P Diddy left the polling stations in New York yesterday thanking none other than himself for getting Barack Obama elected.

The rapper also known as Sean Combs made sure he let the public know that his vote was the one that counted.

He told the Associated Press, "I felt like my vote was the vote that put him into office.

“It was down to one vote, and that was going to be my vote. And that may not be true, but that's how much power it felt like I had."

Other stars including Paris Hilton, Christina Aguilera and Ben Affleck all paid a visit to the polling stations yesterday to vote for Obama or John McCain.

In the early hours of this morning Obama made history as the US' first African-American President.
