Diddy Talks Diddy Dog Food, Explains Mind-F*cking to Nightline
Diddy stopped by Nightline recently to interview with the comically earnest Martin Bashir. Together, they dig into the hard hitting issues, including Diddy dog food, the definition of mind-f*cking, and the appropriateness of Diddy buying his son a Maybach.
Bashir treats every interview subject - whether it's Diddy or the Insane Clown Posse - as if they are J. Robert Oppenheimer. Bashir sees Diddy as a man of contradictions: he wonders how Diddy can reconcile his image of himself as the "black James Bond" with the fact that he has fathered multiple children with different women. They ponder how a "hard core gangster rapper" should approach middle age. And the tension gets thick when Bashir wonders what sort of lessons about money Diddy is teaching his son by buying him a Maybach for his 16th birthday.
Two mysteries remain: (1) why the hell they are interviewing Diddy in the first place (2) why ABC insists on awkwardly pairing Bashir with rappers as interview subjects.
