Kim Porter, who has three children rapper Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs, has said that she expected the hip hop mogul to play away from home, but had hoped he would have the decency to tell her himself.
She told Essence magazine: “I would have preferred to find out from him because that’s what a man would do.
“I know it’s hard for anyone to say to their significant other, ‘I’ve gotten into some shit and I got a baby on the way.’ But men do get caught up in things, I’m not naive to that. Still, there’s a right and a wrong way to handle it. Because, most of all, we were friends. Even if I couldn’t have understood it as a woman, I would have understood it as a friend.
“As black women we sacrifice. We stand by our man, through thick and thin, through whatever. But if you feel like, ‘Maybe I am getting the short end of the stick,’ that’s when a change has to take place.”
36 year old Kim was pregnant with twins when she learned from a friend that Sean had a secret child with fashion worker Sarah Chapman..
She added: “I wasn’t even coming from the place of who, what, why. I laid low and did what women do, I did my background work, collected information about her.
“But I wasn’t even on it like that because I was pregnant, and what was bubbling inside me was a blessing from God. I didn’t have time for any drama, trauma and bullshit.”
Porter said Diddy finally came clean about his lovechild with Chapman, and begged for forgiveness.
But Porter decided to leave the rapper to set an example to her baby daughters.
She said: “It’s not an original script. He’s not the first man who’s cheated. He’s not the first man who’s had a baby outside of his relationship. He’s not the originator of this. But at this point in my life – I have girls now – it’s a different programme.”
