Diddy and Kate Upton are not dating – yes, the media got it all wrong – whowouldathunkit! The hip hop mogul and the hottest model of the moment did not swap spit and Cassie can breathe a sigh of relief that her position is secured. Both Diddy and Kate helped restore our faith that Twitter can be used by celebrities for good when they issued their denials via the social medium.
The reports of the Kate Upton Diddy dating rumors began courtesy of NY Daily News;
After the 20-year-old Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl said she was single on Valentine’s Day and had broken up with star Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander, she was spotted a little over a month later, on March 24, sucking face with Diddy, 43, at club LIV in Miami Beach.
“They were kissing, they weren’t hiding it,” an eyewitness tells Confidenti@l.
Earlier that night, Diddy, hosting a bash at the club, had tweeted: “Miami … Ain’t no party like a @iamdiddy party … Meet me at Club Liv 2nite #CIROCBOYZ in the building!!!”
The curvy Upton soon joined him in the VIP section and she and the hip-hop mogul stayed together, partying late into the night.
Following their hot hookup in South Beach, the duo met up again in New York, sharing an intimate dinner together at Gemma in the Bowery Hotel on Thursday.
“They were having dinner together,” a source tells us.
Upton, silent on Twitter that day, the next morning tweeted: “Cuddling with my favorite tiger :)” an obvious diss to Verlander, because she linked to a picture of her holding an actual tiger cub in a Bazaar magazine shoot.
Upton’s denial via Twitter: “Really??? Not at all true..“@TheCut: .@KateUpton and @IamDiddy seen sucking face and dining out!”
Diddy’s denial: “Attention all Media. I don’t even know Kate Upton personally! I’m not dating her ! What’s being reported is not true. END of story!”
