NEW YORK (Billboard) - Sean "P. Diddy" Combs has partnered with Lincoln to design a Limited Edition Sean John Navigator. He was seen showcasing the $85,000 luxury ride at last week's MTV Movie Awards and his private after-party. Restricted to a production run of just 100, the vehicle will be available beginning July 1.
The special edition SUV will boast such standard features as exclusive Sean John wheels, a platinum coated logo emblem, custom tinted windows, and black chrome detailing.
Inside will be a Pioneer Premier Audio system with satellite radio, three DVD players and six TV monitors, a Playstation 2 (news - web sites), logo-embossed leather seats, heated/vibrating driver and front passenger seats, suede covered center consoles, and black wood interior.
Combs launched the Sean John fashion line in 1998 with a signature sportswear collection. The line is produced four times a year and targets males aged 12-40. "We are not in the clothing business for a quick hit," the artist says of his company on its Web site (<http://www.seanjohn.com>). "We would ultimately like to have Sean John viewed as the future of fashion"
P. Diddy will relaunch his Bad Boy Records label with the July 15 soundtrack to "Bad Boys II." He teams up with Nelly and Murphy Lee of the St. Lunatics on the tracks "Shake Ya Tail Feather" and "Take It Low," and joins Lenny Kravitz (news) and Neptunes member Pharrell on "Show Me Your Soul."
