Ibiza Revellers (Reportedly) Ridicule Puff Daddy

American hip hop star P Diddy was reportedly left 'visibly shaken' this week
week after clubbers at Ibiza superclubs Pacha and Space booed and jeered him
after he started performing, particularly at Space.

"The crowd reaction was so bad, he was forced to leave the stage," an
unnamed source told the Mirror.

"[P. Diddy] looked very hurt and was heard asking one of his flunkies, 'Why
don't they dig me-'", the San Francisco Examiner added.

However, press agents for Erick Morillo, who hosted Puff's PA at Pacha, said
both gigs had gone well, and quoted another unnamed source as saying his
Space show had 'erupted'.

"Puffy came on and worked up the crowd, blowing air horns, getting the crowd
to crouch down and jump up and was being very friendly & approachable," the
source said.

"He was totally un-bling bling."

The media backlash came months after P Diddy hinted he could be tiring of
Ibiza, in a surprisingly illuminating interview with Pacha's in-house
magazine Pacha.

"I'll keep coming back but the crazy prices are spoiling it," the
multi-millionaire Bad Boy chief complained.

"All of a sudden it's getting really expensive. It used to be a place where
everybody could afford to experience it, but it's a lot harder for people to
come. Me personally, I'll go where the fresh music is," said Puffy.
