Sean ’Diddy’ Combs has pushed back the release of his new album Last Train To Paris because he refuses to compete against upcoming releases from Jay-Z and hip-hop newcomer Drake.

The Bad Boy Records boss was due to drop his forthcoming disc in September, and while he admits the project is "coming," he has stopped short of announcing a new date for the album.

Combs admits the huge anticipation for his pal Jay-Z’s long-awaited Blueprint 3 and Lil Wayne’s protégé Drake’s debut Thank Me Later - both slated for autumn releases - has played a part in his decision to delay his own material.

He tells MTV.com, "We just vibing and making music, having a good time. The Train is coming... Its coming, its coming. Right now, it’s like Jay-Z time and Drake time. Enjoy those guys. But the Train is coming."
