The three will be headliners for the "SOS Saving Ourselves-Help For Haiti" telethon, to air on BET on February 5th. The two-hour benefit concert will feature performances by Mary J. Blige, Keri Hilson, Robin Thicke, Monica and Wyclef, among others. "Words cannot express how I felt watching the catastrophic events unfold in Haiti," Diddy said in a statement. "I believe it is our duty to come together and help our brothers and sisters in Haiti, especially now, in their greatest hour of need...Together we can make a difference."
