Diddy is blasting rumors that he is having a secret fling with actress Cameron Diaz.

The New York Daily News reports:

Back in March, they had dinner in L.A., and, for some reason, felt it necessary to leave separately through the restaurant’s kitchen. Last month, they were looking very affectionate in SoHo’s Sub-Mercer lounge. According to witnesses, the pair disappeared into a private room for about 20 minutes while a guard stood outside the door.

The pair were also spotted getting particularly cozy during a launch party for Prince’s September book release 21 Nights in New York City on Friday.

“It is ridiculous that two celebrities of the opposite sex can’t just hang out with a group of friends without it being reported as more than that. We are just friends,” the hip hop mogul said in a statement released on Monday.
