Part 1 of their meetings:

http://www.myspace.com/thehookup


Hip hop legend P Diddy is teaming up with footie star Rio Ferdinand to organise a huge anti-violence gig in the UK.

The hip hop mogul and Manchester United football star both represent campaigns to fight gun and knife crime.

Their message comes after a wave of high profile stabbings on Britain's streets.

At London's exclusive Paper nightclub P Diddy said: "I promise I will bring one of the biggest hip hop shows to London. I'm going to bring all my friends over, we're going to do a big show.

"One of the most important messages we can get across to fans is the seriousness of gun and knife crime here.

"Put the guns and the knives down and live to see another concert."

Rio's intentions are good, he has been genuinely involved in elavating black youths in the past couple of years; But Puff is just in it to try and claw back some of his losses from the Snoop concert that fell through - he has only love for the benjamins

Rio's heart is in the right place but im sceptical of Diddy. My mum works for a branch of the NSPCC that works exclusively with black and mixed kids and Rio does alot of wok with them that he doesnt publicise.

Diddy and his peersare one of the reasons that we need to 'stop the guns'. The only thing he can do to help is go back to 1990s and not take part in all the foolishness and promotion of gangster life.
