Don’t worry about spending too much on cab fare this New Year’s. Diddy has offered to take care of the tab for ya.

New York’s Daily News reports that the hip-hop mogul and Ciroc Vodka has linked with New York City’s Taxi and Limousine Commission to distribute thousands of rides, free of charge.

Starting tomorrow (12/31) at 11 p.m., $15 debit cards that can redeemed for single cab rides, will be handed out by Ciroc street teams in the Times Square and Chelsea neighborhoods in Manhattan. The cards will be handed out until the supplies last.

“New York is the world’s most iconic New Year’s Eve city, so let’s lead by example and show everyone that a sophisticated holiday celebration doesn’t just end when the ball drops, but when everyone gets home safely,” Puffy said.

As XXLmag.com reported yesterday, while fans are trying to snatch up some free cab rides in Times Square, they can also check out T.I. , Ludacris and Lil’ Wayne who will all be performing in the are as part of the New Year’s festivitives planned by NBC and CNN respectively. – Elan Mancini

    The Real reason he is handing out cab rides is because Spider Loc has instructed that if any Grape St Crips are left w/o a Ride while visiting New York MAJOR REPRECUSSIONS will ensue! I remember while visiting my Beverly Hills Hide Out Puffy comes in and says “So What” I thought he said “Soo Woo!” A bloods calling for war chant! I immediatly smacced the shit outta Slim from 112 who was with him and told puffy, “Fix me that Blu Kool Aid!” He ran into the kitchen and started stirring as fast as he could. He was so startled he spilled Suger all over the counter getting my Blue floor tiles dirty! I then took a Purple Crip Rag put it around my Necc and went to work on the Choppa from “Making the Band” I didn’t want to smacc Puffy becuase he was paying good extortion gwap of $16 per month! But for every mistake I’d smacc his hangers on! The song “We Ain’t Goin Nowhere” was in reference to the Bloods trying to lure his business away from the CRIPS! He was so protected he didn’t want to leave!!! I used to fucc the shit outta his dance instructer Ms. Lauren 3 times per week after my Crip Walk Lessons

    This might be one of the most gangsterist marketing moves anyone in hip hop has ever pulled off. Big ups to Diddy for continually reinventing himself and the way hip hop does business.

    great, if he could only be as generous with his artist royalties.

    this is nothing but getting self promotion and a tax-write off.
