P. Diddy is 'funnier' than Eddie Murphy

Eddie Murphy's ex-wife Tracey Edmonds has claimed that P. Diddy is funnier than him, The Mirror reports.

The film producer - who split from comedian Murphy after just two weeks of marriage in January - is now dating the hip-hop star and claims he is funnier than her former husband.

She said: "Diddy is the funniest man I've ever met. I'm so lucky to find someone so soon after Eddie.

"It's early days - we've only been on three or four dates - but he's whisked me off my feet. I don't know about wedding bells but he's definitely the man for me."

Diddy, real name Sean Combs, split from his long-term girlfriend Kim Porter last year.
