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.
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.
