While Combs publicly made statements criticizing both candidates - Democrat John Kerry for neglecting to spend time in inner cities, and President Bush for neglecting the youth of America by not appearing on BET or MTV - Peter Flaherty, president of the Center, cited "Vote or Die" rallies in which Leonardo DiCaprio pushed Kerry as the best candidate for office.
"We feel these are clear-cut violations," Flaherty told the AP.
The Center alleges that Diddy and his organization Citizen Change, took on the campaign to elect Kerry and get Bush out of office. Diddy, however, mentioned repeatedly during his campaign that he would not endorse either candidate, and that his goal was just to register new voters.
Executive director of Citizen Change, Alexis McGill, told the AP that the group is proud of its accomplishments.
