According to the New York Daily News, 'Sean Puff Daddy P. Diddy' Combs has found himself owing money to the City of New York. Diddy is just one of thousands of people being targeted, said to be owing a collective $1.9 billion in unpaid fines, taxes, permit fees and other monies.

The Daily News says New York is desperately trying to fill a $4.9 billion budgetary shortfall that just forced the city to cut funding to schools, day care centers and other services.

Diddy's offense? Postering his mug all over the big apple without authorization. The city says the music mogul's company Bad Boy Entertainment owes $996,000 in unpaid fines for illegal postering.

And he's not the only music celeb said to be in the red. Douglas Davis, better known to hip hop fans as Doug E. Fresh, has officials trying to reach him for $191,000 in alleged unpaid business taxes. Also on the list, according to the Daily News: Mickey Rourke's plastic surgeon, Remy Ma's defense lawyer, a pay phone company 'with reputed mob ties,' an insurance company busted in a fraud ring and the governments of Hungary, Bulgaria and Libya.

A spokesman for Bad Boy counters that Diddy's postering fine was already paid by a partner company three years ago and that faulty city book-keeping is to blame. Lawyers are currently reviewing the issue.

Doug E. Fresh, however, was reportedly unavailable for comment.

Finance Commissioner David Frankel sounds like he means business. He said, 'We are going to find these people. We're going to turn them upside down by their ankles and we're going to shake them until the money comes out of their pockets.'
