Diddy: 'SiCo Needs To Step Up To Get Me On X Factor'

The X Factor USA.

The hip-hop mogul was quizzed on whether he might be filling one of the chairs vacated by LA Reid and Britney Spears on the transatlantic version of the reality TV show.

And according to The Sun, he replied: "Simon's pockets are kind of tight, and I have these six kids to feed, so he needs to step up."

Ne-Yo has recently confirmed that he is in talks to join the show - and it was also claimed last week that SiCo has offered Katy Perry and John Mayer jobs on the panel.

Diddy was left with "multiple injuries" following a car crash last year.
