Diddy's Newest Ditty

Model Tyson Beckford has sued Diddy for breach of contract and use of his trademarked image. The suit was filed in the Southern District of New York on August 12. For the story, click here. For the complaint, click here. Apparently, Mr. Beckford has only been paid about half of the contract price for modeling Sean John clothing.

In other Diddy trademark news, rapper 50 Cent claims Diddy has changed from his previous name "P. Diddy" in order to more closely resemble 50's nickname "Fiddy" (an alternate pronunciation of "fifty"). According to this post, Fiddy has been quoted as saying "I'm Fiddy and now Puffy wants to be Diddy, trying to move his name closer to me, you know what I'm saying?"
