Artist: Diddy

Ah, well. I got my hopes up so high for  Diddy 's starring role on  Downton Abbey  and it turned out that the whole thing was just a big dumb publicity stunt for the mogul's  Funny or Die   video, which was actually pretty funny, but not as funny as actually having Diddy on  Downton Abbey  would have been. But still, well played, Diddy. Well played. The sketch, coming off the heels of the announcement that  Downton Abbey  would have their first black cast member, sees Diddy joining as Lord Wolcott, the [...]

Sean 'Diddy' Combs turned heads yesterday when he revealed himself to be the newest cast member of Downton Abbey . An accomplished actor in his own right, having appeared in last season of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and opposite Russell Brand in the film Get Him to the Greek , the news was plausible enough to force a producer for the show to issue a statement denying he'd been cast. As it turns out, Diddy has teamed with Funny or Die for a hilarious new spoof which casts (or, superimposes) [...]

After teasing some "special news" earlier today, rapper and unintentionally hysterical person  Diddy  has announced via Twitter that he is joining the cast of the critically acclaimed ITV period drama  Downton Abbey.  Nothing about this makes sense and he was probably hacked, but if it is true, it is the greatest news in the history of entertainment. See his tweets below. MY BIG NEWS: So happy to announce that Im a series regular on DOWNTON ABBEY-my favorite show+i'll be debuting a sneak peek tonight 12am PST! [...]

Although you may only recognize Cassie from Diddy's Instagram and/or her various alt hair styles throughout the years, she's actually been keeping pretty busy as of late. She released her 'RockaByeBaby' mixtape last month, (which got a surprisingly good review from Pitchfork), and it's already sprung two singles, including "Numb" and "Paradise". And I guess it's safe to say that this remix via producer Austin Millz is only going to increase her momentum in the weeks that follow. posted by @clarkbs

P. Diddy went from Uptown Records as an intern to developing groups like Jodeci and singer, Mary J. Blige, to being one of the most highly paid moguls in hip hop. According to the Daily Mail, Diddy is estimated to have a fortune of $580 million and... [[ This is a content summary only. Click on the titles for full stories... ]]

HELL yes - new material from Baltimore's King Los , and it's pretty f*cking killer.  Los' anticipated release in his second term with Bad Boy has been expected for literarlly six months by now, and after multiple delays and stalling due to sample clearance and other industry hassles,  Becoming King  is actually slated for a Thursday release.  Stream / download this smooth-as-hell track below, prod by Dot and Pro, and featuring words from Diddy and Ludacris.

The Neptunes 2-Hour Mix Chad Hugo and Pharrell Williams were easily the most revered hip-hop production duo of the early’00s. With beat credits for Busta Rhymes, Clipse, Diddy, and Justin Timberlake, as well as an unforgettable album of their own (In Search Of),anyone who knows anything about hip hop can appreciate what they’ve done.

You can stream it here with part 2 to follow soon.

For any sub-category of notable humans with above-average amounts of wealth, Forbes has written a list ranking those notable humans in order of accumulated wealth. Their latest list focuses on the five top-earning hip-hop moguls of 2013 . Why only five? Well, so they can do a completely different list of the Top 10 hip-hop moguls later this year. Diddy (Forbes helpfully informs us he "rose to mainstream fame in the late 1990s rapping about his desire for Benjamins, otherwise known as $100 bills") is in the #1 [...]

Choosing the ten best songs by one of Brooklyn's most beloved children, the Notorious B.I.G., is essentially a fool's errand. The rapper, né Christopher Wallace, had too dynamic a scope, despite his catalogue being limited to his debut, Ready To Die , and its double-disc follow-up, Life After Death . At times he was Aesop, others Hitchcock, often Don Giovanni. While there are many in the canon who are adept storytellers or able to spin clever yarns about their money, women, and other ephemera, Biggie Smalls was able to finesse the English language in a way that hardly [...]

Rapper (and  Spring Breakers  star) Gucci Mane briefly changed his name to "Guwop" yesterday, before reneging thanks to an immediate Twitter backlash from fans. It's not the first time a rapper's changed monikers mid-career, or even the most dubious choice of nickname — though "Guwop" is certainly up there. Plenty of MCs don't seem particularly attached to their chosen stage names; in fact, some of them even switch it up multiple times. We've compiled a list of rap's most high-profile name changes and the reasoning behind them, from the perfectly reasonable to the totally bizarre. [...]

We get it, it's Friday. You don't want to challenge your brain. You want to sit back and be entertained while you pretend to do work. Well, we have just the thing for you, depending on how loosely you define the word "entertained." You may know that Diddy is the peddler of fine Ciroc vodka. Well, he is also the peddler of  AQUAhydrate water, along with Mark Wahlberg . Which is why the two appeared on  Ellen today (March 1). Even though what they're shilling is "fitness water," the drink still bears the same [...]
