Diddy drops ten large on local charity winner

Take my money, please!

It would be easy to say that Diddy showed up this morning to visit Chio from Wired 96.5 FM’s morning show, live from the Wachovia Center because the hype regarding his 2010 release Last Train to Paris is on and he’s set to ramp it up big time.

He hyped it. But he’s saving the big drama for the dance floor of mur.mur tonight. This morning though, Diddy was in town as part of Chio’s toy drive and Christmas Wish charity, the one the radio maven started in 1998 to help families with financial and physical needs during the holidays.

Well, here’s where Diddy won the good guy challenge. As Chio and the radio station were readying to give the recipient of the Chio charity — Sarah Costello — a check for $1,000, Diddy whipped out a pen, wrote on the check, and tacked on another $10,000. Then he posed with the two girls from Dirty Money — his co-contributors to his new Paris CD, and he was off. You win this round, Diddy.

Check out Icepack this Thursday for more un-Didd-ly sightings.
