^ that picture above screams "cheesy". That's cool, though. I wish him the best with that investment. I have no idea how good that team is and what their history is, but if Diddy is interested, it must be good.

A source said: "Diddy was in London for a meeting a couple of weeks ago. The finance is in place. He could cover Palace’s debt and bankroll a return to the Premier League."
^ Loon: "I'm Loon." Diddy: "Fuck your video, n*gga. This is my sh*t" ^ The "I'ma steal your money" dance.
...Crystal Palace????? Oh, mate! No! They've just gone into administration! Bad move Diddy, bad! Palace ain't climbing up to the premiership any time soon! BAD MOVE. I only really know a bit about Palace because my boyfriends' team have a rivalry with them, and I'm a football fan.
This dude Diddy wants to invest all this money into some shit he knows absolutely nothing about. I guarantee this cat has never even watched an entire soccer game. He's invested solely based on the fact they're called "Crystal Palace"? I would think someone as savvy as Diddy would know better than that.
As long as Diddy's name is associated, he don't give a damn. I'm waitin' for him to do the diddy dance at one of their games. I could see him crashing the shit. Just dancing and slidin' his way onto the field n' shit, followed by "this.....is.....the remix." He'll do that shit midgame.
