Puff Daddy has announced that he will be retiring from music following the release of his next album.
The rap icon – real name Sean Combs - will spend his time focusing on his film career as he wants to stop making music while he’s at ‘a great place’.
In a new interview, the musician revealed that he would be doing one last world tour before hanging up his microphone forever.
Speaking to Cigar Aficionado magazine, he said: “I'm going to put out my last album and devote 100% of my time to doing films. I want to stop at a great place.”
He continued: “And a final album is a great place to stop. I want to take a victory lap, to do a world tour and really enjoy it one last time.”
Despite leaving the music industry, the star thinks that his music will stand the test of time.
“When I'm gone, only the songs will survive. I know I'm making music that will live on,” he said.

“I don't go into the studio just to be hot or to hear myself on the radio.”
He added: “Michael Jackson, Tupac, Biggie - part of them lives on in their music, even though they're not here anymore. That's really deep, man. The only thing like that is religion.”
While Combs isn’t exactly known for his film career, he has appeared in films including Muppets Most Wanted and Monster’s Ball.
