Diddy who turned up for the
burial ceremony of his late baby mama alongside friends and loved ones, has
disclosed how he met and fell in love with Kim Porter.
Diddy who spoke for nearly
18 minutes as he paid tribute to the mother-of-four, crediting her with
teaching him how to love, disclosed that she had helped him battle depression
earlier this year. He said;
Anybody who knows Kim,
she’s just a person you vibe with, you know? I can’t put your relationship into
a certain box,’ ‘She always told me, she felt like God sent her here to help me
out. I’d be like “Girl, what are you talking about ”‘he continued as everyone
laughed. ‘I didn’t really understand how to love, I mean. We went through some
circumstances, we didn’t have a big family and all that and she just really
started breaking down the exterior in me and the shell that I put up.
Diddy who then revealed
that he was ‘really depressed’ at the beginning of the year, disclosed that it
was Porter who helped him through the darkness.
‘I was getting older, and I
just went through a dark, dark time,’ he said. ‘And even though we wasn’t
together, she was that type of person.’
‘She would come over
and…she was just like, “Come on, Puff. You gotta get up. You gotta get up out
the bed. You gotta get moving. You gotta get up.’
Kim Porter, 47, was laid to
rest next to her mother after an emotional funeral in Columbus, Georgia on
Saturday. According to Diddy the first time he saw Porter was during a
recording session at Uptown Records in the early 1990s.
‘God, I hope one day I get
me a girl like that,’ Diddy recalled thinking to himself at the time.
‘I would come into the
office every day and she worked at the front desk,’ he continued. ‘And I would
be so excited to come up in the elevator. To know that I was going to see her.’
The music executive also
disclosed that he started off with Kim as friends, and that even from the
beginning she was his ‘confidante’.
‘She was like my guidance,
still is,’ he said. ‘I was just open. We fell in love and honestly, her love
was too much for me to handle. It was a lot to handle, to take in.’
‘As time went on our
relationship took so many changes from being boyfriend and girlfriend, to being
lovers, to being best friends. To being just straight up homies, like, someone
you know you can count on. Somebody that has your back, you have their back.’
Diddy who shares three
children with Porter, their son Christian, 20, and 11-year-old twin daughters
Jessie James and D’Lila, as well as Porter’s firstborn Quincy Brown, 27, also
pledged to always be there for them at the funeral.
‘Your mother instilled in
me this, and I pledge in front of everyone now, I will always be there for
y’all,’ he told them.
