Owner, CEO of Bad Boy Records who stayed in the producer's booth until Notorious B.I.G was killed, when he began to release records. He is usually lampooned for his lack of rapping talent, which he tries to make up for with funky danicng. This too, sadly fails.

Combs and girlfriend Jennifer Lopez were partying at a nightclub in New York just off Times Square, when shooting broke out. Combs and Lopez were in the back seat of a Lincoln Navigator registered to Combs' Bad Boy Entertainment when it was pulled over near Club New York on West 43rd Street shortly after 3 a.m. Police said the driver, Wardel Fenderson, 41, went through a red light before stopping.

Charged?
Alledgely, Police recovered a 9 mm handgun from the vehicle. Combs, Lopez, Fenderson and bodyguard Anthony Jones, 34, of the Bronx, were arrested after several hours of questioning at the Midtown South Precinct.

Charges against Lopez were quickly dismissed. But Combs, his driver and bodyguard faced arraignment on two potential felonies.

Alledgedly, Combs, Fenderson and Jones were charged with criminal possession of a weapon and possession of stolen property -- the handgun, which police believe was stolen. Jones also was charged with two drug offenses, possession of marijuana and of a controlled substance.

But neither Combs, Lopez nor the other two men faced charges in connection with the shooting. A fifth person, Jamal Barrow, 19, of Brooklyn, was arrested at the club and charged with criminal possession of a weapon.
