NORWALK, Conn. – A helicopter made its way to Norwalk Thursday, carrying a well known musician: rap star Sean "P. Diddy" Combs.
Combs' car broke down on the way to an afternoon meeting at Diageo, so the singer used his "other transportation," according to his Twitter account. The helicopter landed on the roof of Diageo's digs at 801 Main Ave.
"I seen u today when u were landing in Norwalk CT that's my job I work in buliding 901!!!" wrote Twitter user derrus in response.
Combs has been marketing Ciroc, a vodka label, in conjunction with Diageo for more than four years, according to Drinks International.
You can see photos of Combs' latest adventure by checking out his Twitter feed. Watch it, the language is explicit.

HAHA great post
YOU SUMMED UP THE STOOGE PERFECTLY
LOL... very funny! Even though 98% of what you wrote isn't true, thanks for taking some time on a beautiful Sunday morning to give me a chuckle!
Setting aside your name calling, how are any of my comments racist?
As I've said in the past, you seem overly wrapped up in who is a Democrat and who is a Republican. News flash: the voters don't care! We just want elected officials to make the best deal for taxpayers that they can, rather than pander to Unions whose goal is to extract as much as possible from City coffers.
What I would like is for Mr. Watts to fight for ALL of Norwalk's 85,000 people, rather than 10 DPW Union workers who are going to be reassigned as part of a plan to save taxpayers $1+ million per year.

Its nice that contributions are made its better when its informative and interesting to us all.
Thak you Daily for your coverage of our city.
My sources tell me that a very sweaty and disheveled Norwalk Common Councilman by the name of David Watts barged into P. Diddy's meeting at Diageo. He proceeded to beg P. Diddy for some feedback on how to be a better rapper. P. Diddy's advice was as follows:
1) Find a better recording location, your Mom's basement isn't impressing anybody.
2) Dress better, that City Employees Union T-shirt isn't impressing anybody either.
3) Eat BEFORE you record, this way you won't have to rap with food in your mouth.
4) If a group of kids make a rap that's better than yours, don't get offended, attack them, and tell them that they should stop challenging you due to the color of your skin.
Lwitherspoon,
You have zero class and should seek some help. This is not funny and it adds nothing to the debate.
It's too bad that some members of Common Council have no sense of humor and a very thin skin. They dish it out, but they can't take it.
You truly are a racist ignorant fool
As usual, the only accuracy in your comment is the time stamp. How, pray tell, is anything written here racist?
As usual lwitherspoon denies the facts that his post is racist and he is an ignorant fool. You need to be apologizing for this post and the daily should ban you. Hey yesterday someone was reading your post along with me and they wanted to know of you have some type of mental disorder..DO YOU?
You seem to think that crime and racism are a joke all for a few bucks
$$$$$$$$$$$$
As usual I will ignore your childish name-calling and petty insults.
Thanks for confirming that you can't explain how any comments on this page are racist.
Your name calling and petty insults say more about you than about me. Thanks for re-confirming that you can't explain how any of my comments are racist.
This is arrogant, offensive and uncalled for. If there is any truth in this you should list your sources. If this is completely fabricated by you, you should apologize and refrain from such trash talk in the future. It is unseemly and does nothing to further civil discourse in our town.

You are so right ..He has a history of these type of posts. He will deny this but that is what he does time and again...
Thank you for your comment. Political satire dates back to the ancient Greeks and it usually shows up every day on most newspaper editorial pages in the form of a political cartoon. It is not unseemly, and does not constitute a lowering of civil discourse. Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_satire for more on satire.
In answer to your question, the above is NOT a complete fabrication by me. Satire always has an element of fact in it. Let me highlight the factual content:
FACT: Councilman David Watts wore AFSCME Union T-shirts to at least two Common Council meetings this year where the agenda included discussion of Union wages, benefits, and positions. I can only guess as to why he did this. Perhaps it was to show everyone that even though Councilman Watts is an elected official responsible for spending our tax dollars wisely, he prioritizes the interests of Union members over those of taxpayers.
FACT: Councilman David Watts recorded a rap video criticizing the City administration for trading in the Mayor's old vehicle, which was in need of major service. We don't know for a fact that it was produced in his Mom's basement as he has not commented on the production location. In any event, nobody will dispute that the production values on the video were very poor and it was shot in a location which was not suitable for producing quality rap videos.
FACT: A group of minority youth recorded a rap video of their own in response to the one by Watts, defending the Mayor. Watts responded by attacking the youths' motives. Watts then questioned whether or not it was appropriate to let this non-profit group of minority youths use City space for free.
FACT: Watts himself told the youths that they shouldn't have criticized him, because he is one of only two African-American elected officials in Norwalk.
FACT: A short time later, Watts signed a letter to the editor strongly criticizing Councilman Carvin Hilliard, who is one of only two African-American elected officials in Norwalk.
Now that I think about it, sometimes the facts ARE funnier than any satire.
And in choosing to spend your time slinging insults and personal attacks what have you contributed and what have you told us about yourself?
Nice try, but factual statements about the public actions of a Common Councilman do not constitute insults and personal attacks. The only people who should be insulted here are the vast majority of taxpayers whose needs are ignored when the Councilman panders to Unions. On the other hand, saying someone has "zero class" and "should seek help" does constitute an insult and a personal attack. So it seems that your comment was directed at the wrong person.
Lwitherspoon,
Does your side pander to City Carting? Yes, they gave the mayor a lot of money in the last election cycle. The public has a right to know if this is a pay to play town. Everybody, knew City Carting had the inside connections- why did city give the mayor big donations?
Vague and murky allegations of corruption with no proof don't really mean much. If you have proof that something corrupt happened, by all means bring it forward, so that the parties involved can be prosecuted. I don't like the campaign contribution system any more than anybody else does, because no matter what happens it raises a lot of questions that can never be answered. Big business contributes to Republicans, and Unions funnel giant sums of money to the Democratic Party. One has to wonder what kind of Union money and favors are involved here, given the fact that Councilman Watts is making such a big stink about 10 Union guys being reassigned. Yet another question that can never be answered.
All that aside, the real question that we should focus on is, will outsourcing save taxpayers $1+ million per year, or won't it? I have heard zero from you about that. Whether or not the savings are real is what independent-minded taxpayers such as myself want to know. If the savings are real, the vast majority of taxpayers will support the plan. If the savings aren't real, we won't. Accusing people of Union busting doesn't mean much to anybody except the tiny fraction of Norwalk residents who are Union employees. The rest of Norwalk's 85,000 residents consider ourselves lucky to have any job at all, much less a cushy Union job. So we'd appreciate it if Watts and others would redirect their focus to what's best for us, rather than what's best for Unions.
Should have brought him for a tour of South Norwalk (all of Norwalk) so he could see the crime tape
