P Diddy insists he hasn't pulled a publicity stunt to promote his fragrance.

The rapper filmed a steamy ad where he writhes fully clothed with a scantily-clad model.

"If I got naked then it would be a true publicity stunt" - Diddy

Diddy may have kept his pants on, but the shoot has been banned from TV because it is too raunchy.

Diddy said: "If I got naked then it would be a true publicity stunt. If I just let it all hang out and showed the world what I was working with, then you'd know it was a publicity stunt. But I kept my pants on so it's clearly not a publicity stunt.

"The campaign and the video is definitely racy. It's definitely erotic and sensual but I don't think it should have been banned from TV.

"But that's why, we are blessed today with the internet."
