Diddy/Dirty Money will make their U.K. debut with a performance on BBC's "Friday Night with Jonathan Ross," according to a
ticket giveaway promoted by
Diddy's Twitter. Check the
BBC website for listings.
For those of us in America, the show does air on
BBC America on Fridays at 10:20 PM ET. But, it's unclear when the episode with Diddy will be shown on the channel. If I hear anything, I'll have it here.
The LupE.N.D. and
Lupe Fiasco's official site have photos from the music video shoot for
"Tightrope (Wondamix)." No word on when it will be out.
A new song by Dirty Money has appeared online. The record, labeled "I Want Your Love," features some opening ad-libs from producer Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins. Essentially, it features 3 verses: one from Dawn Richard, one from Kalenna and then a rapped verse by Diddy, along with a chorus that (sounds like it) features all three singing. Sounds like a very solid record. Stay tuned for a legitimate link to listen to it.
The Diddybeats in-ear headphones (
watch my unboxing) have been out for a couple of weeks now, so I thought I'd put together a round up of reviews that have appeared online. If given, I've included the star or number rating that the review provided in parentheses next to the link.

Finally, here are a pair of video reviews: one by Mark of
SoldierKnowsBest and another by Sarnie of
NBucketTV (via
Current):
Contactmusic has the story of a prank that Diddy pulled on Jonah Hill one day while driving around Los Angeles. Apparently, Diddy convinced Hill that he was drinking vodka while driving and had a loaded gun in the car. "I'm, like, freaked out... I'm scared of Diddy," Hill says.
But, later, Diddy admitted that he was actually drinking water and there was no gun.
In an interview with New York Magazine,
"Get Him to the Greek" director Nick Stoller spoke about working with Diddy and teaching him about improv.
Tell me about Diddy. He was my favorite part in the movie; who knew he was so funny! (Besides for him, that is.)
When I was writing the script. I thought of him as that part [a hard-nosed, maniacal record exec]. And he came in to audition, and I really hoped he’d be good, and he was amazing — hilarious. He has a crazy energy that has been untapped for the most part. The guy doesn’t sleep, which is interesting. It took him a little while to get used to the idea of improv, but once we’d loosen him up, he’d be so funny. There’s a scene in the movie with Diddy and Pharrell, and Pharrell was kind of getting his bearings on set, and Diddy goes, “Oh, yeah, we do a lot of improv here.” And I was like, I can’t believe Sean Combs just said, “We do a lot of improv.” I've turned Sean Combs into a comedy nerd!
Lauren Carter of the Boston Herald has an interview with Janelle Monae.
“We have performance art, musicians, screenwriters, visual artists, you name it, and we’re very self-contained,” Monae said from her tour bus, which was in Atlanta when she called. “[Diddy] saw that and was very inspired by it and said, ‘I just want people to know about what you guys are doing.’ He’s been a man of his word, and this is a partnership. He’s a campaign champion. He endorses what the Wondaland Arts Society is doing.”
Birthplace Magazine reports that Diddy will be the next guest on
Peter Rosenberg's "Noisemakers." The intimate interview series has featured Q-Tip, ?uestlove, Talib Kweli, Bun B, Pete Rock, Raekwon and DJ Premier. During the interview, a live band plays a musical tribute to the interviewee.
It all takes place on June 15 at
92YTribeca. Unfortunately,
tickets are sold out.
Recently, Diddy was down in Miami to host the "Best of the Best" concert. He also jumped on stage to perform some songs,
including DJ Khaled's "All I Do is Win (Remix)."
The clip is almost 13 minutes long, but for the main Diddy-related and performance footage, you can stop at the 2:27 and start back up at 7:54. Diddy (backed by his sons) performs the "O Let's Do It" remix with Rick Ross and Gucci Mane.
