Arctic Monkeys drummer for new band

Arctic Monkeys' Matt Helders is working under a new name, thanks to P Diddy. The American rapper says he "didn't want to fuck up [Matt's] image" when they played together recently, and so bestowed upon him a new alias, Rufus Black. Black – not Helders – is a member of Diddy's new band, Dirty Money.

"I didn't wanna fuck up the great thing [Matt's] got going on," Diddy explained to Contact Music. "[He] is down with my Dirty Money crew, [but] whenever he's playing with us, he's Rufus Black." Helders first appeared with Dirty Money in June on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross. Led by Diddy, the group has little in common with Arctic Monkeys: there are no wiry guitars, Sheffield accents or, er, chart-topping singles. Instead, Helders has to follow the beat of a different drum (sorry!), accompanying straight-up contemporary hip-hop.

"It is so strange that me and him are friends," Diddy said. "Arctic Monkeys are so cool, you know? And people look at me as cool maybe as a person, but I don't know if musically they look at me as the underground cool rock'n'roll thing." That's right, Diddy – they don't. "[So] I didn't wanna even call [Matt] by his real name."

While Diddy has yet to record with Helders, he is keen to have the English drummer in the studio. "As a drummer he's definitely one of the most soulful I've ever worked with," Diddy explained. "His pocket reminds me of a James Brown pocket. So funky and soulful. When he plays I actually get goosebumps."
