Diddy’s Ex Kim Porter Died at 47 — Years Later, Her Father and Children Have Broken Silence on Their Relationship

A key source of tension between the couple was Diddy’s alleged jealousy. Kim herself alluded to Diddy’s controlling nature during an interview. She revealed how difficult it was to truly distance herself from him, even after their breakup.

She shared that Diddy would call her constantly — sometimes “50, 60 times a day” — making it hard for her to establish her individuality. “It was like my life was not my own.… He was very, very intrusive,” Kim admitted.

In 2000 during one of their many breakups, Kim tried to move on with her life, but reports suggest that Diddy had difficulty accepting this. Kim entered into a relationship with music executive Shakir Stewart, which allegedly enraged Diddy.

During a trip to Italy for the wedding of music mogul L.A. Reid, Diddy reportedly lashed out at Shakir in a fit of jealousy. According to Shakir’s mom and close friends, Diddy went to Shakir’s room after the ceremony and broke a chair over his head, leaving him bleeding on the hotel floor.

Shakir’s mother recalled how he had to receive stitches and how Diddy allegedly threatened Shakir, “I’m going to kill you.” This violent outburst reportedly left Shakir’s loved ones deeply concerned for his safety and even prompted his mother to urge him to leave the music industry.
