Rapper Diddy is to appear in a television adaptation of the Broadway revival of A Raisin in the Sun.
The hip-hop mogul – formerly P Diddy - stars as Walter Lee Jr in the production, after playing the part on stage in 2004.
The film, shot last December, tells the story of a family's struggles in Chicago's South Side in the 1950s.
It also stars Cosby Show actress Phylicia Rashad, who won a Tony award for her performance in the play.
The three-hour production will air on America's ABC network next February.
