From
People:
At Paper nightclub in central London to celebrate his birthday and promote his new album, Press Play...
Dressed in a gray three-piece suit and dark sunglasses, Diddy presented a birthday surprise to the 200-plus crowd: A duet performance with Kayne West.
Watch it here. Pretty likely it's an unofficial leak since this video hasn't been promoted at all. It features cameos from Yung Joc and (I think - it's blurry) Block and Boyz N Da Hood. It features footage from the video for Warning by The Notorious B.I.G.

So says
Kim Thurman, the owner of the club where it was held.
Diddy, real name Sean Combs, ensured the bash was up to the highest standards by flying in six litre bottles of vintage Dom Perignon champagne, each at the cost of �1,500, from London and Milan.
