GREAT INVESTMENT!!
Dude's a master painter...he's Lebron with a paintbrush...
Once you're"ordained" by the arts, no matter which field...music, literature, fine arts...your works are
$$$$$$$$$
Yes that buy black and organize will never become a reality as long as we have blacks that make it seems as though the system works. I live in a small country town and some of the advancement that is going on I have yet to see. What I mean by that is the black lady that has the grocery store in California, the other black lady that owns the vegan restaurant, etc. I support things like this and would like to get to know people like this personally to put my 2 cents in. Bee Pollen and other bee hive products, our health helps us to escape our energy being controlled or having to borrow energy from unnatural sources.Of course he can spend his money any way he chooses, never said he couldn't. But consider this, Jews help other Jews, whites take care of other whites, Hispanics assist other Hispanics, Asians take care of Asians, but to way too many of us it's "let that man spend his money the way he wants". That my friend is the wrong mentality and a primary reason why we collectively progress much slower than we should and could.
Puff Daddy should spend his money the way he wants to even if he is not aware of what is really going on. I just be glad when our time comes and we have what is needed to make changes. Either the world changes you or you change the world. Our race is at the bottom right now and we are part of the ones that are not satisfied with the lies that we have to live by. We went from filling the jails because we wanted to be integrated into a white reality to filling the jails because of being integrated into a white reality.
Y'all actually thought those white men was going to let a black man who made his money off rap music into their fraternity?
These sports owners keep their circle tight. It's absolutely no surprise they picked a minority owner of a team buy the Panthers. Keep it in house.
Tell that to Dame Dash......
A good buddy of mines ( who's white) put me up on collecting old Comic Strips from Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, and Bob Kane....you would be surprised at how much that stuff goes for.
No he was looking for investors but I guess he didn't have enough people who wanted to invest together with him.
Terribly naive to always expect someone of extraordinary means to "help others" when they make extravagant purchases. And as someone else pointed out, Puff is using his wealth to create opportunities.
Just face it. You can't handle that Puff dropped 21 mil for a piece of art. In your mind, there is just no possible rationalization for him to do that.
Let me ask a question and please don't take this the wrong way...
Are you white?
you do realize its not as simple as writing a check to buy a sports team right?
then why dont you?
Exactly. Although I'm not a Puffy fan, I have to give him props for helping a Brother out.
I'm glad for the artist and props to him, but think what 21 million could do to relieve the plight of many black people living on the street through no fault of their own.
Think how many black kids could be college educated and get a leg up in life if Puffy chose to spend 21 million on that.
I'm hip to the investment aspect of it, but when you have puffy type money investment in people seems to me a better use
But he is helping the community out here in terms of increasing this Brother's reputation in a positive way, with the potential to get more people to invest in Black art by following his example.
He could also use that money to help a Brother out with bail - oh wait...
BTW, Suge lost.

Rapper Sean 'P Diddy' Combs has been unmasked as the buyer of a $21.1 million painting by Kerry James Marshall.
The hip-hop artist outbid well-known art collectors and museums for Past Times, which depicts a black family having a picnic in a park.
The record sale for a living black painter prompted speculation about who was able to snap it up at auction on Wednesday night.
Finally, Mr Marshall's dealer Jack Shainman revealed to the New York Times that Combs was the buyer, beating out three other collectors including Eli Broad.
'I know that this work has found a home in a collection with purpose and an eye toward preserving legacy - that of Sean Combs, and that means a lot,' he said.
Amy Cappellazzo, chairman of Sotheby's fine art division which auction the painting, said black American artists were finally being properly recognized.
It was the same year Mr Marshall won a MacArthur Foundation genius grant, and before that he taught at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
The 13-by-9-foot work of acrylic and collage on canvas work was offloaded because it became too valuable for the Authority to protect.
However, Mr Shainman said such huge success wouldn't change the way Mr Walker approached his craft, having just completed a painting of London Bridge for Tate Modern.
'The world is recognizing Kerry James Marshall for the master that he is... what Kerry is happiest doing is working in the studio,' he said.
Im calling BULLSHIT on this one!! These folks in the entertainment industry are doing nothing but selling false dreams!! It surprises me that people havent caught onto the deception yet!! Anyway puff or whatever his stage name is, is just playing a role!!
Good reply!!! Whats he waiting for??? Just go do it!
Kerry James Marshall (Black Man) got $25,000 for the painting from the MPEA (White folks).
MPEA (White folks) got 21 million from P Diddy (Black Man).
AT THE MOMENT, the MPEA is the only winner in this deal.
If your mission is to support Black aritst, work with Black artist DIRECTLY and cut out the White Men in the middle!

Ceritus Paribas...is all I'm going to say. Don't knock the hustle.
Do you mean, dont knock the deception??
damn
Not at all. It's deception or an investment it depends on one's lense.
So you saying Kerry didn't get the $21M?
See how we do each other? Ain't dude an artist too?
How am I doing to what dude? Explaining that the prices are artificially inflated. The value isn't real at all. And YES, I'm an artist and I know enough about the industry to tell the truth. Save your coins and support local artists.
Only until they blow up then fuck em, eh?
Nice deflection, white boy.
This man gets how a free market economy works
Dont have the gift of drawing.
Do you know if at some point he would get percentage of the sale from the mpea?
What did he say
Props to the artist because his work is great IMO,but I can't see spending 20 million on a painting when there are black people all over who are in dire need of help.
He coulda gave 42 family’s 500,000 and changed they lives forever

Nigga ain’t neva did shit for me
