Diddy mistaken for Kanye West at Art Basel

theGRIO REPORT - Art dealer and collector Jeffrey Deitch apparently bumped into Diddy and said, 'Hi Kanye...'

Luther Vandross was outed as gay after his death.

Do you think Diddy and Kanye West look alike?

Apparently one of the attendees at the annual Art Basel in Miami confused the two, according to the New York Post.

Art dealer and collector Jeffrey Deitch apparently bumped into Diddy and said, “Hi Kanye…”

Deitch who is said to be “mortified” by his mistake, later explained himself to the Post:

“There was a big crowd gathered at the entrance to an art fair booth. I asked the dealer what the commotion was about and she said, ‘Kanye is here.’ I could only see the person from the back, and went over to say ‘Hi Kanye.’ To my great embarrassment, it turned out to be P Diddy. He thought it was very funny, especially since we had spent several hours together visiting my street art show in Los Angeles.”
