Diddy’s Sorry Your Vodka Can’t Be As Great As Ciroc

Ciroc Vodka spokesman Diddy has issued a formal apology for calling his competitors’ products “pee pee.”

Speaking from his bubble bath, the Bad Boy mogul released a video apology to the public.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I come to you today as a man,” Diddy says. “I feel like only a true man steps up to the plate. And people may not agree with his position and that man says, ‘I’m sorry.’ I’m sorry to all I may have offended. We’re sorry for being the best… I am sorry that I came out with these flavors that taste so good — I am sorry that the competition sales are down and we’re up, there’s nothing I could do about that, nothing I can do about the way your vodka tastes. I am sorry that I am coming to you live from a bubble bath. I’m sorry. I’m not really sorry, this tastes good. Ciroc Vodka.”
