Sean “Diddy” Combs remembers his Kim Porter on her birthday.
On Friday (December 15), the rapper and Bad Boy Records founder took to social media to pay tribute to his late ex-girlfriend on her 53rd birthday.
“We miss you so much Kim! Happy Birthday beautiful! Love forever,” Combs, 54, wrote Instagram next to a photo of him kissing Porter.
Diddy – who faces multiple sexual assault claims – also shared several snaps with Porter on his Instagram Story, including an image of the pair walking on the beach together.
Diddy and Porter first started dating in 1994 and finally called things off in 2007 after about 13 years. They had three children: son Christian, 25, and twin daughters D'Lila Star and Jessie James, 16.
Porter died in November 2018 at her home in Los Angeles at the age of 47. Her cause of death was ruled lobar pneumonia, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office.
The music mogul's post comes after he denied four allegations of sexual assault and abuse made against him in recent weeks.
“ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,” Diddy wrote in a statement on Dec. 6. “For the past two weeks, I have sat in silence and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy. Heinous accusations have been made against me by people looking for a quick payout. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things they claim. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”
Diddy has been sued for sexual assault by a total of four women, including his longtime romantic partner, R&B singer Cassie, who has accused him of rape and physical abuse, among other things. Although that case was settled the day after it was filed, Combs subsequently sued three other women, all Jane Does, who say the hip-hop mogul sexually assaulted them.
In the most recent case filed, the woman says she was “sex trafficked” and “gang-raped” by Combs, former Bad Boy Records president Harve Pierre and another man in 2003 when she was 17. A separate case for this alleged incident was filed against Pierre and Bad Boy alleging sexual assault.
