American music mogul P Diddy held a star-studded birthday bash to mark his 50th birthday.
The ‘I’ll Be Missing You’ rapper whose real name is Sean Combs – celebrated his milestone birthday at his Beverly Hills mansion on Saturday night (14.12.19) with the likes of power couples Jay Z and Beyonce and Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West, Cardi B and Offset, singer Lizzo and Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
Guests were invited to the party with an audio message from supermodel Naomi Campbell, who told partygoers: “You’re invited to Diddy’s 50th birthday party … only come with dancing shoes and good vibes.”
P Diddy turned 50 early last month but wanted to bring to December to celebrate the life of the late Kim Porter, who would have been 47 on Sunday.
One guest admits the whole thing got quite “emotional”. They said: “It was an emotional evening. [Gospel singer] Marvin Sapp sang Puffy’s favourite spiritual song, ‘Never Would Have Made It.’ Puffy got real emotional.”
Mary J. Blige made a surprise performance, taking to the stage from around 11 pm. The insider added: “There’s so much history there and everyone was into Mary. [Diddy’s] three daughters were dancing. Jay Z and Beyonce were watching. It was incredible.”
The party ended around five in the morning, with a DJ set from DJ Cassidy. The source told the New York Post’s Page Six column: “Lil Kim and Mary were still dancing and Snoop and Khalifa were still smoking weed. It was an epic and long night. Pharrell Williams was dancing all night, too.”
Diddy who now goes by the name Love then posted a heartfelt tribute to his late ex Kim Porter on social media.
The Grammy award-winning hitmaker took to social media to honour the late actress on what would have been her 49th birthday on Sunday (15.12.19).
Sharing a video, he captioned it: “HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY @ladykp … Words can’t explain how much we miss you but today is your birthday. We’re celebrating you today! We love and we miss you!!!!! (sic)”
Last month was the anniversary of her death and P Diddy led tributes to Kim, a year on from her tragic passing at the age of 47 from lobar pneumonia.
