P Diddy launched a search of the studio audience at BET music video show '106 & Park' last week, after he lost a ring worth $20,000.
He was performing with rap group Dirty Money, who were throwing fake $100 bills into the air. When the audience realised that there was real money mixed in with the dodgy bills, it sounds like there was a bit of a stampede, and while all this was going on, Diddy managed to throw one of his rings off his finger.
When he discovered the loss, he had the building locked and refused to let the audience leave until all 160 of them had been searched. He reluctantly let them go after security staff found nothing.
Commenting via Twitter later, Diddy said: "A lot of people are asking about a ring I lost. Yes I did. And that's OK. I lose things too. You win some you lose some. My loss is another's gain. It's OK to lose things because it makes you appreciate what you still have! I didn't like that ring any way!"
I'm sure that makes all the people he treated like criminals feel a lot better. I wonder if he asked for all the money he'd been throwing at them back, too.
