Diddy Cries To VIBE, Says Martin Bashir’s Maybach Question Was ‘Racist’


Diddy graces the latest issue of VIBE Magazine and inside the magazine he airs out his qualms with Martin Bashir over his Nightline interview.

In his interview with VIBE Diddy says he felt Bashir was out of line for questioning him about gifting 16-year-old son Justin a near $400,000 Maybach:

There were times in the interview when I had to give him an ultimatum. The questions weren’t being handled the right way. In hindsight, when I saw him I shouldn’t had done the interview because I know the style of interview that he does . . . The whole thing about giving a Maybach to my son, that’s really like a racist question. You don’t ask White people what they buy their kids. And they buy ‘em Porsches and convertible Bentleys and it ain’t no question. It’s really a racist question and put things back in perspective with money and the way that people still look at you. And I’m not saying that consciously he’s a racist. But he probably don’t even realize that he would not ask Steve Jobs that. He would be like Steve Jobs has that money and that’s the gift his kid is supposed to get.
