Jamie Foxx Schooled Diddy On How To Throw A Party On A Budget
Glittering social gatherings and lavish parties are common occurrences among A-list celebrities in Hollywood and rapper Diddy is known for his extravagance in this regard. Jamie Foxx and Diddy are two celebrities who formed a close friendship while meeting at various parties that the rapper would organize on a staggering budget of $1.5 million. Making an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Amazing Spider-Man star recalled the bet he made with Diddy about organizing an equally happening party at a significantly lesser cost.
“He called and said ‘Yo, playboy I’m in town. Make it happen,’ so I said ‘cool,'” “I said ‘Puff, look over there on the dinner table, I got Kentucky Fried Chicken. I put it on a nice plate…I got Coca-Cola. I put it in a pitcher. We are at $208 and we are killin’ it right now,'”
While Diddy initially found it hard to believe that Jamie Foxx could pull off a party for over 200 people on a shoestring budget, the Marvel star proved that less is more when it comes to having fun.
