Arctic Monkey Serves as Diddy's Temporary Drummer

2:00 p.m. · June 11, 2010 · by Kiran Aditham

It's no secret that Diddy fancies himself an Arctic Monkeys fan. In fact, the hip-hop impresario/Ciroc pitchman not only moshed at their NYC show in August but even went so far as to declare himself the fifth member of the British band last fall. Now, it looks at least like one of the Monkeys is returning the favor as AM's drummer Matt Helders filled in on the skins for Diddy's backing band, Dirty Money, during a performance of their single, "Hello Good Morning," on Jonathan Ross's BBC1 talk show. 

According to NME, the performance will air tonight at 10:30 BST on BBC1 and just to prove how chummy Diddy and Arctic Monkeys have become, the trade adds that pair went on to party together at Whisky Mist in London after the performance.
