Rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs is infuriated by constant speculation over his love life, because the media intrusion destroys any possibilities of romance with any potential girlfriends.

The hip-hop star, 38, has been snapped with Hollywood beauties like Sienna Miller and Cameron Diaz in recent months, sparking reports of a relationship.

But Combs insists any chances he may have had have been dashed by the intense media coverage.

He tells Britain's Glamour magazine, "It doesn't make me laugh at all."

"Sometimes there's someone you may be trying to become friends with or you may even be thinking about going out with the person, but because of all that, it can never get off the ground. That's just a nuisance."

Combs is currently being linked to his R+B protegee Cassie. He split from his longterm girlfriend and mother of three of his children, Kim Porter, in 2007.
