Diddy



Sean "Diddy" Combs is backing up claims to support young entrepreneurs with a $100,000 donation to help fund startup businesses for urban youth across the country, reports Allhiphop.com.

The rap mogul was honored on Feb. 13 during the 2011 Annual Bryan-Michael Cox Pre-Grammy Brunch at the Four Seasons hotel in Beverly Hills, California. The annual event was organized by Cox, SESAC and 100 Urban Entrepreneurs, a non-profit organization dedicated to serving urban youth and developing future business leaders.

Diddy was so moved by the stories of the budding moguls in the 100 Urban Entrepreneurs program that he has personally committed $100,000 to the non-profit organization.

O, my, is Newark excited about Oprah Winfrey!

The talk-show queen has donated at least $1.5 million to help the city's kids get a better education and the less fortunate get better shelter and long-term addiction care.

"She's got a great heart," said Adrianne Davis, whose North Ward Center will use a $500,000 grant to offer scholarships and help its charter-school students apply to top-ranked high schools and colleges.

Is she an Oprah fan?

"Absolutely! Who's not a fan of Oprah?"

Winfrey is a fan of Newark Mayor Cory Booker, who has appeared on her show and is featured on her Web site. He released a statement expressing the city's appreciation for Winfrey's donations, calling her "a powerful agent of change in our nation" and "a phenomenal friend to Newark."
