RAP mogul Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs has been confirmed to guest star in an upcoming episode of "Notorious," the ABC TV drama which centres on TV news producer Julia George and her tumultuous relationship with criminal defense attorney Jake Gregorian.

Combs will play himself in the set, and will debut on screen during a scene shot at the show's fictional news program, "Louise Herrick Live", where he stops by to pick up the host (played by Kate Jennings Grant) to take her out for martinis at Chateau Marmont, Billboard reported.

Combs is also said to interact with the main character Julia (played by Piper Perabo), who produces the top-rated TV news program.

The appearance on "Notorious" will mark the second time Combs has appeared on an ABC program, after he guest-starred in the season 1 finale of Black-ish in May 2015.
