Diddy has made an apparent move into stand-up comedy after appearing at a comedy night in New York.

The rapper made a guest appearance during comedian Chris Gethard's performance at Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre last week.

The collaboration took place after the Comedy Central comic launched a year-long campaign on Twitter and YouTube for Diddy to join him on stage.

BBC News reports that the rapper presented Gethard with gifts as he prepares to launch a US tour.

Last year, Diddy joined British comedian Russell Brand in the Hollywood movie Get Him To The Greek.
