Once upon a time a long time ago, Diddy (nee Puff Daddy) dated Jennifer Lopez. They were kind of like the Kanye and Kim of their time, kids.

Lopez and her booty have been the news lately, thanks to the comparative butt shaking the 45-year old does with Iggy Azelea in the video for the Lopez song appropriately called "Booty."

Diddy saw the video, and color him impressed. He gushed about his ex to InTouch Weekly.

"Oh my god. I'm so lucky to have that great woman in my history, she is one of the greatest I've ever seen," he explained."I mean, [her booty is] great. It's a work of art, it's something that will go down in history for real it will."

How would he compare Lopez's rump to Kim Kardashian's? A rump her hubby Kanye West believes should be "dipped in gold"

"No way, no diss to Kanye and Kim but that thing right there, that thing right there is something special," he said when asked to compare celebrity bottoms.

Lopez caught wind of her ex-boo's kind words, and had some nice things to say about the fellow she still calls Puffy.

'As much as he roots for me and as proud as he is of me and of the time we had together,  I am just as proud to see what he's done, she told Access Hollywood.

Yup, the way to a woman's heart is through her booty.
