Diddy seems to be star- ring in a new, updated ver- sion of the Rush Hour franchise, but there will be no Chris Tucker or Jackie Chan.
The fervor started when Diddy posted a Billboard on Instagram, prompting the news. At the time of this writ-

Additionally, the posting explicitly stated that Diddy’s co-star would be Byung-hun Lee.
