P.Diddy was mistaken for Kanye West this week, but took the incident in stride. While at the Art Basel in Miami this year, which shows work from artists all across the globe, art dealer and collector Jeffrey Deitch walked into the 44-year-old and said, “Hi Kanye…” before immediately realizing his error.
The New York Post’s Page Six reports that everyone who heard was mortified, but P. Diddy laughed out loud and took it quite well.
Deitch explained the situation via e-mail “There was a big crowd gathered at the entrance to an art fair booth. I asked the dealer what the commotion was about and she said, ‘Kanye is here.’ I could only see the person from the back, and went over to say ‘Hi Kanye’. To my great embarrassment, it turned out to be P Diddy. He thought it was very funny, especially since we had spent several hours together visiting my street art show in Los Angeles.”
While it was not West that Deitch bumped into, West was at the Art Basel as well, with fiancé Kim Kardashian. They went to a display located on Miami Beach on Wednesday, and complimented each other as Kanye wore all black attire and Kardashian donned a lacy white gown. Kardashian also brought along her daughter North, and shared a photo of her alongside famed artist Jeff Koons.
