The Atlanta Journal Constitution is reporting that Sean “Diddy” Combs is closing his Atlanta restaurant Justin’s. The restaurant had been open for over a decade and had been a popular place spot for locals and tourists since 1998. Initially it was rumored that Justin’s was undergoing renovations and would close for a short time until the project was completed. However, today a spokesperson for Bad Boy Entertainment confirmed the restaurant would close for good. The statement indicated the decision to close Justin’s was made so Diddy could pursue other business ventures in music, television and fashion.

Earlier this week we reported that  Sean “Diddy” Combs’ restaurant, Justin’s, was rumored to close today. The restaurant’s general manager, Solomon Fornie, denied the closure was permanent, instead indicating that the restaurant would undergo renovations for a short period before reopening.

Today, we received word from a spokesperson for Bad Boy Worldwide Entertainment Group (BBWEG), founded by Combs, confirming rumors that the 14-year-old restaurant will not reopen.
