P Diddy has confirmed he plans to take a back seat role in the world of hip hop - concentrating on his Bad Boy Entertainment empire rather than making new music himself.

Speaking to reporters last week about his upcoming album 'PD5' - due out in Autumn - Diddy said: "I think it's going to be my last solo album because it's been a dream come true for me to be a recording artist and I just think that as a solo artist I've said everything I wanted to say."

No word on whether Diddy will spend more time acting in the future - although he did comment on the experience of performing in the play 'A Raisin In The Sun' on Broadway recently: "It's a dream come true to see historically diverse audiences come to Broadway that wouldn't normally. Young people, three or four generations sitting together, every race, colour and creed and we're breaking box office records every week. It was something that people laughed at at first and now it's a success."
