The mogul, who has turned his Ciroc Vodka into a $100 million franchise, has just sealed a deal to partner with DeLeon, which was founded by Brent Hocking in 2008 and was introduced to the U.S. market on Cinco de Mayo, 2009. It has since won a string of awards.

Diddy isn’t the first Hip-Hop head to hop on the tequila wave. Earlier this year, Jeezy was named the “multicultural advisor” to the founder of Tequila Avion.
