Sean "Diddy" Combs and his son Quincy seem like the perfect pair to appear on the new Fox hit, "Empire," as the plot is based on a music mogul and his sons' attempts to break into the biz and become stars like their father, something Diddy and his son know all too well.

Quincy has a new single called "Friends First" featuring French Montana, and a guest-starring role on "Empire" would be great publicity, but Diddy is pulling the plug because of the show's music publishing practices that they refuse to modify, even for Puff.

According to Page Six, "Empire" has a music contract in place that stars are required to sign, similar to American Idol & Glee. The show is scored by Timbaland and features original music that's sold on iTunes. Diddy allegedly called all the bigwigs at Fox television, but once it was understood that Quincy would have to give up intellectual property of his work, Puff pulled him out of the appearance.

Quincy is still being considered for a role in season two, but as of now, his pops Diddy isn't having it. Check out pictures of Diddy and Quincy in the gallery.
