Apparently, Diddy would love to speak, but he’s still so distraught and reeling from the shock of her sudden death that he’s not sure he’d make it through.
For the last three days I’ve been trying to wake up out of this nightmare. But I haven’t. I don’t know what I’m going to do without you baby. I miss you so much. Today I’m going to pay tribute to you, I’m going to try and find the words to explain our unexplainable relationship. pic.twitter.com/QtVnUrv0ep

HE'S BEEN "DEVASTATED"
This doesn’t come as a surprise, as the “Bad Boy Entertainment” boss was said to be “devastated and shocked” not long after Porter’s death. A source further disclosed:
“Diddy is devastated and shocked. He and Kim were still very close friends and co-parents even though their romantic relationship didn’t work. They were still a family.”

Per Diddy’s request, Porter’s body will arrive at the funeral in a horse-drawn carriage because she loved horses while she was alive.
Porter is survived by her four children- 20-year-old son, Christian, twin daughters, Jessie and D’Lila, 11, and Quincy Brown, her son from a previous relationship whom Diddy raised as his own.
