MTV - DIDDY PIMPS HIS RIDE

Hip-hop mogul SEAN 'DIDDY' COMBS has blown $350,000 (GBP200,000) remodeling a $25,000 (GBP14,000) black van, so he can use it as a mobile office.

The BAD BOYS FOR LIFE hitmaker was struggling to juggle his ever expanding empire, and, inspired by MTV show PIMP MY RIDE, decided to customise his own luxury vehicle.

The Chevy Express 3500 now boasts six television screens, a handmade cream leather couch, a wine cellar, monogrammed wooden flooring and an audiophile-class sound system.

Customiser MATT FIGLIOLA says, "He's got all the amenities he could want - a full wet bar, a wonderful refrigerator, and the panelling, seating and upholstery is all custom.

"That particular van sets a new bar for us - and everybody else, frankly."
