Diddy was on a German TV show to promote "Press Play" and it was a nice little segment. It's always interesting to see how people in other countries perceive music differently from us in the U.S. You can
see a couple of
clips on YouTube. On the second one, the guy asks Diddy to say some lyrics over him playing the guitar. Diddy drops a slowed down version of his verse on "It's All About the Benjamins".

From
People:
Guests including rapper LL Cool J and socialite Denise Rich feasted on shrimp, pink cocktails, specially made pink M&Ms; and Perrier Jouet champagne in pink floral bottles.
There were also gifts galore � a pink and white Ga Ga Designs chandelier from Denzel Washington, a custom-made changing table from Jay-Z and two cream-colored cribs from LL Cool J.
lol. Jay-Z coming through with the changing table...
From the
Starpulse News Blog:
"I wet my pants, I think. I had never even talked to him... but I tried to play it off cool." The Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger on the shock of being asked to duet with rap mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs on new hit �Come To Me.�
From
contactmusic.com:
Shocked Diddy paused and then replied, "I'm not ready to get married." The keen teen responded quickly, "You will be in one year and 22 days - I'll be 18." Irene had the studio audience whooping when she said, "She's nothing like me," when her hero tried to explain he already has a girlfriend - pregnant KIM PORTER.
There is an article on Diddy in
The Sunday Times Magazine.
Yet, for all the success, he has been stalked by trouble. He was born in Harlem, where he grew up until his mother was able to move the family � he has a younger sister, Keisha � out to Mount Vernon in upstate New York when he was 12. When he was three, his father, Melvin, was shot dead after a party. He was rumoured to be a drug dealer, and all the cuttings say he was a Muslim. Diddy denies the latter with a certain cold vehemence.
�No,� he says emphatically, �he wasn�t Muslim.�
P Diddy was very definitely brought up as a Christian.
�I was brought up spiritually. I was an altar boy in a Catholic church, and then also had afternoons at a Baptist church � I got the best of both worlds. I was in church every Sunday, all day. I give all glory to God. It�s because of Him that all that I do is possible. He�s my secret weapon. I have not even a doubt about him; it�s way beyond belief.�
Termanology has released what seems to be a bit of a Diddy tribute song with Termanology saying "What's up, rap world? I figured I'd take this opportunity to look outside of myself and say, what would I say if I was Diddy?" He then raps:
9-1, Heavy D
9-2, Mary J.
No more Uptown
Bad Boy on the way
9-3, 9-4, B.I.G.'s in the door
9-5, makin' hits, Junior M.A.F.I.A. clique
Craig Mack, Flava in Ya Ear, don't stop there
Lil' Kim, posin' in the panties in the brassiere
Sing Biggie, Biggie, gimme one more chance
Biggie, Biggie, gimme one more chance, oh, man
Fly chicks, rollin' in fly whips
9-6, Bad Boy invented the remix
These hits got the whole world lovin' my clique
They lovin' the sound
The whole world hittin' my hip
9-7, Big passed and he went up to heaven
Only on his second album, he already a legend
Man, I wish Big coulda seen the world in 0-7
Matter of fact, sometimes I wish I just died with him
I miss him
At the start of the track, Kanye raps "They claim Puff dead, I'm out the tomb then..."
It's a neat track.

TMZ.com has a clip. Diddy arrives at on Tyra via helicopter, walking from the roof to the set with stops with fans as well as 3 servants (one with a mic, one with water, one with cologne). Good show.
