Saudi Arabia: No Free Oil for Sean Combs  · Global Voices
Amira Al Hussaini

American rapper Sean Puff Diddy Combs has appealed to his ‘brothers and sisters in Saudi Arabia’ and other oil producing countries to donate some oil to keep his private jet afloat.
The multi-millionaire Grammy Awards winner says soaring gas prices are making it difficult for him to use his private jet, and now has to use commercial airlines to fly. He made his appeal in the following vlog:
Saudi bloggers react. Saudi Jeans quips:
American rapper Sean Puffy Combs complains about the high cost of gasoline, and says he can no longer afford to fly his private jet from New York to Los Angeles twice a month. He is begging the Saudis to send him some free oil so that he can fly in his private jet once again. Sorry bro, you ain’t gonna get nothin’ from these shores, because, just in case you didn’t know, we ain’t got no oil wells in our backyards to give away for free.
Rasheed Abou-Alsamh adds:
Puffy says that a roundtrip costs him $200,000 and that he allegedly cannot afford that. In the video he appeals to his “Saudi sisters and brothers” to send him some free oil so that he can fly in his private jet once again.
I don't think that he's going to get a shipment of jet fuel anytime soon as the Saudis have shown again and again how hard-nosed they can be when it comes to oil prices. A super-rich entertainer such as Puffy might get invited to perform at the private bash of a Saudi royal, but he sure isn't going to get free oil, he can bet on that!
