Diddy recently told Vibe magazine that Nightline Host Martin Bashir’s question about him giving his son a Maybach for his birthday was racist:

“There were times in the interview when I had to give him an ultimatum,” Diddy told Vibe. “The questions weren’t being handled the right way. In hindsight, when I saw him, I shouldn’t had done the interview because I know the style of interview that he does . . .. The whole thing about giving a Maybach to my son, that’s really like a racist question.”

“You don’t ask White people what they buy their kids,” he continued. “And they buy ‘em Porsches and convertible Bentleys, and it ain’t no question. It’s really a racist question and put things back in perspective with money and the way that people still look at you. And I’m not saying that consciously he’s a racist. But he probably don’t even realize that he would not ask Steve Jobs that. He would be like Steve Jobs has that money and that’s the gift his kid is supposed to get.”
