In a third clip of the jaw-dropping costume, Diddy can be seen chatting to rapper Tyler The Creator, who also looked totally blown away by the costume.

"Tyler The Creator you are my favourite rapper," says Diddy, as he heads over to his truck which he appeared to stop in the middle of the road.

"This is top tier," says Tyler, before Diddy demands he get out of the car, even trying his door handles at one point. Laughing, Tyler drives off but Diddy stays in character the entire time.

"We need @diddy in more movies!!" said one fan.

"They need to cast Diddy as the next Joker!!!!!" added another.

This week, we told you how Diddy has become hip-hop's second wealthiest artist, following Kanye West's string of recent controversies.

According to a new report by Forbes' Zack O’Malley Greenburg, the five richest hip-hop acts have had a reshuffle.

While Jay-Z nabs the top spot as the richest artist in hip-hop - with an estimated net worth of $1.5 billion (£1.3 billion) - Diddy is in at number two, with a net worth of $1 billion (£861 million).

The artist's wealth partly comes from a number of investments and assets, including his Cîroc partnership with Diageo, which reportedly earns him $60 million (£51 million) each year.

West is relegated to third following a huge drop in his net worth in the last couple of weeks. Earlier this year, the rapper, 45, was reported to have a net worth of $2 billion (£1.7 billion).

However, following a string of antisemitic comments made on social media, many brands have cut ties with the rapper - including Adidas, a deal which is said to have accounted for $1.5 billion of his net worth.
