Barcelona - Millionaire rapper Sean "P. Diddy" Combs
has wished his one-time love Jennifer Lopez the best
of luck in her future with actor Ben Affleck, saying
marriage was "a beautiful thing".
"I hope it works out," Combs said on Tuesday during
preparations for the MTV Europe Music Awards, in
response to news his former long-term partner was
going to marry Affleck.
Combs, who showered Lopez with extravagant gifts and
jewels during their much publicised romance, made
sure to point out what she was missing out on.
Flashing a huge canary yellow diamond on his finger,
the hip hop star promised to lavish his future wife
with such jewels.
Singer-actress Lopez, also known as J.Lo, split from
Combs last year while he was on trial in New York on
weapons and bribery charges. He was later acquitted.
Lopez (32) married dancer Cris Judd but later
separated, sparking talk she might get back with
Combs, also 32. However, Lopez revealed in an
interview with America's ABC television this week
that she was engaged to current beau Affleck.
Both Lopez and Combs have been nominated for awards
at the MTV event in Barcelona on Thursday. But Diddy,
who is also hosting the awards, said he did not feel
upstaged by his former girlfriend's big news.
"By Thursday, everyone will be focused on me again,"
he said.
Combs, who has made a fortune from his Bad Boy
Entertainment rap label and Sean John clothing line,
said he would make sure the awards were the sexiest
ever.
The Harlem-born rapper has demanded a long list of
luxuries as a condition for hosting the event,
including flowers, mirrors, tequila, a trainer and
copies of the movie Scarface.
"I've probably got the most extensive (list of
special requests) of anyone here," he said.
Combs had turned up an hour late for his news
conference earlier, blaming indecision over what to
wear.
Decked out in Dolce & Gabbana and his own label, he
said he was also going to great lengths to ensure
guests at his after-show party on Thursday would make
as much effort.
"The P. Diddy party policy will be in force.
Manicures and pedicures will be required as will
waxing and good hygiene. Everyone will be checked out
at the door," he said.
Combs didn't reckon his chances on winning the award
for best rapper. "I think it's Eminem's year".
Eminem will be among artists performing at the awards
on Thursday, alongside Britain's Coldplay and Robbie
Williams, rocker Bon Jovi and popstar Christina
Aguilera.
