Sean “Puffy” Combs mourned the loss of his “best friend” Kim Porter by posting a video that showed the 2 of them embracing during a photo shoot.
The 46-year-old, who is mother to three of Diddy’s kids, was found dead in her bed of an apparent heart attack at her home in Toluca Lake, California on Thursday, Nov. 15, after reportedly battling the flu and pneumonia.
Combs, 49, apparently posted the video in response to negative comments made after he was spotted out with his longtime girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, 32, whom Kim despised.
“For the last three days I’ve been trying to wake up out of this nightmare. But I haven’t,” Combs wrote in the video caption on Sunday.
“I don’t know what I’m going to do without you baby. I miss you so much. Today I’m going to pay tribute to you, I’m going to try and find the words to explain our unexplainable relationship. We were more than best friends, we were more than soulmates. WE WERE SOME OTHER SHIT!! And I miss you so much. Super Black Love.”
He followed up the post by sharing photos of the mother-of-4 with his 12.4 million followers on Instagram.
“Words can’t explain ?FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER!!! Infinity and BEYOND!!!!” he captioned one of the pictures.
But others argued that Combs took his time mourning Kim online soon after she died. He was spotted out with Cassie the day after Kim passed. And on that same day, Combs “liked” an Instagram image of a young man — before he had even paid his respects to his soul mate on Instagram.
Unlike Combs’s other women, Cassie was welcomed into Kim’s tight inner circle after Kim learned that Combs cheated on her with the one-hit singer over a decade ago.
Music producer Dallas Austin, who dated Kim in high school in Columbus, GA, also paid his respects to his childhood friend on Instagram. See his post below.
