LOS ANGELES/NEW YORK (Billboard) - Students at Chula Vista (Calif.) High School near San Diego were treated to a particularly nice surprise on a recent Tuesday.

Rather than the standard fare of reading, writing and arithmetic, the school doled out a healthy dose of Diddy, who made a guest appearance courtesy of local hip-hop station XMOR-FM (Blazin 98).

The student body won the visit by sending the most text messages to the radio station as part of a campaign to promote his new album, "Press Play."
