Jay-Z and Diddy have reportedly reacted to the controversial OK! Magazine Michael Jackson cover which features the late singer being rushed to the hospital.
While Jay’s camp has yet to confirm, a rep for Diddy claimed the magazine’s decision has had an effect on their advertising relationship.
Our well-placed source says some staffers objected to owner Richard Desmond’s decision to put the ghoulish picture on this week’s cover — and it looks like advertisers and readers may agree. The source told us, “Media buyers have canceled upcoming meetings to discuss rates. It’s a disgrace. They’ve sunk to a new low.” In addition, Sean Combs and Jay-Z are said to be so furious, “they’re organizing a boycott,” according to our source. A rep for OK! said, “This is untrue. No one at OK! has been contacted about any such cancellations as a result of the magazine’s coverage of this news event. Any pages booked by the advertising team are running as scheduled.” Combs’ rep echoed, “Not true.” Jay-Z’s rep didn’t return calls. (New York Post)
