P Diddy asks kids for parenting tips

P. Diddy asks his children how to be a better father.

The 46-year-old rapper - who has son Justin, 22, with Misa Hylton-Brim, Quincy, 24, Christian, 17, and twins D'Lila and Jessie, nine, with Kim Porter, and daughter Chance, also nine, with Sarah Chapman - is proud of the close bond he has with his kids and isn't afraid to seek help from them.

He said: "On a personal level, I actually sent my girls some texts and I just asked them, I said, 'Can you tell me how to become a better daddy?' That's the kind of relationship that I have with them."

And Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, thinks his kids learned to give such good advice from the tips he has given them over the years.

In an interview with 'Entertainment Tonight', he said: "We're so close, so they know me and they can read me. I've been giving them advice so long, I guess it taught them how to give advice...

"They are the ones giving me advice now."

When he's at home with his kids, Diddy is likely to have them watch his favourite TV show, 'Downton Abbey'.

He admitted recently: "I'm a big fan of 'Downton Abbey'.

"I kind of stumbled on it. I'm interested in history, kings and lords. I watched episode one and got wrapped up in it."
