P Diddy: I can't afford to fly my private jet

Rapper moans about fuel prices and takes an American Airlines flight

P Diddy says he doesn't want to pay $250,000 for a round trip to LA

P Diddy has been ranting on YouTube about the rocketing gas prices in the US. Fuel is so expensive that he's had to stop flying his private jet to Hollywood and take an American Airlines flight instead.

'It's criminal!' says the rapper in a clip filmed as he boards a scheduled flight. 'Commercial seats do not cradle the sexy the way private jet seats do.

'As you know, I do own my own jet and I have been having flying back and forth to LA pursuing my acting career. Now, if I’m flying back and forth, like, twice in a month that’s like $200,000 or $250,000 round trip. F**k that. I’m back on American Airlines right now.'

The musician, 38 - real name Sean Combs - asks his Saudi Arabian 'brothers and sisters' to help him out.

'If you could all please send me some oil for my jet I would truly appreciate it,' he smiles. 'We need to do something about it, so tell whoever the next president is that we need to bring gas back down.'
