Diddy's children address late mother Kim Porter's sudden 2018 death in social media post

Sean "Diddy" Combs' children are speaking out after their father's arrest, disputing claims that their mother ever wrote a book after a reported memoir was released.

"Claims that our mom wrote a book are simply untrue. She did not. And anyone claiming to have a manuscript is misrepresenting themselves," they wrote. "Please understand that any so-called ‘friend’ speaking on behalf of our mom or her family is not a friend. Nor do they have her best interests at heart."

"Our lives were shattered when we lost our mother. She was our world. And nothing has been the same since she passed. While it has been incredibly difficult to reconcile how she could be taken from us too soon. The cause of her death has long been established," they wrote. "There was no foul play. Grief is a lifelong process. And we ask that everyone respect our request for peace as we continue to cope with her loss every day."
