Diddy’s 29th birthday invitation
The Smoking Gun

Why It’s Moronic

Diddy does his best to come off as a high-class snob with impeccable taste, but he fails time and again. I remember viewing the invitation for one of his White Parties that had some idiotic grammar error on it and being slightly embarrassed for him. On this doozy, he further offends the senses in multiple, additional ways:

• He misspells Dolce & Gabbana, one of the few “top designers” listed as acceptable labels to wear.

• He uses the word “shit” (never appropriate for an invitation, especially for a supposedly A-list event) and makes it even more informal by replacing the “i” with an asterisk. Classy!

• He misuses “i.e.,” (but, of course!).

• The whole text is just laughable, with poor writing and, unfortunately, no sense in his people to intervene and correct to save their boss-king from humiliation. (Clearly, he is surrounded by an entourage of yes men. Diddy probably doesn’t realize to this day that his party invitations suck.)

In summation, Diddy embodies the adage that money doesn’t buy taste; indeed, his Cîroc Vodka commercials, complete with mumble-mouth voiceovers, only rectify his crassness. A B for effort, though.
