Combs spoke at the funeral about his emotional bond with Porter, who was the mother of three of his children.
“She was my friend first. She was my confidante. She was like my guidance, still is,” he said, according to The Blast.
“We fell in love and honestly, her love was too much for me to handle. It was a lot to handle, to take in,” he added.
