P.Diddy Has Hissy Fit Over His Party

Sean Diddy Combs is known for his legendary gatherings, with his annual White Party drawing huge crowds. Diddy threw himself an impromptu birthday party this past weekend at Mansion in NYC, and things didn't exactly go as planned.

Page Six is reporting that the rapper gave a designer a budget of $7,000 to transform the place into an all-white themed space. He requested 1.000 white roses, blow-ups of himself as well as Barack Obama, and tons of white fabric. Sounds easy enough, right?

It would be if not for the fact that the designer was only given 12 hours to complete the task. After the room was set up, a spy told the paper, "Diddy declared it dreadful and went into a major hissy fit, screaming, 'Show me the receipts!' and 'Get the money back!' to his assistant."

Diddy then began to tear the fabric off the walls as he shouted at the guy. What's Diddy so upset about anyway - isn't $7,000 pocket change to him?
