Rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs, 52, likes to celebrate Halloween with a bang. Although he is a wealthy rapper and artist, he loves dressing up and has been shocking his fans for many years with his creativity. This year he did not disappoint and showed the world that he is a man of many talents, staying in character and playing icon Heath Ledger all night long. In fact, many fans think Diddy made a better Joker than Jared Leto in the DCEU.

The Clown Prince of Crime
For this year's Halloween, Diddy stepped out in a near-perfect costume as the Clown Prince of Crime from the 2008 Batman film The Dark Knight and channeled the character for the entire night, interacting with fans and other creatives like character. Fans were impressed by his transformation, both in appearance and personality, as he played anarchy for spectators and cameras.
- “Why is Diddy a better Joker than Jared Leto?” – @hardydayt0na

“Don't tell me @Diddy didn't win an audition to be the next Joker. Bruh was in full character for an entire night.” – @WillBlackmon
- “We all agree that Diddy won Halloween, right? Because he's the Joker himself.” – @badgyalaja
- “Diddy’s true personality came through in this Joker costume.” – @TheNikkiRosa
- “I can literally watch Diddy Joker videos all day lol.” – @Dwinfield

“@Diddy @c_murdaaaaaa ok Diddy won Halloween this year we can all go back inside now” – @beingpeople_.
Diddy has posted numerous photos and videos of himself dressed as Heath Ledger's Joker, complete with a heavily made-up face, bright purple suit, and signature green hair. He could be seen around town, giggling maniacally, hanging out in police cars and even wielding a flamethrower, like the character in the film.
Of course, the film wouldn't be complete without the iconic quote “It's not about the money. It's about sending a message! Everything burns!”
He even posted a video of Tyler the Creator's reaction, tagging him and saying, “This is going to be a glorious night.”

Diddy plays tough for Halloween
Diddy is no stranger to going all out this Halloween. He started relatively low-key, going to Heidi Klum's famous party in 2004 dressed as a gladiator, and imitating the legendary Prince from the iconic Purple Rain music video in 2012.
It seems he's developed a bit of a fascination with terrifying clowns in recent years, with his portrayal of Heath Ledger's Joker this year, and perhaps even more terrifying, dancing around the halls as the terrifying Pennywise the Dancing Clown from Stephen King's 2019 film IT.
We can always count on celebrities to show us immaculate Halloween costumes, but when they have the personality and determination to maintain character throughout Halloween night, it's a real treat. Sorry, Jared Leto, you might not have any more work when it comes to playing the Joker in the future, but even he probably can't deny the creativity Diddy has shown this year.
