P Diddy is reportedly wanted by police for questioning after a man alleged he was punched in the face by the rapper.

P Diddy is reportedly wanted by police for questioning after a man alleged he was punched in the face by the rapper.

According to TMZ, disgruntled fan Steven Donaldson has claimed the 45-year-old - real name Sean Combs - struck him in the face at a Superbowl Party on Saturday night.

Mr Donaldson, who paid $100 (£65) for a ticket to the party, allegedly confronted the Bad Boys rap star after he turned up at the party at 1.15am, despite being booked to perform at the venue.

Mr Donaldson also claimed that Diddy also spent the majority of the time in the VIP longue, leading Mr Donaldson to criticise him face-to-face after he became unhappy about the lack of time he spent on stage.

Amateur footage uploaded to TMZ’s website shows a man repeatedly criticising Diddy for not perfoming, before the clip cuts out. It was at that moment when Mr Donaldson alleges Diddy punched him, before he was thrown out of the party by security.

He filed a battery report with police at the scene, according to a law enforcement source.

Scottsdale Police are reportedly now looking to question Diddy - one of the world's richest musicians - to hear his side of events. His representatives are yet to comment.

It comes after Diddy reportedly became embroiled in a fight with fellow rapper Drake outside a nightclub in Miami back in December apparently over the music rights of his hit song '0 to 100'.
