Prince Throws Shade At Diddy In LA/Nicki Minaj Goes Floral With "Pink Collection" For Valentine's Day / The Game & Swizz Beatz on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

Rumor has it that Prince threw a little shade at Diddy during an Essence Music Event in LA. Get deets on the shade plus check out Nicki Minaj's 1800-Flowers hustle for Valentine's Day and watch The Game and Swizz Beatz perform on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

Rumor has it that Prince wasn't overtly friendly toward Diddy at an Essence Music event honoring Janelle Monae, whom was an opening act for one of Prince's recent "Welcome 2 America"shows at Madison Square Garden.

According to a source at the party, Prince and Diddy were seated at adjacent booths at the Playhouse Hollywood nightclub. And get this...Diddy, who co-hosted the event, had the larger booth.

Not to be outdone, Prince had his custom decorated his VIP booth with a velvet rope and four security guards. He was joined by his date American Ballet Theater dancer Misty Copeland.

During the party, Diddy approached Prince, and with the velvet rope between them, he gave Prince a handshake and a hug.

The insider told the NY Daily News,

"You could see that Diddy wanted to hang out, but Prince was very cold. He didn't have his security take down the velvet rope."

One music-industry insider, said that Diddy

"isn't Prince's kind of guy. He's a lot of flash and dash, and very bragadocious. Prince, believe it or not, is real down to earth. He isn't about all that flossing."

I'm not sure I can see Prince being down to earth, but I can surely see Diddy's ego being bruised that Prince didn't sweat him.
