Justin Timberlake may think that he’s bringing "Sexyback,” but according to Diddy—it never left.
Diddy, known for his extravagant use of the word “sexy,” has no problem letting the blue-eyed soul singer use his catchphrase for his new single, but not before making a few things clear.
"I'm a big fan of Justin and he's allowed to use my catchphrase 'sexy' and run with it,” Diddy told Contact Music. “I mean, I got it from somebody else, so it's all good. [But] I am the king of the sexy, Justin. Let's not get it twisted."

The rapper/producer—who was recently awarded a star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame—may be a contender for the king of hip hop as well, as he was recently deemed the "Richest Person in Hip Hop" by the Panache Report website.
After six months of research, the site’s creator Myra Panache, found that the Bad Boy had $346 million, edging out Def Jam President Jay-Z ($340 million) and Def Jams co-founder Russell Simmons ($325 million).
Sales of Diddy’s men’s fragrance “Unforgiveable” provided the numbers that pushed him to the top spot. According to Panache, Diddy earned an additional $6 million this year from the fragrance. His other earnings come from the sale of his Bad Boy record label to Warner Music Group and his Sean John clothing line.
Runner-up Jay-Z’s fortunes come from his stake in the New Jersey Nets, Armadale Vodka, his 40/40 nightclub chain, and his $3 million Def Jam salary.
So So Def founder Jermaine Dupri made the list for the first time this year, tying Nelly at 10th place with $60 million.
Check out the top ten list:
*
Diddy, $346 Million
*
Jay-Z, $340 Million
*
Russell Simmons, $325 Million
*
Damon Dash, $200 Million
*
Neptunes, $155 Million
*
Dr. Dre, $150 Million
*
Ice Cube, $145 Million
*
Eminem, $110 Million

Brooklyn’s Eli Dancy had grown tired of seeing rates of HIV infection increase in African-American males. His solution—the Safe Sex Certificate.
Dancy’s company, STFree Certifications, offers the certificate, a card that fits in a wallet, as a way for people to instantly show the dates and results of their last two HIV tests. If someone is tested by STFree, their results are stored by the company. The results can be verified by calling a toll-free number that’s available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Dancy, a veteran of the adult entertainment industry, started STFree to combat the rise in the number of people infected with sexually transmitted diseases, specifically HIV.
“The continuing rise in the number of HIV infected people is not unavoidable,” he says. “As an African-American male, I wanted to prove that prevention efforts can be truly effective with this easy-to-use initiative.”
The Centers for Disease Control and the New York State Board of Health agree with Dancy. Both groups recognize and have approved the Safe Sex Certificate.

Alicia Keys is finally coming clean about her relationship with longtime production partner Kerry “Krucial” Brothers, which she’s kept on the low for a few years now. In the new issue of Sister 2 Sister, Alicia says she waited twelve months before giving Krucial the keys to her goodies. Smart girl.

Rapper the Game has called off his engagement to actress Valeisha Butterfield. The couple announced their wedding plans earlier this year, as part of an exclusive interview with Sister 2 Sister, but their whirlwind romance is over. The two had been strictly friends when Game proposed to her. He is now allegedly dating his ex-girlfriend, Tiffany, who accompanied him to the Los Angeles premiere of his new movie Waist Deep.
And in happy engagement news, Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West popped the question to his ex-girlfriend Alexis while they were vacationing overseas. The two had broken up for a minute when West was dating an MTV assistant named Brooke. I guess he had never really broken all ties with his ex.
And there you have it all the dirt that gets swept under the rug.

Diddy Catching Heat From 50
Thursday. 8.31.06 10:58 am
If you haven't heard the 50 cent diss to Diddy yet check it here. WTF is this dude so pissy about? Sounds like he's just salty about the Mase deal not going down with Puff. He loses serious cool points for being this damn mad over some Mase. But anyways, in the diss 50 makes sure to let everybody know that G-Unit IS hip-hop and Puff aint shit. 50 said Puff knows damn well who killed Biggie. He then talks about how he doesn't want to do a deal anymore, let alone go to his annual white party. And I quote,
"I don't wanna hang out with ya punk ass no way...I'll f*ck yo shit up...You cazy n*gga?"
And to top it all off, 50 said he's threatening to tell everybody what Misa (Puff's baby momma) supposedly told him. I'm sure that has something to do with those DL rumors floatin' around about Diddy.
So Puff hit up Hot 97 yesterday playing it cool about this whole diss record. He said 50's still invited to the white party and there are no hard feelings. Whateva Puff. Clearly he's just picking his battles.
