Arrogant music mogul Sean Combs “flipped out” and accused cops of disrespecting him when they asked to search him and his entourage/security before entering a NYC club where he was to co-host a birthday bash for basketball star Kobe Bryant last night.

The nerve of him to think he’s above the law. Wasn’t Sean on trial for murder not too long ago?

When Diddy arrived at 1:45 a.m. with a six-man entourage, a witness said he “flipped out” when cops asked to search him and his friends. “He went nuts, saying, ‘Why are you disrespecting me like this? Why are you doing this to me?’ During the commotion, one of his guys slipped away, unsearched, back to the car.”

Combs “stormed off and started to text DJ Clue asking, ‘What the [bleep] is going on?’ and asked if he could go in the back entrance.” When told that the cops would have to search him and his friends there as well, Combs decided not to attend the party. His rep had no comment. [LINK]

I applaud the cops for doing their job of protecting the party goers from thugs like Sean and his entourage. Why is it okay to search guests but not him and his people?

When you hear about shootings at parties, do you wonder how the gun got inside? It’s usually always brought in by celebs and their people who don’t get searched like everyone else.

Other celebs attending the party, who I’m sure didn’t mind being searched, included Keri Hilson (who was looking rather hawt), Pepa of Salt-N-Pepa, rapper Fabolous, Lamar Odom, Dawn Richard, in addition to Kobe and DJ Clue.
