Diddy selling off Manhattan bachelor pad

SEAN 'DIDDY' COMBS has put his Manhattan, New York apartment on the market for a whopping $8.5 million (GBP5.3 million).

The rap mogul and entrepreneur bought the one-bedroom pied-a-terre for $3.8 million (GBP2.4 million) in 2005, according to public records, and the listing information, obtained by RealEstalker.com, suggests the pad on the 66th floor of the Park Imperial building features a media lounge and a piano room.

The place is also "fully customized for the most sophisticated living," and comes with a nine-foot flat-screen TV and panoramic city and Central Park views.
