"Have you ever been
To Saint-Tropez
Or seen a brother
Play a mandalay?"
--Diddy's 'I Need a Girl (Part Two)'
Nope, and neither has anyone else, Sean, because a "mandalay" isn't an instrument!!! You meant "mandolin." --Meghan, Orlando, Fla.

Considering Diddy's history with women, I think he's talkin about a man-duh-lay. And he be duh brothah.

And listening to P Diddy doesn't automatically make one an idiot...just a brainwashed pawn of popular culture. Now, should they try to claim he has some deep insight...I might question their intelligence, as well as what they're smoking, lol.
capitalization is not convenient. internets is for the quick.

rap SUCKS!!!
No he does NOT say "play AT mandalay". He clearly says "play A mandalay". Given that he just stated Saint Tropez, it's possible he might have been thinking of a "Mandola", which is an instrument similar to the mandolin, possibly found in France or something. He probably just added a "Y" at the end because it rhymes with Saint Tropez, which is pronounced "San tro Pay" or some say it like "sandro pe".
