Kim Porter’s funeral was held on Saturday (November 24) in her hometown of Columbus, Georgia. Between 1,000 and 1,500 people attended the service, including Diddy — her ex and biological father of three of her children — Lil Kim, Mary J. Blige, Faith Evans, Stevie J, Kandi Burruss, Kimora Lee Simmons and Tichina Arnold.
Evans performed “His Eye Is on the Sparrow” and Yolanda Adams sang “Just a Prayer Away” during the ceremony.
According to TMZ, Diddy was one of the few who delivered a eulogy in Porter’s honor. Blige, Dallas Austin, Bishop Noel Jones, and Porter’s son Quincy Brown also shared a few words about Porter.

“For the last three days I’ve been trying to wake up out of this nightmare,” he wrote last week. “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.
“We were more than best friends, we were more than soulmates. WE WERE SOME OTHER SHIT!! And I miss you so much. Super Black Love.”
