Music mogul Diddy has a new job: charter-school founder

NEW YORK -- He's been a rapper, actor, singer, entrepreneur, record producer and clothing designer.

Now Sean "Diddy" Combs has taken on a new job as the founder of a charter school in New York City's Harlem neighborhood.

Combs announced last week the Capital Preparatory Harlem Charter School will open in the fall.

The school will be overseen by Capital Prep leader Steve Perry, who founded Capital Prep Magnet School in Hartford, Connecticut, in 2005. Combs and the board have hired Orlando, Florida-based educator Danita Jones as the principal.

Combs said creating the school is "a dream come true."

Combs was born in Harlem. He attended Howard University, where he dropped out after two years but earned an honorary degree in 2014.
