Recently, the new music video for Dirty Money's "I Hate That You Love Me" premiered on MTV Jams. The video, which finds Diddy seated at a piano and the group standing in front of white and red backgrounds, has not yet been released online.
Rick Ross recently celebrated his birthday with Diddy in tow, on stage to perform "Another One." Red Cafe was also in attendance. You can check out some footage below.
Diddy appears on the new "Diddy Remix" to "I Like That," the international dance hit from Static Revenger and Richard Vission, featuring British singer Luciana.
The original track, released back in 2009, saw a successful chart run in the United States, where it peaked at #1 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart. It also reached #11 on the Dance/Electronic Digital Songs chart, #11 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart and #36 on the Mainstream Top 40.
Our audio player features a new dance remix of Dirty Money's "Coming Home" featuring Skylar Grey, who the mix is largely powered by. It was produced by Australian-based DJ/producer Dirty South.

Dirty Money has previously collaborated with both Skepta and Stryder for remixes of "Hello Good Morning," including the "Grime Mix" and the "Team U.K. Remix."
Earlier this month, in an interview with Pulse Radio, house and electronic-focused music producer Guy Gerber revealed that he just finished a collaborative album with Diddy. He said that the album would be "more electronic music," as opposed to "deep house" or "clubby" music.
During a recent live chat on The Sun's website, Diddy was asked if he had any more grime music ventures planned. He answered that the group had just completed a collaboration with U.K. rapper and producer Wiley for "A** on the Floor" (in the chat, he referred to it as "Ar** on the Floor," a nod to the U.K. audience).
Within the half hour, DJ, artist and producer Clinton Sparks posted the track up for free download, revealing that he and DJ Snake had produced it. I like the record a lot - let me know what you think about it in the comments.
Outside of some solo footage of Red Cafe, the video is primarily compromised of performance clips that don't sync with the record. A portion of this footage features Diddy. Watch below.
According to reports by the AP and TV Guide's William Keck, Diddy will appear as a guest star on an episode of the CBS television show "Hawaii Five-0."
He will play Reggie Williams, an NYPD detective who travels to Honolulu, Hawaii in order to pursue men who were responsible for a crime against his family. But, in doing so, he enters the sights of the, well, five-0.
In addition, music performed by Diddy will be featured throughout the episode, which will air this spring.
Here are Bad Boy's positions on the most recent Billboard U.S. album and single charts, released today. Dirty Money's "Coming Home" is still going strong, gaining on most charts, including new highs on five different charts. Among those is the Hot 100, where it now rests at #13.

Joseph Patterson of MTV UK's The Wrap Up filed a story from the London listening party for Dirty Money's "Last Train to Paris" last Thursday. It's interesting to read, from this side of the pond, how much it means for Diddy to co-sign some of the U.K. hip hop artists. Diddy introduced Skepta, Chipmunk, Tinchy Stryder and Wretch 32 to the audience as Team U.K.
Last year, Skepta and Stryder both appeared on remixes to Dirty Money's "Hello Good Morning."
TechCrunch's Robin Wauters reports that Diddy was among a group of investors that participated in a $1.5 million dollar round of funding for Tinychat, the provider of "dead simple, free to use, video chat rooms that just work." Diddy's contribution is undisclosed, at this time.
On Tuesday, January 25 at (around - might be a bit before or after) 4 PM ET (GMT -5), I will be moving Bad Boy Blog to a new server. There will be some downtime associated with this. It's unclear how much, but hoping for as little as possible.
As part of their in store at London's HMV, Dirty Money chatted with SB.TV. It's a pretty light interview, with in store footage and (what looks like) club footage as bookends. The club footage features Diddy praising U.K. artists and bringing a few on stage with him.
Following their stop on Trevor Nelson's show, Dirty Money made an in store appearance at an HMV store in London, where Nelson introduced Diddy and asked him about the album and Diddybeats. The group also did an impromptu part performance of "Coming Home." Watch below.
Earlier this week, Diddy appeared on on Trevor Nelson's show on BBC Radio 1Xtra. In addition to a quick where they talked about Diddy returning to the United Kingdom, they also did in studio performances of "Hello Good Morning" and "Coming Home."
If you're in the U.K., you can watch a video of the performance for 6 days. But, even if you're not in the U.K., you can listen in the BBC Radio 1Xtra player. The interview starts at the 2:22:04 mark, the "Hello Good Morning" performance starts at 2:26:52 and the "Coming Home" performance begins at 2:34:37.
Nelson mentioned that "Coming Home" was Diddy's biggest record in the U.K. in 10 years.

This record, labeled "Tomorrow Tonight" has appeared online in a couple of different forms (one featuring more vocals from Ludacris than the other). There is no word about the track from Diddy, Dawn Richard, Kalenna or Ludacris on Twitter, but hopefully it'll make the uncut record, if that comes to fruition.
In an interview with kalenna.webs.com, shared on her Twitter profile, Kalenna of Dirty Money reflected on how Dirty Money's "Last Train to Paris" album has been received, what might happen to unreleased material, her upcoming solo project and more.
Being that You, Dawn, and Diddy have recorded so many songs for the album - Will we get a chance to hear any unreleased material?
We are not sure, it depends on what Puff wants to do with the rest of the material. You never know, there may be songs that when we go into the studio that we might want to finish or take to another level, or just use on our solo projects. I mean there are enough songs in the vault, so Puff won’t mind if we take one or two.
First and foremost, congrats to Mr. Gethard. As I mentioned in that previous story, I really admire the way he went at this whole idea - there was a sense of humility and good nature here that, unfortunately, we don't see enough. He earned this night and I hope it's a great one.
People made fun of me throughout the year, but I never gave up. To me, #diddygethard has gone from being a bit to being a phrase that means “never give up” and “be stubborn in the face of doubters” and “do what you do even if other people make fun of you for it”. I know that’s cheesy, but it’s true. The phrase #diddygethard has taken on this weird emotional meaning for me.
Here are Bad Boy's positions on the most recent Billboard U.S. album and single charts, released today. Dirty Money's "Last Train to Paris" loses some ground, but on The Billboard 200, it still remains above the #44 slot it had in it's second week.
Most notably, Dirty Money's "Coming Home" sees a nice overall gain, including new highs or debuts in three categories. i SQUARE's "Hey Sexy Lady" has now cracked the top 5 the Hot Dance Club Play chart, as well.

It's unclear where this came from, and it sounds like mixtape fodder, but Eminem has put a rap verse over Dirty Money's "Hello Good Morning," entering at the point where Diddy's rap was featured on the album cut. You can listen at XXLMag.com.
I am not exactly sure of how it features your tweets - if you are supposed to see them after signing in or if it features them randomly with everyone else who grants profile access to the application. Unfortunately, on my first try, I received a blank screen.
On Tuesday, HOT 97's Angie Martinez premiered the new remix to Dirty Money's "Someone to Love Me." Labeled the "MJB Naked Remix," the song features Blige stepping in for the chorus and a verse.

Get Futuristic has an interview with music producer Mark Holiday, who mentioned that he had produced some records for Dawn Richard.
G.F. – As you know we done exclusive interview with one of your colleagues – Dawn Richard from Diddy Dirty Money. She told us that you have few surprises for futuristic music fans. Can you tell us a little bit about it?
Trendsetter: – That’s right! We have a lot of surprises for you!! Dawn Richard is incredibly talented artist, I’m really lucky and honored to work with her. I think we suit each-outer very well creatively, musically. I’m having great time producing music for her, I’m already produced a lot of tracks for her personally and also we working together on songs for other artists, but that’s all I can tell for now! =)
When asked about plans for 2011, he mentioned "I'm going to produce more tracks for Dawn."
On Dawn Richard's site, you can listen to her remix of Dirty Money's "I Know," minus Diddy, Wiz Khalifa and Chris Brown. I am pretty sure Kalenna is on the track, though.
