First Mother’s Day Without the Mother Of His Kids, Rapper Diddy Breaks Down
This upcoming Mother’s Day will be the first Sean “Diddy” Combs will celebrate without his late love, Kim Porter. Kim passed away in November 2018 after falling ill to pneumonia. She and Diddy had 3 kids together: Christian, 21, and 12-year-old twins D’Lila and Jessie.
The music mogul in a newly released audio recording of his family interview with the Essence magazine stated that it hurts so much losing his ex-girlfriend and soulmate as he prepares to spend first Mother’s Day without her.

In the released audio, Diddy got caught up in his emotions as he spoke about the mother of his children, acknowledging it takes time when one loses a mother or soulmate. The father-of-six, also said in emotion laden voice that even though time is often said to heal wounds, he doubts that is the case when it comes to mothers.
Read what he said below:
”Mother’s Day is going to hurt. We definitely are going to celebrate all the mothers. We’re not going to get in the way of that.
Honestly, anybody that has lost a mother or lost a soulmate – it takes time. It takes time. They say time heals all wounds when it comes to mothers …
I don’t think that’s the case. That’s not a negative thing because as people, we need wounds.
You need something to sting you sometimes and keep you on point and teach you a lesson,”
The 49-year-old, who also raises Kim’s son Quincy, 27, from a past relationship – broke down in tears as he continued:
”I don’t know what I’m going to do. I’m going to figure something out though. This hurts so much. I know that people want to hear the good stuff, but it hurts and there ain’t no way around that.”
Combs then explained that he wanted to do the interview to let “everybody know how special all the mothers are,” but that it was hard for him to find the positive in his loss.
“I don’t think anyone would ever understand how hard it is to be a black mother,”
he said.
“I think we are the strongest beings. When it comes to the strongest beings on the face of the Earth, it would have to be black mothers.”
