Sean Combs Agrees With Fan, Admits He Should Have Married Kim Porter

Sean “Diddy” Combs seems to be regretful over the fact that he never married Kim Porter.

On Sunday, March 3, Diddy posted a photo of himself and Porter, who passed away from pneumonia on Nov. 15, 2018 and in the caption wrote “SMH.” He also included a broken heart emoji.

Someone then told the Bad Boy founder that it’s too late for him to be regretful because he should’ve married his ex when she was still alive.

Porter and Diddy have three children together, twin 12-year-old daughters Jessie James and D’Lila, and 20-year-old Christian. They were an on-and-off couple from 1994 to 2007. Diddy also helped raise Quincy, the son Porter has with R&B singer Al B. Sure.

“When she was alive you didn’t wanna marry her,” someone wrote under Diddy’s post. “Confused negro. GTFOH.”

Diddy chose not to argue with that follower. In fact, he agreed with him and admitted the mistake was all his. “I know. Played myself,” he wrote. “SMH.”

The 49-year-old also responded to someone who suggested he put money and success over true love.

“You can have all the materialistic things in the world but nothing amounts to the deep connection love and affection of a good woman or a family,” someone commented.

Diddy then responded to that person and wrote the word “Facts.”

A lot of other people left comments under his post as well, and many told him that he can remove some of the regret for

not marrying Kim by raising their children properly.

“Be the Best Dad and honor her memories God Bless 🙏 @diddy,” one person wrote.

“I know losing someone you loved deeply hurts and for whatever reason that part is sometimes not easily shown,” wrote another. “The best part is that she taught you love and you’ll be able to teach your children that love. You’ll see her in them as they grow, as they learn and experience so many things.”

Days before Porter’s death, she had been complaining of having flu-like symptoms. She saw a doctor and was given the anti-inflammatory drug Toradol as well as saline fluids and vitamins. The model went to bed early the night before she died after stating she felt ill.

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
