The Jiggaman recently made an appearance on OWN’s “Oprah’s Master Class: Special Edition” where Hip Hop’s (second) wealthiest father made the not so surprising admission that his newborn daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, will be the “worst, spoiled little kid ever.”

 “I imagine I’ll take things I learned from my mom and things I’ve learned from raising my nephews and apply that,” before he joked, “…at the end of the day, I just know I’ll probably have the worst, spoiled little kid ever.”

The Rocnation CEO even went as far as to touch on Blue Ivy’s future teenage ways:

“Everyone imagines they’ll be a great dad until their [kids are] teenagers,”” he explained. “”[They say], ‘Get away from me, Dad. You’re embarrassing me.’”

(Sigh)…(grabs the shotgun in anticipation of my future little girl turning 16). I wish one of you snot slinging punks WOULD try and date my (future) little princess.

Male athletes, celebrities, and rappers always get a sick feeling whenever their baby mothers start running their mouths to tabloids or interviews because they never know what they’ll say. Case in point,Josie Harris and Shaniqua Tompkins, the respective baby mothers of Floyd “Money” Mayweather and his BFF 50 Cent. (Read  More).

Future NBA Hall of Famer Reggie Miller isn’t too fond of Miami Heat superstar Lebron James’ solicitation of his fellow Hall of Famers.

Reggie recently spoke on James’ behavior last summer where the “ringless one” reached out to current NBA Hall of Famers, Hakeem Olujawon, Magic Johnson, and Isiah Thomas to find out what it would take for him to one day be inducted into the NBA’s most prestigious hall, its Hall of Fame.

Lakers guard Kobe Bryant offered up a bit of profound advice to Clippers high flyer Blake Griffin in regards to Griffin’s recent complaints about players excessively fouling him.

“I’d smack the f*ck out of somebody,” Kobe said yesterday. “I’ve known him for awhile and he’s a really nice guy so I don’t know if he’d want to do that. But, I would. I’ve done it early in the year…I saw Shaq crack somebody his first year. I did it my first few years. Sometimes people feel like they can take advantage of you, they hit you and this, that, and the other. Sometimes you have to say, ‘Look, you’re not going to do this to me. I’ll take two games but you’re not going to put my health at risk by injuring me potentially. It’s not going to happen.’”- Source

Well said my man, well said.

And according to the good folks over at Forbes, the Bad Boy mogul is STILL the wealthiest man in Hip Hop. (Uhh duhh!) The boy Diddy is BALLIN!

Out of the top five wealthiest moguls in Hip Hop, Diddy, who is joined on the list by Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Birdman, and Jay-Z, boasts a net worth estimated at a staggering $550 million. (Yeah bitch…take that, take  that.) Or better yet, give me, give me. ( No , seriously though, a brotha got bills to pay, and $550 million would sure as hell go a long way to help me pay em).

Get a breakdown of the Diddster’s money making assets below:

Diddy is the closest to becoming a billionaire, leading the pack with a net worth of $550 million. The Bad Boy Records founder has remained a mainstream mainstay for 15 years thanks to his knack for self-promotion. Lately, he’s been channeling that energy toward Diageo-backed Ciroc vodka, much to the benefit of his bank account: he receives double-digit millions annually as a share of profits. Sales of the spirit spiked 122% last year in the wake of strong demand for new flavor Ciroc Peach; he is entitled to a nine-figure chunk of cash if the brand is ever sold.

Diddy also boasts stakes in clothing lines Sean John and Enyce, marketing firm Blue Flame, record label Bad Boy and a handful of tech startups. But it’s his deal with Comcast to launch cable channel Revolt in 2013 that could push him into billionaire territory. He’ll own the channel outright, and based on projected viewership totals, its value could soar into the low-to-mid nine figures within the next few years.

The closest mogul to Puff is the Jiggaman who boasts an estimated net worth somewhere around $460 million. Which is nothing to sneeze at, but $550 million sure sounds a heck of a lot cooler. I’m sure Puff would agree.

Get more deets on the rest of the wealthy Hip Hop koguls when you head on over to Forbes.

(But seriously though, Puff, let a brother hold something.) Please.
