Diddy, Pharrell for new Haiti charity gig

P Diddy, Pharrell Williams and Queen Latifah have signed up to headline a charity concert to raise funds for the Haiti earthquake appeal.

The hip-hop stars will perform at the 'SOS Saving Ourselves - Help for Haiti' event, which will take place in Miami on February 5.

Proceeds from the gig, which will be shown on BET TV Network, MTV and VH1, will be donated to charities including Wyclef Jean's Yele Haiti foundation, CARE, Project Medishare and Children's Safe Drinking Water.

"Words cannot express how I felt watching the catastrophic events unfold in Haiti. I believe it is our duty to come together and help our brothers and sisters in Haiti, especially now, in their greatest hour of need. Together we can make a difference," Diddy said in a statement.

George Clooney's recent 'Hope For Haiti Now' telethon raised over $60 million (£37.5 million) for survivors of the earthquake.

Diddy's son Justin reportedly donated money from his recent all-star birthday party to help the Haiti earthquake relief fund.
