P Diddy once refused to leave Sydney airport for a huge 15 hours because he wasn’t happy with the colour of his limo. 

Who said celebrities were out of touch? Refusing to leave an international airport because your limo isn’t the right colour is a perfectly normal thing for a human being to do, Diddy. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

The dismaying claim was made by Ian “Dicko” Dickson during a chat with Stab, Abby, and Matt on Brisbane radio station B105.

P Diddy, otherwise known as Sean Combs, Puffy, Diddy, and Puff Daddy, was sent a limo but was unhappy when it was white, according to Dickson. When they then changed the colour of the limo to attempt to satisfy his demands, he still was left angry.

“And then when we finally sent a black one, he said ‘I’m not leaving because the stereo system in the limo is not good enough for me to listen to my mixes’,” Dickson revealed.

“So that idiot sat around the bloody airport for about 15 hours like Tom Hanks in that movie,” he added, a reference to 2004’s The Terminal, in which the character is forced to live in an airport.

Dickson, a veteran of the industry, admitted that these types of things were inevitable in the world of celebrities. “I would love to be that famous and that unreasonable, it would be awesome,” he joked. Wouldn’t we all.

Radio host Matt was particularly unimpressed by Diddy’s demands. “No one’s given them the tough love to say get out of the aeroplane you idiot and get to the hotel,” he said.

Dickson then said something that probably changed his mind about ever taking someone like Diddy on: “I mean it’s a bit scary with P Diddy, all of his security are packing heat so you’re not going to go after them.”

P Diddy has yet to comment on Dickson’s claims about being a diva at Sydney Airport.
