(Cover) - EN Showbiz - P.Diddy is set to earn $75,000 for choosing a New Jersey nightclub as his after-party venue.

Last week it was reported the rap mogul had been considering several New York nightspots which could potentially host the after-party for his Diddy - Dirty Money tour dates in the city.

The hip-hop star and bandmates Dawn Richard and Kalenna Harper will be playing venues in the Big Apple including the Hammerstein Ballroom on April 22, and it has now been reported Diddy will take his after-party to New Jersey as the New York clubs werent interested in paying large sums to host the bash.

Sources have told the New York Post that the rapper has now signed with Club 4 Sixty 6 in West Orange, New Jersey, as the venue is prepared to pay him $75,000 and provide the star with a private helicopter ride across the Hudson River.

The publication claims the deal was made with promoter Vegas Style Entertainment, and will also see Diddy having the use of a new Bentley Continental GT to ride around New Jersey in.

It had previously been claimed Diddy had been asking New York venues for sums of around $45,000 for the privilege of hosting the party.

"After the cost was revealed, we were not in the running," one unnamed venue told the publication. "We were running away."

Representatives for the rapper have not commented on the subject. (C) Cover Media
