy in London

HOGWILD.NET

~ U.S. hip-hop supremo Sean ``Puff Daddy'' Combs played his first London gig, wrapping up his European tour with a dazzling display of stage pyrotechnics before flying home to film his debut movie.

Puff Daddy enjoyed his stay in England so much that he promised to sample more English music. In addition to Sting, he plans to steal loops from the Beatles, George Michael, the Spice Girls, and even the Teletubbies. The mega-rich Puffy then decided to get a little culture. He threw his diamond-studded Rolex into the crowd, saying he wanted an English timepiece. He then threw down some units and left the stage wearing Big Ben on his wrist.
