Diddy's son Christian Combs remembers late mom Kim Porter hours before rapper's sex trafficking trial
Diddy 's son Christian Combs paid poignant tribute to his late mother Kim Porter on Mother's Day Sunday - just hours before his father's sex trafficking trial began.
Christian, known as King, 27, is the eldest child of the rapper, 55, and Porter, who died aged 47 in 2018 from lobar pneumonia.
He took to Instagram to remember his mom as his father faces being locked up for life, writing: 'Happy mother's Day Mommy !!!! I love you so much words can't express how much I wish I could call you right now!!
'Whenever I'm down i know that it's you picking me up right when I need it !! I Love you, wish I could hug you, kiss you and just talk to you !!
'I love you so much and I know that you are with me still watching over every step I take and every choice I make I love you mommy!!!! Happy Mother's Day!'
The post was accompanied by photos of him as a child with his doting mom.
Christian, known as King, 27, is the eldest child of the rapper, 55, and Porter, who died aged 47 in 2018 from lobar pneumonia.
Diddy and Porter were in an on-off relationship from 1994-2007. They also share twin daughters Jessie and D'Lila, 18.
Porter spoke rarely about her relationship with Combs, who she found out was expecting a child with a woman named Sarah Chapman at the same time she was having twins. She claimed to still be friends with the music mogul after they broke up.
Porter had been photographed with Combs and their kids in the months before her death.
The two even spent Mother's Day together in 2018 and had remained functioning co-parents to their three children.
'We're committed to our children even if we couldn't commit to each other,' Porter once said.
Porter did not give much insight into why her relationship with Combs ultimately faltered, though Combs did tell Essence in 2006 that he wasn't ready to marry her.
'In ending this relationship, I made a decision that was in the best interest of myself, Sean and our family. I look forward to moving on with my life and my career and wish him prosperity, health and happiness in life and in love. We will remain friends and committed parents to our children,' Porter said in a statement after the pair broke up for the final time.
Sean 'Diddy' Combs is on trial accused of abusing, threatening, and coercing women for years, including at 'freak off' orgy afterparties to his famed celebrity-filled events.

He faces life in prison on five federal charges: racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking and two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution.
Combs has plead not guilty to all the charges. His defense team has said the alleged victims are ex-girlfriends who willingly participated in threesomes.
Prosecutors have said 'Victim 1', Cassie Ventura, plans to testify using her own name.
