We already know that music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs can’t brag about himself or his material possessions enough. So when he saw an opportunity to flaunt his wealth in everyone’s faces while a video camera was rolling, he did so. But Diddy took his in-your-face antics a step too far when he ripped up a $50 bill on camera.
Maybe no one explained to Diddy that it is a felony — punishable by prison time and stiff penalties — to rip up government property?
According to the U.S. Treasury Department, it is against federal law to flagrantly deface, mutilate, spindle, impair, [or] diminish, federal bank notes in use or circulation as money within the U.S. (18 U.S.C. 331).
Hopefully, no one from the federal government or treasury department reads my blog.

STOP IT SANDRA
Well
we’ll let him pass by saying possibly it doesn’t belong to the government anymore…possibly he owns 1 million 50s of his own, and they should not be considered government property if they have been in his position for lets say 5-10 years?? Maybe he can say that was an old $50 from his Uptown days that he ripped for good luck in the future of 2010??
*possession*
sorry yall…a lil slow before the last 11 minutes are up
AWWWWW man….:offtopic:
did yall see Ebony from “I wanna work for Diddy2″ put it down in that final round!!!??
Ebony went H-A-R-D…
Quote of the day
“I am so HUngryI will hunt everyday, EVERYDAY! and when I feel that I am full…then I’ll leave you alone *talking to Diddy* cuz I’ll be doing you a dis-service…but you know what I think I have a tapeworm cuz I’ll never stop being Hungry”
ALL I NEED IS DAISY TO SAY “WORK BISH” cuz she KILT dat shyt!
@Krysi J
On that otha site: Rumor has it that Bad Boy has not set her up with a position yet….she lost her teaching job…and she broke!!! And the other two who one last season….do not have positions either.
@trynabeme: No, I dont’ think she’ll stop until then. But forget the Feds for now, because whether or not you work for your money, even if you work hard for it. You still should NOT be tearing money up like that. Especially in front of the cameras. Truth be told, him doing might even put a stop to his future financial opportunities. There are millions of people that surely need and would have appreciated that $50 to lessen their hunger. No class!:nono:

^^^ I heard the ones from last season were NOT given the jobs as promised when they won the show. None of them have worked for Diddy except Poprah who came back for the show. Bad Boy is BAD all around. He doesn’t care about his artists and he doesn’t care about these people who win on his show. I don’t know why people audition for this show. It HAS to be just for TV. Poor Ebony struggled through that competition for nothing
*bye Krysi *
@Musiqal1
I hope that it’s not true….I hope that he lets them make some type of income. If it is true, dayummm Diddy!!! You wrong for that…..people leave their jobs, kids, spouses, and sense of security for the chance to work for your a$$! And then you are going to play them? They talking about B, Jayz, and Rhianna messing with the debil, what about this fool?
C’mon Sandra,
I think everyone reads your blog. Diddy is an embarassment to Hip Hop. That money could have fed a few people for a day. He is complete AZZhole. He is an example of people with no class, finally getting some money.
this is so sad cause sooooooo many americans could have used that 50 dolla bill
but hell. all he had to do is tape it up after the camera shut off
I
with the others who are saying the $50 could’ve been used by someone who needed it. He couldn’t have given that money to some random homeless person?!
lmao..I highly doubt anyone from the federal government or treasury department reads your blog, annd even if they did, they’re not gonna out of there way to arrest or charge Diddy..like let’s be real..they’re are ACTUAL crimes out there that these ppl have to deal with…
Hey SR Fam!!! Did you guys miss me???
If not, don’t comment, cuz you’ll hurt my feelings 
Anyway, Diddy know damn well he coulda paid B5 that money to split, cuz I know he saw those recent pictures….

ignorance. if your gonna act an ass, one should do so in private and not on camera.
@mirs-You missed how they were getting geeked over civi and his new gravatar…….
@tryna-yeah i heard her say that on the show…….
“Are you gonna get your wish to see the video for “Put it in a Love Song” with Beyonce, I have to say it’s looking really likely, ‘cause we have to do that,’” Keys revealed. “And we’ve already talked about where we want it to be. We’ve been toying with some ill locations. She’s an incredible lady and I absolutely consider her a friend. And we are going to totally, entirely blow your whole head backwards when we do that video.”
*****************************************************
So is it safe to assume Mashonda was not a friend? Just askin’…
They play this song A LOT on the radio…I knew it’d catch on.

I’m out, peoples!!! Yes, I’m just now gettin off work
Hey Karamel……
@Missy your new CB gravi is killing me softly
I’m not even gonna waste my time looking at the video. If you say this happened and the money was real, he is a fool. I would’ve respected him for giving a poor person on the street that fifty spot than ripping it up.
When he goes to jail for tax evasion, insider trading, or whatever shady things he does, hopefully they will play this video in the courtroom before he’s sentenced.
Hey Missy!! I was having SR withdrwals. Couldn’t log on all day, girl. Chez got his full 8 hours today
I didn’t watch the video either, however what he does with his money is his business.
Were his actions careless & insensitive? Yup.
Can the gov’t “go there?” Yup.
Will they? Depends on if they need to create a media frenzy as a distraction…
He could have just given me that money
If I was there it would be taped back together and in my wallet 
@civil
but I feel ya!
**peeks in**
Diddy ripping up A $50 bill is not news.
Nope. Need a
Can’t remember since I typically lurk during the day…. we don’t usually get a new post at night, right? Sandy, clearly has boundaries 
No @ Karamel. Sandra doesn’t usually posts at night.
That Akeys n Bey song is WACK and I STANS for Akeys but the song is straight TRASH
That is all
@Daisy-Thanks …..
@Karamel-Awwwwwwwwwwww…I feel for you..I have withdrawals sometimes.I need to check into rehab
Thanks, Missy. Queen (or Kang as Kwall would say) is looking good tonight in her black dress & turquoise accessories.
@Daisy- I do a lot when I’m all in but popping zits? Ummm, no. I have a friend-girl whose hubby (during dating) popped her back zit- at the beach- with his teeth. Yes. That’s what I said.
it wuz a counterfeit bill lolol
@Anna- I don’t know if we’ve discussed this but for Mo’: she hollers & I need to be eased into dreamland. and THEN her guests are usually ppl like Grady from Sanford & Son and Calvin from 227. WhoGives-a****?? Do we care? I like that they’re alive, but other than that…. BOOOO!! Wendy’s guests are typically boring which puts her and Mo’ pretty much equal!
and THEN her guests are usually ppl like Grady from Sanford & Son and Calvin from 227. WhoGives-a****??
Let Mo & her friends (who need all the promotion they can get) be great!

Sandra I know you feelin’ Taylor L (for some dayum reason)…you see he won one too????
Aight I’m finna lay it on down but HAFTA share a story that just aired on my 11p news….SMDH!
Davis police have arrested a man on suspicion of setting up a robbery victim by first meeting him on dating Web site for gay men.
Police are asking for other people who might have been robbed by the suspect, but are reluctant, to come forward.
Police arrested Decarlos Joslyn Muhammed, 22, of Sacramento on suspicion of robbing a man on Dec. 3. Police said the victim, a Davis resident, was robbed in his apartment after meeting Muhammed on a dating Web site for gay men.
Police say they believe Muhammed searched Web sites catering to gay men and posted graphic, sexually explicit material, claiming to be a massage therapist. Detectives say they suspect Muhammed figured his robbery victims would not call police.
When Muhammed came to the Davis man’s home, he took the victim’s cell phone and sprayed him with pepper spray. Despite being sprayed in the face, the victim chased Muhammed outside the apartment and restrained him in a nearby parking lot, police said.
Muhammed, police said, then sprayed the victim again in the eyes with the pepper spray. That allowed Muhammed to escape.
Police arrested Muhammed a week later. He is also a suspect in a similar theft in San Francisco.
Davis police are seeking anyone who has had contact with Muhammed through a social networking sites.

It’s sad. I understand that he is rich but it’s sad to see him just throw money away like that. So many people are homeless and steady looking for a bite to eat. I would’ve appreciated it if he took the money instead and gave it to someone who really needs it.

@Ms.kaylamomma-Morning
And to everyone…….morning
Good morning FAM!! Anybody snowed in today?…Waiting for the hyped up snow storm to hit us here in ATL!! I rushed out and bought my bread and milk last night…I kid I kid (Why is bread and milk always the first to go?)
Atlanta goes into Armagadon mode when there is a threat of snow…must be the city’s one snow plow and poor winter drivers!! Unlike NY and The CHI we don’t have a HAWK WALK, you know that walk you all do as you make that treke through 4 to 5 inches of snow and heavy wind.
To all my SR FAM SNOW DWELLERS!! Get your HAWK WALK ON!!! and be safe
@ggouch
Lmao! You are SO RIGHT about that walk here in the Chi!! I just did mine coming to work. With cleaning off my car and walking through the snow….I have had my work-out for the day!
Good Morning Everybody
Classes are canceled in my neck of the woods in North Texas because of icy roads so me and the kids are stuck in the house. Pleaseeee Sandra give us some good posts today because I have a feeling this two little punks (my kids) are going to drive me crazy today
for me people 
Morning Ms. Kayla. Ms. Tyz, OMG. I forgot about the car scrapping you all have to do!! Girl I don’t envy you!! Snow depresses me. I find nothing sexy about snow!
Texi, before you kill the kids here are some tips …
Keep them in their PJ’s
Tell them today’s Game is Stranded Island.. and the bed is the Island.
Arm them with Cherrioes and tell them today they can eat from the box and the other meals will be air-lifted in (This is of course you simply bring them their food i.e.lunch and snacks)
Tell them to take all their fav movies, a book and two fav toys to the island with them.
Girl I assure you this will give you PEACE at least until 2pm
That money could have fed a few people for a day. He is complete AZZhole.

@ggouch
All that you mentioned is on point with my 10 y.o. son, the 3 y.o. diva/princess-in-her-head won’t go for any of that for longer than 30 min’s. She is such a hater when it comes to me keeping my sanity
@ Tyzgurl
Lmao! You are SO RIGHT about that walk here in the Chi!!
—————————————————-
I know that feeling all too well
! I was born AND raised in Chicago…I’ve walked that walk hundreds of times! On the other hand, here in Atlanta all the schools closing for anticipation of the inch or so of snow coming. I hope they shut the city down so I can go home 
Isn’t showing real money on film illegal as well? How old is he again?
