Diddy Buys Son a Brand New Maybach
text size: A- A+
Does this sound shocking to you? Not at all, we guess, because this isn't the first time when Diddy goes the extreme way when buying presents for his son. The American rapper, who has one stepdaughter - Quincy who is 19 years old, and is father to Justin, 16, Christian Casey, 12, twin daughters, D'Lila Star and Jessie, four, and four-year-old daughter Chance, bought Justin a $300,000 Maybach last year too when he was only 16.
This time, Justin really deserved his gift because he really improved his grades, as Softpedia writes.
"Justin has turned himself around and is now an honors student, which he wasn't before, so I wanted to treat him," Diddy was quoted as saying by popeater.com. "It's a collector's car so maybe he will use it for special occasions like on a first date, but like all my kids, he prefers the simpler things than the expensive things. Simple tastes."
Last year however, Diddy commented on a bitter tone on the criticism that targeted his decision to buy his son such an expensive car.
"You don't ask white people what they buy their kids," Diddy explained at that time. "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."

One of the reason why we want success is to purchase what we desire, you work hard for it, why not spend it on people you love. And someone that is use to money of their calibur, what gift would you give to show you appreciate hard work in education.
