'Diddy' to make guest appearance on 'CSI: Miami'

NEW YORK -- Sean "Diddy" Combs is becoming a prosecutor -- at least on television.

CBS says the rapper has agreed to a two-episode appearance on "CSI: Miami."

The network says Combs will portray a prosecutor who doesn't get along with police Lt. Horatio Caine, played by David Caruso.

CBS said Tuesday that Combs' episodes will probably air in mid- to late winter.

Combs drew praise for his role in the ABC movie "A Raisin in the Sun."

Another rap artist, Nelly, has had a recurring role this season in "CSI: New York."
