Rap Radar reports that, on Saturday, Diddy threw out the first pitch at the Florida Marlins game in Miami. After the game, he performed a medley of hits with Dirty Money, including "Victory," "Mo Money Mo Problems," "Been Around the World," "O Let's Do It (Remix)," "Last Night" and "I Need a Girl (Part Two)." Interesting that "Been Around the World" was in the set list. I haven't seen him do that one in a while. I really need to get to a Diddy show when he goes back on tour.

At any rate, check out some crowd footage below.

Diddy appeared on "Lopez Tonight" last night to announce that Dirty Money's "Hello Good Morning" had gone gold. He also performed a quick verse from "It's All About the Benjamins." check out the full clip below.

On tonight's episode of "Lopez Tonight," hosted by George Lopez, Diddy stopped by to announce that Dirty Money's "Hello Good Morning" has gone gold and that, accordingly, they would have a "gold party" on "Lopez Tonight" next week when Dirty Money is scheduled to appear and perform.

Gold indicates that 500,000 copies have been sold. The single has not yet been certified as gold by the RIAA, according to their searchable database, but that doesn't mean that it hasn't sold 500,000 units. The database is not always up to date, either.

When he announced this, the crowd booed and Diddy asked for a mic and performed his opening verse on "It's All About the Benjamins."

Usher was featured on VH1's "Behind the Music" last night and the show briefly touched on his time with Diddy. The full episode can be found below. Start at about the 10:30 clip for the portion concerning Diddy.


What I find interesting is that time is generally referred to as negative. Yet, it doesn't seem like that is fair. L.A. Reid admits that he was close to dropping Usher, before sending him to spend time with Diddy. While Usher says that the album content was too adult for someone of his age at the time, he then says that when his mom took the management role in his career, he remembers performing at strip clubs.

And there's no doubt that Usher's music is largely driven by love, sex and relationship-based themes. So, I don't think it would be crazy to say that his time with Diddy helped to, in some way, lay the foundation for his artistry.

This morning, Diddy shared a link on Twitter to another UK-flavored remix of Dirty Money's "Hello Good Morning" featuring Hitchcock and Tinchy Stryder. It appears to be an unofficial remix. Listen below.

According to the official website, Dirty Money will be performing on the Teen Choice Awards, airing on FOX on August 9 at 8 PM ET.

At the end of June, it was announced that Diddy, Dirty Money, Janelle Monae and Sean John had all received nominations.

Last night, Diddy was interviewed by Touré on Fuse's "On the Record." You may have already seen it. But, if you're like me and you have recorded it to watch later, here are some quotes from the episode, care of Fuse:

On The Notorious B.I.G.'s last day alive:

"He was supposed to go to London but he was like, 'Yo I've never asked for anything, can we just all hang out together tonight and celebrate the album? I'll go to London the next day'" He was on me and I was like, 'No no no no no.' Then finally I gave in, so he was like, 'Whatever we do, we going to go into this club, and you ain't going to leave my side tonight. None of that running.' I was known for just running around the club and he was known for posting up with his crew. He liked dark liquor and smoking weed, I like champagne and just hanging out, meeting girls. He was like, 'You're gonna hang out with me tonight.' That's why there aren't really a lot of pictures of me and Big before that, hanging out at places, because I was always so spastic, just running around the club. That was really the only night we did that, per his request."

On finding out his father was murdered and was one of Harlem's leading drug dealers:
