Joaquin Phoenix the musician may have his doubters - but Sean Combs isn’t one of them.

According to the rapper-turned-actor, the Oscar nominee really is an actor-turned-rapper. And since Diddy helped Phoenix record an album, he should know - right?

“Joaquin’s for real,” Sean declared. Seriously? So this I’m Still Here: The Lost Year of Joaquin Phoenix project with Casey Affleck really isn’t a new Borat? “If he’s not for real, he tricked me,” Combs claimed.

The way I see it, we have one of three different possibilities here:

1. Joaquin really is a crazy (good?) rapper.
2. Sean Combs is easily duped.
3. Diddy deserved to do have his acting praised by James Lipton on Inside the Actor’s Studio.

Which one do you think it is?
