Rumor Control: Diddy Creates "I Am King" Commercial, Not A James Bond Audition Tape!
Posted on December 2, 2008 2:44 PM
OK, so I know there have been numerous rumors going around about Diddy's "I Am King" commercial that's floating around the web. But I've got it on confirmed authority that everyone is misunderstanding the concept. Check out the video here.
Puff traveled to the luxurious South of France to film the promo near the Casino Royale, the inspiration behind current Bond Daniel Craig's debut film in the long-running franchise. The video is classic Sean. It's over the top and expensive, but it isn't an audition tape.
The footage is from Sean John's "I Am King" commercial. And what you are looking at is edited b-roll from the video shoot.
The superb editing may lead you to believe that it was made specifically for a "James Bond" audition tape, but my source assures me that isn't the case. And my source even told me that the rumored 700k budget hasn't been confirmed.
While Diddy has spoken publicly about his desire to become the first black "Bond", surely he must know that you've got to go through the audition process like every other celebrity A lister, right?
Can't we all just enjoy the concept, purchase the fragrance and move onto a real scandal?

If you watch Diddy's blog, he does comment that it is an audition tape as well. It came straight out of his mouth, so you should do your research. Not a big deal but the concept is not being misunderstood at all. Here is the proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zByX8-lZENY .
