Music mogul P Diddy and football star David Beckham have struck up a beautiful friendship.

The unlikely pair apparently check up on each other regularly to make sure the the other is doing well.

"We just check on each other, make sure each other is all right. We can relate to each other, so it's a real natural relationship" - P Diddy

Diddy flew into London on Monday for what was supposed to be the start of a short UK tour with rapper Snoop Dogg.

But Snoop was unable to enter the country after his visa was denied and the four concerts had to be cancelled

So with time on his hands Diddy hooked up with David and Victoria Beckham for dinner in swanky Mayfair.

The US rapper then went on to throw one of his infamous party's at an exclusive club in the capital, where he revealed the key to his closeness to Becks is all about keeping it real.

"We just check on each other, make sure each other is all right. We can relate to each other, so it's a real natural relationship.

"It ain't nothing for the press or the media, it ain't no hype or nothing, it's just two guys that kind of get along all right. A lot of people you meet, they ain't really real, but he's real," he said.
