Diddy to Play Cop on Hawaii Five-0

CBS’s new hit “Hawaii Five-0″ seems to be taking a liking to rappers.

According to Yahoo! News, Diddy will appear on an upcoming episode of the crime/drama show, playing and NYPD Detective who heads to Honolulu in search of a group of men who committed a crime against his family. In addition to appearing in the show himself, a collection of Diddy’s songs will also be featured in the episode, according to CBS.

In November, Nas appeared on the show in a brief role as a suspect in an investigation.

Last year, Puff appeared in the Russell Brand and Jonah Hill flick Get Him to the Greek, playing a demanding record exec; many fans and critics alike agreed that it was a scene-stealing role.

The episode of Hawaii Five-0 is set to air this spring. —Adam Fleischer for XXL
