(Newser) – He’s already king of rap and has his own fashion line, record label, movie production company, and restaurant—but that’s not enough for Diddy: He wants to be the black version of James Bond, reports the New York Post. Sean Combs tells Britain’s Observer that in the next 007 flick, he should play the British icon’s “counterpart in the United States.”

“I think that James Bond from London should be sent on a mission to come to New York and he should meet me, black Bond,” Diddy said. “He should get kidnapped, and I should have to save his ass.”

There's something seriously wrong with you Corona_king... You're are truly narcissistic, with an unhealthy view / perspective on life. The more you speak, the more obviously it becomes - You're not a person of normal mental attributes, in heart, mind and soul…

It would be ridiculous! Ian Fleming's character is British, a white guy from that cultural background, the "hot-potato-in-the-mouth" stereotype. I would not be able to identify with the character.

bond diddy????....hell no...Will Smith....OH YEAH!!!!....I do recognize the plot could be cool, but The world associates "James Bond" as suave, cultured and refined....Sean Combs, on the other hand ...no acting ability, arrogant and pompous, and known for being a rascist himself.....I would not pay to se anything HE is in, unless it was to lampoon him.......in the immortal words of Will..."getting jiggy wit it...nah nah nahnah nah nah nah nahhhhhh...lol...riff
