NEW YORK, New York -- Even Diddy's complaining about high prices at the pump. The rap mogul took to his YouTube video blog to rant about the rising cost of gas, which he says has grounded his private jet.

"Even your boy is being affected by gas prices!" Sean "Diddy" Combs said in the video, which was filmed at an airline gate as he entered a plane. "As you know, I do own my own jet and I have been having flying back and forth to L.A. pursuing my acting career. Now, if I'm flying back and forth like twice in a month, that's like $200,000 or $250,000 round trip. I'm back on American Airlines right now. OK? Your boy Diddy right now is on American Airlines."

The aspiring Hollywood star last acted in the TV movie "A Raisin in the Sun," a performance the Wall Street Journal called "sterling."

In order to help the New York-based impresario keep up his presence in Hollywood, Diddy also begged his "Saudi Arabian brothers and sisters" to send him some oil for his jet before saying that him flying commercial proved that gas prices were too high.

"Look I'm at the gate right now," he said. "We need to do something about, so tell whoever the next president is that we need to bring gas back down."

    CLASSIC. Here is a hint. If you can't afford the GAS to fire up your jet, then maybe you can't afford the JET!! HAAAAAAAAAAA Puffy is the ultimate symbol of empty, bling/bling excess and everything the black community should be running from! All flash, ZERO SUBSTANCE

    For those of you who cant figure this out - it means for the 36000 cases where black men raped a white women - there were ZERO cases of white on black rape. Now, if it is the white 'oppressor' LIKE I HEAR CONSTANTLY then how come it is 36000 to zero that blacks search out white victims for rape. WAKE UP AMERICA - YOU ARE BEING OVERRUN BY BLACK ON WHITE CRIME - Diddy - get bent.

    Welcome to the real world you arrogant douche. No one gives a crap about your private jet. We're all too busy trying to decide whether to eat or put gas in our private vehicles.
