The Diddy bribe of $1 million for the City of New York if they let him redesign the New Year Ball sounds like nothing more than a blatant publicity stunt.
The New Year Ball is the object that falls from Times Square every New Year at the stroke of midnight.Diddy wants the Ball turned blue to look like the logo for a brand of Vodka (which he endorses and we aren’t going to mention).
Diddy says the $1 million will be given to charities in the city.
In a video posting, Diddy says “As the ‘Official Vodka of New Year’s Eve,’ it’s only fitting that we take over New York, the most iconic New Year’s city in the world. I’m going to give every adult in America a taste of what it’s like to enjoy a sophisticated celebration with Diddy, and what better time than while ringing in the New Year.”
The value of the advertising deal is obviously worth a lot more to Diddy than the $1 million he is offering. He says it is “my way of wishing New York a fruitful New Year.” We know it is his way of lining his filthy rich wallet with even more cash.
