Who would’ve thought hip-hop mogul Diddy is a closet country music fan. Stepping out on the Music City stage alongside Kellie Pickler the rapper revealed his love for the genre.

“Are y’all surprised to see me here? Well Music City, I’m here! I’ve always been a kind’ve down low country fan,” he said. “It’s always been a dream of mine to come to the CMAs. I love me some country music, baby!”

Every move Diddy makes is a power move so he was sure to take a moment to plug his new channel, Revolt, before presenting the award for vocal group of the year to Little Big Town. – Alley Olivier
