Diddy Almost Fights ‘Power’ Actor While Dressed As The Joker For Halloween
Diddy “highjacked” Halloween by morphing into the Joker this year, but his shenanigans almost landed him in a fight with Power actor Michael J. Ferguson.
In various clips that have surfaced online, the Bad Boy boss can be seen terrorizing the streets of Los Angeles in full Health Ledger-inspired get-up on Saturday night (October 29).
Looking unrecognizable in a purple coat, green hair and white-and-red clown makeup, Puff brandished a fake submachine gun – and even fake grenades — while channeling the supervillain’s deranged personality.
But Diddy’s theatrics didn’t sit too kindly with Ferguson, who got into a tense exchange with the Harlem mogul in the middle of a street.

A viral video of their confrontation showed Ferguson, who plays Francis “2-Bit” Johnson in 50 Cent’s Power universe, squaring up to a costume-clad Puff and calling him “pussy” in front of a crowd of people.
Diddy, still in Joker mode, took a few steps back and let out a hysterical laugh before replying: “You’re a clown!” However, Puff soon dropped out of character and ramped up the tough talk.
“What’s up, baby? You don’t like me?” he barked. “Then muthafucking get to it, n-gga. If you don’t like me, you muthafucking fronting. Get to it, bitch. Don’t fucking play with me on Halloween. I’m out here with love, n-gga.”
Things became even more heated when Ferguson asked: “What up?” with a smirk, to which Diddy replied: “It’s what up then, n-gga! Come on here and I’ll bust yo shit! You fucking pussy, make sure you won’t never talk to me like that, n-gga. I’m love, n-gga!”
Puff continued: “Yo, we’re having a good time. Why you wanna come at me like that, god? You got a problem? You really taking over my energy right now? What did I do to you? Do you know who I am?”
Diddy diffused the situation by revealing his true identity to Ferguson, who was seemingly unaware of who he was bickering with. “It’s Puff. Come here, give me a hug,” he said as they dapped each other up.
Tension lingered in the air, however, as Diddy told Ferguson: “You’re lucky ’cause I’m really about that,” to which the actor replied: “I’m with it, too,” before whispering something in the executive’s ear.
Sliding back into character, Diddy let out a Joker-esque laugh and hugged Ferguson. “Come to the afterparty and change your vibration,” he told the actor.

Michael J. Ferguson wasn’t the only celebrity Diddy bumped into while dressed as the Joker. He also ran into Tyler, The Creator in traffic and pretended to hijack his vehicle in true supervillain fashion.
Unlike Ferguson, though, Tyler enjoyed the show. “This is top tier,” he commented while grinning from ear to ear.

Diddy’s Halloween histrionics won over many more critics online, including Big Sean, Yung Miami, Ty Dolla $ign, Jermaine Dupri and Juelz Santana. Some even called for Puff to play the Joker in an upcoming movie.
“You missed the acting calling.. so good!! @diddy as the next Joker ASAP [fire emojis],” one fan commented on his Instagram, while another wrote: “They should offer you the role of The Joker. Very well executed. @Diddy.”
Despite his show-stealing performance, Diddy might have more in common with the Joker’s archenemy, Bruce Wayne, having recently been declared a billionaire.
The No Way Out hitmaker’s net worth finally surpassed the nine-figure mark thanks to his longtime investments in Cîroc, DeLeón tequila and REVOLT, as well as his music catalog.
He is just the third Hip Hop figure to become a billionaire after JAY-Z ($1.5 billion) and Kanye West, whose $1.9 billion fortune has plummeted due to his lucrative adidas partnership being terminated over anti-Semitic comments.
