Michael J. Feeney of the New York Daily News found out. Keithroy Yearwood, now 18, is the name of the child who appears on the cover of the 4 times certified platinum album. See photos and video on the Daily News website.

Diddy made a surprise appearance at the Fader Fort at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Music Festival in Austin, Texas last night.

After introducing Lil B, he performed a small set including verses from "O Let's Do It (Remix)," "Mo Money Mo Problems," "Victory" and "It's All About the Benjamins." Check out clips below of the introduction and "Mo Money Mo Problems." They hung Diddy out to dry a little bit with an instrumental of the record, but he rapped along for a piece of Mase's part of the song, before taking it home with his verse.


Do you want to see the full performance? You can watch a continually looping stream on the Fader Fort website. Definitely recommended. It gets a little messy at the end when Odd Future comes on, someone throws something and hits Tyler the Creator in the head and then they throw some things back at the crowd before engaging in some stage diving.
