Check out the clip below for a brief peak at the music video for Dirty Money's "Hello Good Morning" featuring T.I. In the shot, you see (left to right) Swizz Beatz, Rico Love and Rick Ross with Diddy.
On Diddy's Twitter stream,
he asked DJ Chuckie when he would be done with a remix to Dirty Money's "Hello Good Morning." DJ Chuckie
replied saying to expect it this week. For more on DJ Chuckie,

Drew McWeeny of HitFix.com's Motion Captured has a great interview with Diddy, conducted from the set of "Get Him to the Greek."
Diddy discusses acting, improvisation, "Get Him to the Greek" and the support he received from Jonah Hill, among other things.
Asked what experiences prepared him for jumping into this level of improvisation, he said, "The first time I walked on the set with Jon Favreau for 'Made,' they just threw away the script. And improvisation and comedic timing is something that takes you a long time to really learn and then to master, you know? I have a long way to go, but I thank God for that experience because I wasn’t intimidated. I was a little bit freer to try things in rehearsal and to be here and to really try to play my role. Like if I’m not good, then the guy in front of me isn’t going to be good. I have to give my best in order to make sure that Jonah and Russell and any of the stars of the movie shine."
As a quick update to a
previous report,
Diddy mentioned on Twitter that shooting for Dirty Money's new music video to "Hello Good Morning" began yesterday. Today is day 2.
BMI.com's Malcolm Venable has an interview with Kalenna of Dirty Money, published earlier this month. She talks briefly about working with Diddy and on her background.
This is probably obvious by this point, but Diddy Beats were not released on April 14,
as had been announced. According to
Best Buy and the
Diddy Beats website, they are now set to ship in May.
On Twitter,
Diddy announced that he was "about to sign [his] first rapper from London."
"I can't tell you who it is," he continued. "But, I've wanted to sign an artist from the UK my whole life - LONDON STANDUP!"
Back in March,
Diddy revealed that he was looking for an artist from the United Kingdom to appear on the U.K. version of Dirty Money's "Hello Good Morning." However, it's unclear if this is that artist.
Billboard's Mariel Concepcion reports that, according to a source close to Diddy, he has agreed to manage both Rick Ross and Nicki Minaj, along with one of his own managers, James Cruz.
The article mentions that representatives at Interscope, Def Jam and Universal Motown - the main distributing labels of Diddy, Rick Ross and Nicki Minaj, respectively - all could not be reached for comment. Meanwhile, Cruz had no comment to
XXL.
Interestingly, the Concepcion notes that Ross made reference to a "big announcement" that he and Diddy would be making soon, during a radio on Power 105.1 earlier this week. She also mentions a "rumor" that Ross is "extensively contributing to the writing" on "Last Train to Paris."
At press time, nothing about this story had been mentioned on the Twitter profiles of Diddy, Minaj or Cruz. I've reached out to Diddy's publicist for comment.
