Excerpt of Diddy's message on YouTube:
- "Gas prices are too motherf-----g high. As you know, I do have my own jet, but I've been having to fly back and forth to L.A. pursuing my acting career. Now, if I'm flying back and forth twice a month, that's like $200,000, $250,00 round trip. F--- that. I'm back on American Airlines."—DiddyFOX News: Gas Prices Cause Sean 'Diddy' Combs to Ground His Jet (August 29, 2008)
