The actor celebrated Porter by acknowledging the many accomplishments she’s experienced in life, including being a loving mother. “Kim Porter was coined the First Lady of Hip Hop, a trailblazer, a trend-setter for Black girls everywhere, but for me, she simply was my mommy. She filled my life with a multitude of firsts. She was there to give me hugs and kisses and just fill my life with pure unconditional love.”
