Diddy Gets Candid about Having 3.5-Hour Cry: 'I’ve Been Holding a Lot of S**t in Lately'

Sean "Diddy" Combs has been struggling to deal with the recent death of Kim Porter, and now the murder of friend Nipsey Hussle.

Music icon Sean "Diddy" Combs opened up about how he is handling the successive blows he has been dealt, after the recent deaths of people he loved.

Diddy posted a clip on Instagram in which he shared his coping mechanism with his fans: a good cry.

“I ain’t gon’ lie, I been holding a lot of s*** in lately. I just had a three and a half hour cry and let it all out… or as much as I could tap into. And that s*** felt great."

TEARS FOR HIS LOVED ONES

In the clip, a swollen-eyed Diddy reveals that he has been crying for over three hours, letting out all the pain and grief he has bottled up.

Diddy suffered a second blow when his friend and collaborator Nipsey Hussle was murdered on March 31, 2019, just months after the death of his long-time love and mother of three of his children, Kim Porter.

SHOCKED BY THE DEATH OF NIPSEY HUSSLE

Diddy had become close to Nipsey Hussle during the recording of the rapper's Grammy-nominated project, “Victory Lap:”

“Nipsey and I had just started really getting to know each other. I feel honored to have worked on his project. Nipsey represents change, he represents evolution, he represents everything our culture needs to embrace. Black ownership. Black love. Black wealth. God bless you and your family King. @laurenlondon whatever you need we are here for you. My family is your family. ”

DEALING WITH THE DEATH OF HIS CHILDEN'S MOTHER

Nipsey's sudden death, follows on the heels of Porter's demise just 5 months before, that left Diddy to raise the couple's 12-year-old twins, D'Lila Star and Jessie James.

The mother of 4 was found unresponsive in her California home, and it was later discovered that she had succumbed to an undiagnosed bout of pneumonia

Diddy held a memorial forPorter at his home in Bel Air, California, attended by friends, among whom were Kim Kardashian, Mary J. Blige, French Montana, and Kourtney Kardashian.

DIDDY SHOWS IT TAKES A STRONG MAN TO CRY

Diddy appeals to men, women, and children to open their hearts and show their grief. He believes that crying relieves the pain, and helps people to heal:

"Don’t be leaving nothing bottled up, you know what I’m saying? Let that thing out. God will be right there. He’ll let you know, come on, let’s get up, let’s go. I had me a three and a half hour cry. God is good. Let it go, y’all. Message me from me.”

Mental health specialists agree with Diddy, and often counsel people working through grief to vent their pain in tears.
