Diddy Surprises welcomes Busta Rhymes and Fabolous onstage F1 Weekend Set

Diddy is having friends on stage.

A private performance by Diddy at Major Food Group's "American Express Presents Carbone Beach" event on Friday (May 5) marked the beginning of the Miami F1 race weekend.

Diddy performed a series of hits in front of people including Venus Williams, Dak Prescott, and Luis Fonsi at the elite supper club pop-up, which included dishes that were particularly created by celebrity chef Mario Carbone and his Italian restaurant of the same name.

Soon after supper was finished, Diddy approached the stage and opened with "Bad Boys for Life" before performing the hits "I Need a Girl" and "Been Around the World" for the audience. The opening refrain of Fabolous' "Make Me Better" started playing over the speakers as he soon stated that he had several "friends" joining him for the evening. Before performing "Say Aah" alone, the Brooklyn rapper jumped on stage to switch verses with Diddy on the song.

During Diddy's performance, Fabolous wasn't the only unexpected visitor. Shortly after (together with Spliffstar), Busta Rhymes released his album. He ran through songs like "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See" and "Pass the Courvoisier" before capping it off with his quick-fire verse on "Look at Me Now."

Diddy is called 'Love' now

To finish his concert, Diddy sprang atop a table in the centre of the audience as the audience sang along to "Mo Money, Mo Problems." The rapper wanted to leave everyone with a good feeling, so he told them all that his new stage name was "Love."

“We in the Love era now,” he said, “and I want you all to be love, and show love, to everybody around you.”
