Diddy Appreciates the Arts
12:00 pm Friday Mar 5, 2010 by Lee Frank

Yesterday, Diddy — who was in Paris for his Last Train To Paris launch party — posted a picture of himself in front of the Mona Lisa on Twitter. Other highlights from his trip included a trip to Notre Dame (“AT NOTRE DAME! WALKING AROUND THE STREETS OF PARIS WITH THE BADBOY FAMILY!!! J’ADORE PARIS!!”) and the Eiffel Tower (“At the Eiffel Tower drinking Ciroc straight no chaser!!!”). As we’ve never been big fans of La Joconde’s cryptic smile, we thought that the Diddy-fication of da Vinci’s famous work was a vast improvement. In fact, it made us wonder how Diddy could improve other works of art around the world.


American Gothic, 1930. Grant Wood and Diddy.


The Thinker, 1880. Auguste Rodin and Diddy.


Balloon Dog (Pink), 1994–2000. Jeff Koons and Diddy.


Gabrielle d’Estrées et une de ses soeurs, 1594. Diddy would like to out himself as the unidentified painter.


Starry Night, 1889. Vincent Van Gogh and Diddy.

Light Painting, 1949. Picasso and Diddy.

Marilyn, 1962. Andy Warhol and Diddy.
