Diddy Gives Son $360K Maybach for His 16th Birthday

Getting a car for your 16th birthday is pretty exciting for most teens. But when your dad is P. Diddy, a used Toyota -- heck, even a brand spanking new Toyota -- just won't do.
Because Diddy's kid rolls in a Maybach. Justin Dior Combs received the silver German luxury sports car -- which set his famous pop back $360,000 -- at his birthday bash last weekend, reports US Weekly.
Diddy also gifted his son with a $10,000 check to open a bank account, the magazine reports, adding that Justin is donating it to relief efforts in Haiti.
"I'm just ecstatic right now," Justin told Us at his party, which, we hear, will be featured on an upcoming episode of MTV's "My Super Sweet 16." "Words can't even describe how I feel. I'm so blessed and thankful for all of this."
Yeah, when we were 16, we were thankful our dad let us drive his 1980 Ford Fairmont.
Diddy, 40, says his own sweet 16 party was a bit more low-key than his son's New York City extravaganza, where guests included Pauly D and Snooki from "Jersey Shore" and rap star Lil' Kim.
"I don't think I even had a party!" he tells Us. "I think I had a cake -- and that was it!"
What do you think about a 16-year-old receiving a $360,000 car?

With the money they have I know it's nothing but how about a car half that price for now and save the $360k one for when he graduates high school. I think him donating the money was nice but it also shows how much he really doesn't need the money. A really giving thing would have been forgo the huge party and send the $$ to Hait. After all that $10,000 is like a $20 to them.

airnot7 said...Diddy's son: His 16yr old son given this kind of car is like me giving my kid a Honda. Thats how it is. I like LLcool J, he supposedly drives a Honda, he's so fine and heallthy looking he is the show not his car. I think maybe his children might fare much better if he has these standards. Paris Hilton has a Bentley, so Diddy wants his child to be viewed as good as her. Unfortunatly people in general want their children to have what they think they missed as children. People want to relive their life through their children, and that spells disappointment for your children are individuals and will write their own fate. Although must say money helps pave the way to ruin or success and having a Father truly helps if Dad is sensible.

Kandis said...I think that its great. If you had all that money and your child was sixteen wouldnt you get him/her a nice car. Because I thought you were supposed to want your kids to have more than you. Or all of you who detest Hatin because you want the car and the economy is just starting get back up so you can't get it. All the ppl hatin on P.Diddy and his FFFIIINNNEEE!!! SON.
