The new campaign will also appear on Los Angeles’ prestigious Sunset Boulevard, as well as other marquis billboard locations in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami.

Sean “Diddy” Combs said, I am really proud of the new billboard and of the message that it conveys to everyone who gets to see it. I AM KING is not just about me, but every man. We are all descendants of kings. And if all men believe in that, we can accomplish anything. This image pays tribute to that belief, that ideal.”

    Well where do I begin…..

    Something about Diddy urks me…I cant put my finger on, but if I could, Im sure I’d have to wash it.

    Kelly looks GORGEOUS. Loves da dress and hair.

    John Legend….that girl needs to get out of those boots. Im not feeling that at all.

    Game….WTF??? I thought we stop takin pics with our middle fingers up in 2006. Whats the purpose? Esp considering he is at the African Music Awards.

    Vaneesa’s shirt looks like pajamas.

    Tyrese looks simple

    I hate Jada’s hair, but she is flawless. Madagascar was kinda funny….surprisingly.

    Everyone looks great. I am so glad Kelly is doing so well in other countries. She is so beautiful. I wish she would get that same love here. But who cares, she is still hot! BTW she has a new song out called “Blaze” and I am loving it.

    Call me crazy but I’ve been trying to pinpoint exactly what it is about jada that makes her look so weird to me. Not only that she is hard in the face (muscular) but it’s the hair. I think Jada was just FIERCE with short hair. I don’t like the Long hair on her. It masks and hides too much of her beauty.

  17. I can’t hate, Diddy stays on the grind..he’s still ignorant as hell.

    I love John Legend, but he he lost some MAJOR cool points for this ensemble.

    The Game…that’s an IGNORANT pose, people don’t do that anymore. What kind of representation is that?

    Everyone else….eh!

    @14,i agree.that was soooooo stupid and then he’s too damn old to be posing like a myspace teenager……and at an event in Africa at that…lol.that just makes it seem so much worse

    Diddy is sooo arrogant.his explanation of “The King” is a load of bullsh….he knows he’s not talking about “every man”,shutup!but i still like his arrogant ass.

    The Game is just so pointless….why do that? You’re representing so much more than yourself being that you’re in Africa. Most people will never get to go there in their lives.

    John Legend…uhhh…I used to defend people saying he was gay. Key phrase: used to.

    The Truth

    O.k. LISTEN UP DIDDY: We know you are using that picture to promote your goal to become the next James Bond. Marketing Psychology is what it is and we are not buying it!!!! You cool but you will NOT be the next James Bond.

    hmmm Jada HAS NOT had surgery, she is getting older and her face is changing… and everything that was will no longer be the same cheekbones, nose, eyes, hair everything changes look at your parents or have you not noticed that their face is smaller as they age, they aren’t as tall as they once were… ignorance kills ….

    History in the making

    Kelly should be ASHAMED of herself! She went to africa mtv to pick up an award for Alicia keys, kelly needs to either create a better career for herself or leave the music industry and do something else.

    She has no self-esteem, and damn well no pride.

    The only nice thing I can say about her is that she looks good, love the dress.

    Game: Really?! A middle finger? Yeah, you’re cool. First of all, pull your pants up, not cute. And take off the bubble coat – You’re in Nigeria, the coldest it gets is 75.

    John: Wow! Suit was on point until the shoes. Got to go.

    LOL @ how FAT Diddy is in real life as opposed to that photoshopped picture of him inspite of all the baggy black he’s wearing. He truely does think he is King and not because of the fact that we are descendants of Kings but rather the fact that he’s an egotistical, self absorbed, opportunist. Some of these celebs kill me.
