No Rock And Roll Fun

MAYBE TIME FOR A CAREER CHANGE?: Troubles aplenty for the Daddy Diddy during his time in Ibiza. He's had the indignity of police boarding his yacht telling him to keep the noise down; now, he's getting pretty much the same reaction from clubbers. Ibiza crowds have twice booed Puff Daddy off stage when he's tried to rap - once from Space, once from DC-10. An insider - who we picture rushing for the phones like a reporter in a 1950s screwball comedy - tattled the lot:

"He was getting the [Space] crowd going and singing over some tracks. But when he tried to rap the crowd turned on him, shouting and jeering until he left the stage. [At DC-10] He got on stage and everyone cheered - but once he started rapping there was another chorus of boos. He persevered but the crowd reaction was so bad he was forced to leave the stage. He looked very hurt and was heard asking one of his flunkies: "Why don't they dig me?""

We're not sure, but perhaps its because the only people who like Combs are the sort of people who enjoy their rap watered down with gallons of Sting or Mariah or anything else, and people paid to tell him he's great. Out amongst people who actually like music, the reception is frostier.
