Ellen Degeneres, being the great comedian that she is, decided to clown around with Sean “Diddy” Combs himself!

During her interview with Combs, Ellen brings up Halloween and asks him, “…is this a true story…I heard you’re scared of clowns.”

With a straight face, Diddy responds, “No…Impossible because I’m a black man. I have so many other things to be fearful of. A clown is not going to scare me.”

Ellen, in disbelief, tries to question him saying, “Really?”

“Yes. I’m not afraid of clowns,” Combs said.

Immediately after stating this, a horrifying clown, resembling “It” jumps out of a box next to him, and Diddy bursts out of his chair, kicking out his leg, and then proceeds with doing a dance.

“…Oh, you wanna play?” Combs asked DeGeneres while he nervously paced around, then sat down again. “You know, I woke up this morning, and I said, ‘I want my life to be full of surprises.’ Ellen, I thank you. Thank you.”

Ellen completely satisfied with Combs’ reaction stated, “That was so gratifying.”

Diddy, jokingly, “You really affected my street cred with that, all right?”

With Halloween around the corner, what are you afraid of?
