Hip-Hop Mourns The Tragic Loss Of Diddy's Longtime Love, Kim Porter

The actress, model and mother of four died at age 47.

This past Thursday (Nov. 15) it was reported that Kim Porter, former actress/model and mother of four, passed away. The 47-year-old was found dead in her Los Angeles home, and initial reports have stated her death could be linked to complications with pneumonia, but currently, nothing is confirmed. Porter and Bad Boy mogul Diddy dated on-and-off for 13 years, from 1994 until 2007. 

The former couple had three children together: Christian, D'Lila and Jessie James, while she also has an older son, Quincy, from a previous relationship with R&B crooner Al B Sure. Sources have also reported that Porter was the "love of [Diddy's] life and his very best friend."

We send our deepest condolences and sincerest prayers to their families during this tragic time. Below, many of Diddy and Kim's closest friends in the music industry shared their sentiments on Kim's sudden passing.
