‘I’m Giving You Your Flowers’: Diddy’s Appreciation Speech Stumbles When His Ex Sarah Chapman Thinks He’s Talking About Their 16-Year-Old Daughter, Chance

Sean Diddy Combs celebrated his daughter Chance and her 16th birthday at a beautiful family dinner on Wednesday, July 20. The father of six shares Chance with his former girlfriend Sarah Chapman. While dining with their family and friends, including “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Mimi Faust, Diddy took a moment to celebrate the mother of his eldest daughter and his friend of nearly 30 years on his Instagram Story.

“I wanted y’all to get the whole entire drip,” said Diddy as he put the camera on Chapman, who wore a colorful two-piece set. He called her “gorgeous” and “beautiful,” adding “Yea I definitely got good taste.” Chapman playfully looked into the camera saying, “You know, I’m shy.”

The next clip sees the 52-year-old sitting next to Chapman as he expresses his appreciation for who she is as a woman and mother.

“We’re here at our daughter’s sweet 16, yes, and I just wanted to say that if it wasn’t for you, man, oh, man,” he continued. “I’m so blessed to have a child with such a sophisticated, chic, beautiful, sweet queen like you … just the sweetest angel in the world.”

Chapman chimed in again thinking he was making a video for Chance’s birthday, but Diddy clarified it was all for her. “I’m giving you your flowers right now,” he added.

Chance Combs was born five months prior to Diddy’s twin girls, Jessie James and D’Lila Star, who turn 16 in December. He dated their mother, late model Kim Porter, who passed away from pneumonia in 2018. The former couple also share a 24-year-old son, Christian King Combs.

Diddy has also played a father figure role in the life of Porter’s oldest son, Quincy Brown. Diddy shares his firstborn, Justin Combs, with another ex, fashion expert Misa Hylton.

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.
