With a fortune in excess of $250Million, he's one of the richest most successful entrepreneurs in America today . He claims to be a role model to young people and caring father, visting schools.. So why.. when obesity is such a major problem ( due to junk food), did he sign a $2m contract with Burger King the second largest manufacturer of fast food. Burger King will sponsor his tour. Did he really need the money? Did greed overtake his conscience?.

PeanutB52 I cannot agree with your comparison to Basketball players signing contracts with shoe companies. We all need to wear shoes. Shoes don't harm you or clog your arteries or give you coronaries, or make you obese, whoppers will!.

Whilst I realise that we all have responsibility over what we eat, young Diddy fans are impressionable. There will be massive advertising and promotion by Burger King when he tours. I believe that people in the public eye, celebrities have a duty of care, of responsibility to impressionable young fans.

Anitababy you say 'they need him' But with a personal fortune of $250m does he need them, or their money? Surely there are many companies he could chose to promote which would not be damaging to the health of youngsters.

Dollface, this is abslutely nothing to do with a 'brotha' or sita for that matter 'gettin their cheese on'
He's worth $250Million.
If Diddy needs more Dosh than there far more ethical corporations he could chose to promote than a fast fod chain when we have an epidemic of obesity in young people.

He is money hungry like most people in the world. If you could make that kind of money you would be just as ruthless. Most people are greedy that is why the world is obese.

People making themselves obese is a personal choice and has nothing to do with BK or P. Diddy. Bk doesn't snatch people off the sidewalks and force them into the restaurants and neither does Diddy. It's so tedious when general responsibility is heaped on a business or individual for choices that people make themselves that are harmful. Another prime example is cigarette smoking and alcohol abuse. People are responsible for what they choose to do to themselves.

Oh my gawd, are you serious? That's weak! P. Diddy ... let me just say something real quick. It kills me to refer to people by their silly nicknames. There's this group of kids here in Vegas who call themselves "The Allstars," and they're just a stupid group of college kids, and all the bars near campus are like, "Oh, the Allstars stopped by last night...." If it was the Harlem Globetrotters, I'd be impressed. I don't care about a group of Vegas Hoodlums.
Sorry about that. Completely off-topic. I absolutely, 100% think he couldn't keep his mitts off the contract. It's funny how, with money, it's never, EVER enough. Doesn't matter who you are.
Man, I'm fiesty this evening.

Thats like asking why basketball players sign with shoe companies, to continue doing business. Just because he is rich that means he has to sit around and not take on any extra work. Hes not being greedy hes being a smart business man
