Talk about a sweet 16.
For his 16th birthday, Diddy gave his son Justin Dior Combs a brand-new silver Maybach (price tag: $360,000).
The teen received the wheels at a lavish bash Saturday night at M2 Ultralounge club in NYC. (Among the guests: Jersey Shore stars Paul "Pauly D" Delvecchio, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and rapper Lil' Kim.)

Diddy, 40, also gave his son a $10,000 check to open a bank account. (For the record, Justin is donating it all to Haiti relief.)
"I'm just ecstatic right now," Justin told UsMagazine.com at his party, which 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."
Can you believe Diddy was romantically linked to this celeb?
Diddy said his son's elaborate bash is in stark contrast to how he celebrated his 16th birthday back in the day.

"I don't think I even had a party!" Diddy told Us. "I think I had a cake -- and that was it!"
But Diddy said he was happy to open his wallet for Justin (whose mother is Diddy's ex, Misa Hylton-Brim).

Diddy told Us he's so happy how his son "has grown and matured ... how well-behaved he is; how respectful of a kid he is. It just makes me proud."
Tell Us What You Think
157Diddy loves his kids, that's obvious. Any parent whether rich, middle income, working class or poor is going to make mistakes. Maybe this wasn't the best idea, but I'm sure Diddy meant well. He must be doing something right, b'cause his son reportedly gave 10,000.00 (of his b-day $) to a Haitian relieve fund. Oh, by the way, Jethro is a sucker! Pasta eating piece of crap.
he gave his son most expensive car for his b-day gift.
whats TACKY is how people buy his cologne, music, clothes, etc. If you really dislike Diddy and his wealth then stop buying his products. Its the people who made him wealthy enough to give his kids unnecerary toys like this. But on the other hand it is "HIS" Money, and buying his son a $360,000 Maybach for his sixteenth birthday is what he saw fit. I dont see how pple on here can sit up and criticize his parenting and how he spends his money. People always looking for a reason to put down black people, especially rich black people. Why the does Diddy have to donate his hard earned money to Haiti?? thats not his responsibility. It is good to see his son showing compassion and concern, that was a very mature act on his part. So you people can go crawl back into your holes, because the last time I checked Diddy is one man and is damn sure not responsible for all the rediculous things happening on this planet. And if I had the cash, I wouldnt donate a damn thang to Haiti. How much money out of your income have you donated to Haiti??? Oh lemme guess, ZERO!
that sweet
O.M.G that so sweet
you people do realize that is .1% of his overall wealth, right? that is one tenth of a percent. that is the basically the same thing as someone making 50k a year giving his kid $50 bucks for the weekend. come on people calm down. im sure the Maybach has a pro driver anyway so he isnt going to wreck that jewel
P. Diddy proves the well know theory you can't buy class or good taste. He probably feels sorry for the kid having to live with being relentlessly teased about his GIANT ALIEN FREAK HEAD. P Diddy should use his millions to employ a plastic surgeon and an African Head shrinker to attempt to shrink his son GIANT ALIEN FREAK noggin.
Really he has every right to buy his kid that car; it's his money and he should donate it? Why, I'm pretty sure many people don't donate their money to charities, and if they do the chance are it is not going where they think. Freaking get off your high horse. Diddy has over $360,000,000 so that Maybach would be the same as an average income family giving their kid an average coming of age car. As the saying goes, "You can't fix jealousy!!!" Diddy's son was probably the nicest kid on the show, and just because you're raised with money doesn't mean your life needs to revolve around not giving your children anything to enjoy themselves.
he to CUT3
There's nothing wrong with him giving his son ANYTHING no matter how much it cost. What, is he supposed to give all of his money away and not enjoy it and share with his family?!!!!! And, F*CK off to Jethro *sshole, how dare you say sh*t like that! Fkg idiot, mutha f*kr.
Diddy Buys his 16yr old son $360,000 car in this economy when people are starving....LOL
Can't wait until his SIXTEEN year old destroys the car -- as all teenagers learning to drive do. And then as Diddy continues to spend his money based on ignorance instead of humanity, he files for bankruptcy. Just sit back and watch the show - I am sure there will be more news to come. As we have all heard the saying "You can't fix stupid!!"
NICE DADDY! FAKE KHATE GOSSELIN WILL SPEND ALL HER CHILDREN'S MONEY BY THE TIME THEY ARE 16!
Jethro Jabooboo is a jealous a**hole and for his information he or she is the worst kind of Ni99er a racist one.
I do agree that the car is a bit much for a 16 year old but not for the reasons that have been posted on here. I just think so because teenagers usually wreck their 1st car. But in response to the comments that he should have given that money to a charity or donated to Haiti. I look at it like this have you all given money to Haiti? We are all so hard on celebrities for not giving more but alot of them do give alot of their income 10%-25%of it. Have any of you gave 10% of your income to a charity? Also look at the car issue like this Diddy buying his son a car that cost that much is the same as someone that makes $30,000 a year buying their kid a honda. I came from a very well off family and my first car was bought for me but I also had to get a job at 15 and work to pay for the ins. and gas and I am very glad my parents taught me those responsibilties.
Don't worry the car is only for the filming of the t.v. show. The car will probably be returned within 6mths. They are filming so they have to make it look good. The show is called my sweet 16th so they have all these ppl with money. I wish my son would ask me for a car like that when he turn 16, I don't care if I did have the money. I was an only child and my parents made sure that I worked and we was very well off, now 20yrs later I'm truly apprecitative of that, because I know what hard work and paying bills is all about.
don't worry it's only for the tv show. I bet you he rented it for a week. He's gonna be on sweet 16 show, they have to make it look good on t.v. That's crazy to give a child that young a car like that. He will find a reason for the car to go back after the filming of the show, check on it about 6mths later
@Jethro Jabooboo - ignorance is certainly your bliss. Your racist comment is uncalled for.
World hunger, etc., is not Diddy's problem. The problem is Diddy not establishing good values for his kid and the appreciation of working and earning. I think it is absolutely ridiculous to give a child such an astronomical gift, no matter how wealthy you are. It does teach a solid foundation of values. What will this 16 year old have to look forward to as he gets older? What values of appreciation will he learn by being given something this extravagant at such a young age? I have friends who are extremely wealthy, and they do not bestow such expensive gifts upon their kids. In fact, their kids have summer jobs or jobs after school etc., and learn that mom and dad worked for what they have and they have to work, too. Diddy is sending this kid the wrong message. I bet this kid will be in all sorts of trouble down the line. Diddy has set the path.
Teach your children that knowledge and values equal Power and not a Maybach. Educate your son first! At sixteen he should be preparing himself for higher education so he can one day be successful on his own. I sure hope he speaks well and will know how to do more than be seen in the spotlight womanizing and drinking expensive alcohol.
