Rapper SEAN 'DIDDY' COMBS has declared himself the biggest fan of ARCTIC MONKEYS - and has even asked the British rockers to join his record label.
Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders was ecstatic after the hip-hop star recently invited the group

to his mansion in Miami, Florida.
Rap fan Helders felt it was the perfect opportunity to confront Combs about "stealing" his idea of filming video diaries in swimming pools while on tour.
But the percussionist let the issue slide - after learning Combs was actually a big fan of his band and even wants to sign the fourpiece to his U.S. label.
And Helders can now show off proof the rapper loves the Monkeys - after capturing their entire meeting on video tape.
In the footage, Combs says, "A lot of people probably don't know this, but I am probably the biggest Arctic Monkeys fan. So when I met this guy it was like a dream come true and he's the biggest Puff Daddy fan in the world.
"Arctic Monkeys are now going to be on Bad Boy in America. You know we don't need the money. We're just going to do this. It's already a done deal." Helders adds: "I knew P Diddy was going to be in Miami as he was having a party... so I thought maybe now is the time to go confront him about this. I managed to get face-to-face and he just laughed it all off and said it was a coincidence. I believe him, we built up quite a lot of trust and we got on like a house on fire."
