P. Diddy has announced that he has been invited to be the fifth Arctic Monkey after striking up a close friendship with the band.

The rapper met up with the British group whilst they had been recording their new album in New York and has declared that after bonding so well, he has been invited to join the band.

Diddy posted on his Twitter page: "Just kickin' it wit my boy Matt from the Arctic Monkeys! I'm the newest member of the group! I'm signing him to Bad Boy!"

Aside from the Monkeys, it seems the Bad Boy For Life singer who has already collaborated with the likes of Christina Aguilera and Pharrell Williams could have also lined up another unlikely partnership in the form of Simian Mobile Disco.

The musical master revealed on Twitter: “Also with James from Simian Mobile Disco! I just did a new track with them! It's crazy!"

We don’t know about you, but we can’t wait to hear Diddy’s new ‘Indie’ influenced sound!
