Diddy says new album may not be his last

By: Yves Erwin Salomon

Hip hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs will drop his new album Press Play next Tuesday, October 17th. The mogul had billed the project as his last, but lately he's been backtracking. Diddy told MTV.com, "To be honest, I would love for it to be the last one. My first couple of albums talked about drama, death, tragedy, controversy -- ups and downs. This album is about love. I would love to end it on a note of love. I don't want to overstay my welcome. I ain't never been a cat to overdo it; I don't want to overdo it now. I feel like I'm at my best on this album. It makes people feel good when they hear it."

Diddy also shared his thoughts on recording with Cee-Lo and Nas. He said, "Working with Cee-Lo from Gnarls Barkley and Nas, it's like working with the people I've always worked with. They were both on my Forever album; they've both been longtime friends of mine. Us together on a Kanye track, it's uplifting, inspirational, something you need to hear. It's a beast. The song is talking about passion. 'Everything I Love': It's the passion for who you are and what you represent. There ain't never gonna be another Diddy, never gonna be another Nas. Right now, we all feel like we on the top of our game. What's kept us in the game so long has been the love."

The next single and video from the project is "Tell Me" featuring Christina Aguilera.

Press Play also features guest appearances by Jamie Foxx, Mary J. Blige, Fergie, Brandy, and OutKast's Big Boi.

In related news, Diddy has partnered with Burger King to launch his own channel, Diddy TV, on Youtube. Diddy said in a released statement, "I'm having it my way on this album, and it's been a great journey for me, so I'm grateful for partners like Burger King Corporation that are helping me bring a fresh sound to my fans. They share my passion for being tastemakers and giving the people what they want."

Burger King will also sponsor the mogul's fall tour.
