The father of seven had plenty of say while kicking it with James Corden on "Carpool Karaoke" this week.

The last ever episode of James Corden's Late Late Show is quickly approaching. Fans are obviously sad to see the English entertainer moving on, but he's definitely keeping them happy with an impressive roster of final guests. Most recently, he recruited Diddy to join him for this week's Carpool Karaoke segment, during which the host and his pal drive around the city and sing along to their favourite songs while spilling tea. Among the hot topics discussed by the New York native on screen were his tips for getting it on in the bedroom, as well as some secrets about his fellow rap stars.

Regarding the former, the father of seven credits his success to his '90s R&B playlist, red lighting, and keeping the focus on each other by putting phones away. As for the latter, he revealed to the late-night personality that there's only one other lyricist who's allowed to call him by his government name. "We call each other Sean, [but] nobody else can call me Sean," he said of Jay-Z, who was born Sean Carter while Diddy's is Combs.

Diddy Tells All on Carpool Karaoke

Those who do have the privilege of calling him by the name he was given at birth are on the "Sean-approved" page in the 53-year-old's book, he joked. As HipHopDX notes, other popular nicknames from over the years include Love, Puffy, Puff Daddy, Sean John, and P. Diddy, among others. Apart from Hov, Diddy noted that his mother also obviously has permission to use his original moniker.

Apart from his Carpool Karaoke stint, the producer has also been making headlines after Yung Miami confirmed that they're no longer romantically involved. At this time, it remains unclear what women he's spending time with, though he's certainly been showing plenty of affection to his youngest daughter, who's also named Sean Love Combs. Following the young one's birth last year, her father and the City Girl began drifting apart, though she says they're still friends. Did you catch Diddy on last night's episode of The Late Late Show?
