Diddy made a surprise appearance at the Fader Fort at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Music Festival in Austin, Texas last night.
After introducing Lil B, he performed a small set including verses from "O Let's Do It (Remix)," "Mo Money Mo Problems," "Victory" and "It's All About the Benjamins." Check out clips below of the introduction and "Mo Money Mo Problems." They hung Diddy out to dry a little bit with an instrumental of the record, but he rapped along for a piece of Mase's part of the song, before taking it home with his verse.
Do you want to see the full performance? You can watch a continually looping stream on the Fader Fort website. Definitely recommended. It gets a little messy at the end when Odd Future comes on, someone throws something and hits Tyler the Creator in the head and then they throw some things back at the crowd before engaging in some stage diving.

I was down at South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive for the past week and that is why there has been no new articles during this span. We'll resume coverage shortly, but I wanted to be sure to mention that on Monday, Bad Boy Blog celebrated five years online.
I'd like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who supports what we do here. I launched this site because it was the site I wanted as a Bad Boy fan and that is where our responsibility first lies - to fans. I have a responsibility to provide accurate, fair coverage and work hard, every day, to ensure that that standard is met.
Thank you to the people in and around Bad Boy, and it's artists and ventures, who understand this and the importance of it - the importance of that independence and our responsibility to cover all stories. Not just the positive ones.
Thank you for reading this and for visiting Bad Boy Blog.
