Sean 'Diddy' Coombs appeared on MSNBC, and said he believes that Barack Obama has 'shortchanged' black voters
But he quickly moved on to presidential politics.
He told Sharpton: 'My number one thing, though, to be honest, is black people.
'I feel like we put President Obama in the White House. When I look back, I just wanted more done for my people because that's the name of the game.
'This is politics. You put somebody in office you get in return the things that you care about for your communities.
He added: 'I think we got a little bit shortchanged.
'That's not knocking the President. There's a lot going on, he's done an excellent job, you know, but I think it's time to turn up the heat because the black vote is going to decide who is the next president of the United States.'

Diddy, who has previously been known as P Diddy and Puff Daddy, then called on Hillary to engage with the black community.
'Hillary Clinton, you know, I hope she starts to directly talk to the black community,' he said.
'It really makes me feel, you know, almost hurt that our issues are not addressed and we're such a big part of the voting bloc.'
'The heat has to be turned up so much that as a community we got to hold our vote.
'Really revolutionize the game. Make them come for our vote. It's a whole different strategy but I think we need to hold our vote because I don't believe any of them
