Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Asked Kim Porter if She Thought God Meant for Men to Just Have 1 Wife

Sean Diddy Combs didn’t have the healthiest relationship with late ex-girlfriend Kim Porter. Although the pair undoubtedly loved each other, Diddy was known to step out of his relationship quite a few times. Explaining himself, Diddy implied to his wife that what he was doing as simply in his nature.

Diddy was very forthcoming regarding his infidelities in his more mature years. His lack of commitment, which helped lead to his break up with Jennifer Lopez, was something he cautioned women would have to deal with.

“If I’m in a relationship with you, like 25 percent of your time you’re gon’ feel like, ‘Oh man, I hate being here, oh man I hate this guy. Oh man, he cheated on me, he lied on me,’” Diddy once told The Breakfast Club. “That’s 25 percent, know what I’m saying?”

But Diddy also asserted that it would always be worth dating him in the end.

“But then there’s 75 percent of ‘I’m gonna make you the happiest woman in the whole wide world.’ I’m going to be there to support your dreams, I’m going to be there to hold you, listen to you,” he added. “I’m going to be there to be your best friend and I promise you’ll smile the most. You know who I am, this is what it is. 25 percent, 75 percent, which deal would you choose?”

For Porter, that 75 percent might’ve been worth it considering how long she stuck beside Diddy. The pair dated on and off throughout the 90s, and only finally officially called it quits in 2007. During their turbulent relationship, both Porter and Diddy were open about the music mogul’s past transgressions. In an interview both once did with Essence, Diddy brought in religion to defend his past infidelities.

“Do you really think that God meant for a man to have just one wife?” Diddy said. “Or a woman to have one husband? Do you think God meant it that way?”

Porter, however, couldn’t have disagreed with Diddy more.

“Do you really want me having sex with some other man? You want that to happen?” she challenged.

“No, but God made us different,” Diddy responded.

But Porter still wasn’t buying Diddy’s logic.

“I could be just like you. I choose not to be,” she said.

But the “All About the Benjamins” hitmaker confided that Porter was enough for him to change his ways.

“This is the most monogamous I’ve ever been in my life…that’s all I’m trying to say,” she said.

Kim Porter had her awakening when Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs impregnated another woman

In the mid 2000s, Diddy stepped out of his relationship with Porter again. But this time, Diddy made matters worse by getting his other girlfriend pregnant, adding a new addition to his growing family. Diddy had a brief fling with Sarah Chapman at the time, with the pair giving birth to their daughter Chance Chapman in 2006. Porter was also pregnant around that time as well, expecting twins D’Lila Star and Jessie James. Porter heard from a mutual friend about Diddy’s romance with Chapman, which inspired the former model to do some deep investigating.

“I wasn’t even coming from the place of who, what, why,” Porter once told Essence (via People). “I laid low and did what women do: I did my background work, collected information [about the other woman]. 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 couldn’t let my energy be on that. I didn’t have time for any drama, trauma and bulls***.”

But perhaps even then, Porter might’ve still given Diddy yet another chance if he told her about the affair himself.

“I would have preferred to find out from him because that’s a man,” she added. “I know it’s hard for anyone to say to their significant other, ‘I’ve gotten into some s*** 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.”
