Sean “Diddy” Combs confessed that he got into a relationship with Jennifer Lopez as a way to win back his ex, Kim Porter.
In a recently rediscovered interview with Essence (via Radar Online) from 2007, Diddy shared insights into his approach to high-profile relationships, expressing, “I thought, ‘I’ll test the waters and hopefully Kim will see I’m serious and run after me.'”
Porter said she remained aware of her ex-partner’s motives and confidently stated in the same interview: “I know what’s really going on. He still loves me.”
Essence also learns from Diddy the reason behind his attraction to Porter, a factor that led to their split.
“I’m used to clapping when I walk into a room. And [Kim] amazing,” he recalls. “I would tell her, ‘I guess I’ll go with someone else who will take care of me the way I want to be taken care of, who will give a little more attention. .” ferocious.'”
The relationship between Porter and Diddy had many ups and downs, reconciling in 2003 and finally breaking up in 2007.
In the late ’90s and early ’20s, Diddy and Lopez were a celebrity couple that attracted significant media interest due to their relationship and scandals.
Despite her A-list status, the singer ultimately decided to break up with the rapper due to Diddy’s involvement in a 2001 nightclub shooting, leading to a trial that brought their relationship to a crossroads.
The reenacted interview comes as the “I Need A Girl” rapper faces a new chapter at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center.
