P Diddy joins cast of 'Downton Abbey'… sort of

-

Twitter was sent into a confused stupor, or at least retweeting frenzy, late last night when P Diddy posted: “MY BIG NEWS: So happy to announce that Im a series regular on DOWNTON ABBEY-my favorite show”. Not entirely accurate, but the rapper has starred in a new Funny Or Die spoof of the British TV show.

With news that Downton, or “Downtown Abbey” as Diddy puts it, has cast its first ever black character, the hip-hop star points out that people must have missed the one that already existed: Sean Coombs himself. He then reveals a series of snippets in which he’s been superimposed into the show.
