At the same time, her death was officially ruled as due to lobar pneumonia, Al B. Sure! shared his belief in several Instagram posts on September 23 that Porter was murdered. Despite the official cause, the singer has expressed doubts and called for further investigation into her passing.
What Happened to P. Diddy’s Girlfriend Kim Porter?
Kim Porter, the ex-girlfriend of Sean “Diddy” Combs, tragically passed away in 2018 at the age of 47. She was a model and actress who had an on-and-off relationship with Diddy from 1994 to 2007. The couple shared three children: Christian “King” Combs, 26, and twin daughters, D’Lila and Jessie, 17. Diddy also helped raise Quincy, Kim’s 33-year-old son from her previous relationship with singer-songwriter Al B. Sure!
Kim was found dead at her home in Toluca Lake, Los Angeles, on November 15, 2018. Before her death, she had been experiencing flu-like symptoms for several days. According to Diddy, Kim had sent their children to stay with him so they wouldn’t catch the flu. He recalled that during one visit to check on her, she told him, “Puffy, take care of my babies,” a statement that deeply resonated with him.
Doubts Surrounding Her Death
Although the official cause of Kim’s death was pneumonia, some people have questioned this conclusion. Donald Trump Jr., the son of the former U.S. President, raised doubts about her passing in an interview, stating that it is rare for someone to die of pneumonia at 47. He shared that this was a concern brought up by people who knew her well.
In addition to these suspicions, a controversial memoir titled Kim’s Lost Words surfaced in September 2023. The publisher claimed the book was based on writings Kim had shared with close friends before her death, but the book’s authenticity has been widely disputed. The memoir allegedly described Diddy as abusive, but many of Kim’s friends, including her best friend Eboni Elektra, have denounced the book as fake.
Eboni took to Instagram to clarify the situation, stating, “Now it’s getting out of hand. THERE IS NO BOOK! Kim would never do such a thing, and that’s the honest-to-God truth.”
Kim’s Cause of Death Revealed
The Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office later confirmed that Kim Porter’s death was caused by lobar pneumonia, a severe infection in one section of her lungs. Although an autopsy was performed a day after she was found dead, it took months for the authorities to confirm the cause of death. Initially, the death certificate had deferred the cause of death.
Kim’s death was ruled natural, with no foul play involved. At the time of her passing, she had been experiencing flu-like symptoms, which escalated into pneumonia.
Kim’s ex-boyfriend, Sean “Diddy” Combs, shared his grief publicly, saying, “God broke the mold
