"Is Diddy so valuable that you get to own a piece of the business without putting any money in to begin with?" "YES!"

[@busybeez88]

Jaleesa Trevelyan me Too

[@vi4reel]

Yes is definitely they right answer. Whoever heard of ciroc vodka before diddy started to plug it?

[@wtfftw3000]

He was right, ciroc did become popular

[@thenoblefamily9772]

Damn I've never seen so many jealous hating ass dudes in my life. Take something and learn from it. Get inspired! No wonder so many of yall are broke working dead end jobs.

[@AdamTheAd-vanc3d]

Indeed dnt beat a man down for takin care of his business and being succesful .

[@spreadthelove77]

Tell you what, I own 37 colognes and my two favourites are Sean Johns ‘I Am King’ and ‘Unforgivable’. Fresh as hell, both of ‘em.

[@miltonscott1322]

Diddy is the best mogul out here

[@PPCCO.]

say what you want about diddy, but not too many people can leverage their fame for a piece of real ownership of what their selling.. Not to mention he obtained a 50/50 profit deal on Ciroc. 50 50 FUCKING PROFIT CUTS ARE UNHEARD OF! salute to that man

[@TheOzieman]

This is a gentle man. It is your choice to be a gentle man.

[@kevincummings4563]

nothing y'all saying about him is effecting him or hurting his pockets. he is still the richest nigga in the game you will never get a chance to be around him.

[@CurtisDonDeano]

personal brand is REALLY IMPORTANT.

[@konradfitzgerald]

CurtisDonDeano no it’s not.

[@toddtoure7041]

Business minded and you can't get mad at him. Definitely you have to understand that he knows his Worth. One thing I know. You can't waste time on people who hate for a black man who is Big Success oriented in his thinking. Comes with the territory. 7.35 Billion people on Earth. Surely you will definitely do business with minimum half to 3 billion. Definitely if you have a worldwide product. I respect the Process.

[@AA-ji2my]

Todd Toure 50 cent is better personally

[@DonaldJonesartist]

he said yes straight out

[@sifisongema7174]

I'm really thrilled by this man

[@bnwo]

I just loved his simple yes answer.

[@akdoow3928]

He is my strength and power

[@chikitof1]

Diddy is the king of new york

[@willhaslem]

I thought it was Christopher Walken.

[@willhaslem]

Love Money Hes an actor who played a kingpin in the movie King of New York back in 1990. Check out the movie, classic.

[@willhaslem]

Love Money Damn its been 5 months since i lit a blunt, lite another one for me the king of bluntless lol :)

[@JoseMendez-om1rq]

Outstanding Excellence and Leadership!!

[@JoshuaNashcanada]

wow... Diddy and all his riches. "We gon' make everything beautiful!"

[@RizeRoG]

Diddy U the Bo$$ my nigga U the King ! #BadBoy #NYC

[@bornjust2003]

Went from zero to 1 billion (if he sold his stock in Ceroc) .... this is what you call a self made billionaire . Big ups Diddy ........ and ........Haters keep haten.

[@mikemiller290]

Would you guys rather get a million dollar investment for your business or get Diddy as a partner for no money upfront?

[@jaleesatrevelyan1510]

That's a tough question. I think I'd go with option A.

[@mikemiller290]

Amy Ross That's interesting. I guess it depends on how confident you are with marketing. I know having Diddy as a partner in whatever I do would be way more valuable in the long run than having a million dollars that I wouldn't necessarily know what to do with.

[@jaleesatrevelyan1510]

^ I agree which is why it was a difficult question to answer. Diddy definitely is an investment, one that is VERY profitable but I wouldn't know what to do with all that money which is why settling for a million dollars would be better for me.

[@carlosrosa8114]

take the million dollars, I'll be able to make my own choices.

[@Tyson007ian]

I thought you were joking with the question at first, but actually diddy is a bit more useful than I thought, however it depends on the business, personally I'm into investing so I could give 2 shits about diddy, but if you're into alcoholic beverages or nightclub or clothes then diddy is more useful, basically, products or services that are more of a trend, you'd be better off with diddy as he could start that trend, otherwise, nah.

[@greatestofalltime01]

why he answers the question like its McDonald interview

[@shaquandavis9905]

You got damn right Ditty.

[@InfektionFoxtrot]

Diddy is the master of parting sheepish brand fools with their money.

[@DRKWxd]

He's intelligent; he understands filling people's superficial needs is a valuable market. At $50.00 a bottle, he's done an excellent job at it too.

[@AdamTheAd-vanc3d]

+DRKWxd Exactly people want to waste their money on bullshit and call it living or enjoying life let them get on witg it each to our own .

[@claricegwanya9906]

We have it in SA and other countries!! People buy it and enjoy it!!

[@shamargreen3388]

I smoke the blunt Puff sips the berries-B.I.G.

[@JesusIsGod222]

[@bb65346]

dame dash, take notes!!!!!

[@kingjames4053]

How much is Ciroc in the US? Because in Europe is like 50€, while normal vodka is about 10-15€ and nobody buys it

[@mikelongbottom316]

King James 30 usd for 750ml. Cheapest vodka you can get is about 10-15 for 750ml

[@DavidMossMGS]

Don’t be poor

[@maxk888]

Ciroc sells 2 million litre bottles a year. you do the math and my man is making a killing as a 50 percent share holder

[@tblowinpurp]

He might be smart but people r dumb that's the problem.

[@wutangclan3591]

Tee Glock Exactly. I dont think Diddy is something special, I could have done just as if not better and greater than him if I had the same name and wealth through music

[@plusmaster100]

you really believe that?

[@beyond305]

[@karlhenry9031]

[@anarki777]

It's too easy to make money if you're diddy. Here's an example: Me: Yo, guys! I just made some new shoes! Come check it out! *silence* Diddy: Yo, guys! I just made some new shoes! Come check it out! Random people: Yo manz I needz to buy me some of dos diddy shoes ya dig? *Diddy makes millions*

[@PayamLarijani]

Why doesn't this guy give back to his community? Maybe he does but I haven't heard of it. So greedy!

[@leonardschofield9913]

Why doesn't he community support itself ?

[@TheRemake1]

+Leonard Schofield lol

[@DiosanXaquerry]

+Payam Larijani He does give back to the community.... he just sent a million dollars in water to flint michigan, and that is literally a drop in the bucket of what he does....

[@faa1412]

+Payam Larijani Well he's about to open a multi-million dollar charter school that has been in the works for 5 years now. I'm pretty sure he has done more but was very low-key about it. Everything good deed doesn't need to be talked about. Give in silence watch God bless you in Public.

[@scf828]
