25, 2001 - Puffy Keeps Quiet About DeathRow |
Looks like P. Diddy doesn’t want to chat about Death Row Records head honcho
Suge Knight. In an interview with Details magazine, Diddy refused to talk about
the possibility for the former east coast versus west coast rap feud flaring up
again. Using his rapier wit and cunning, Diddy deflected the question by saying,
“Why don’t you ask Suge Knight?” He went on to say, “Time is money…and you’re
wasting my time.” |
