King Combs Shares New Video for Kim Porter Tribute Track Produced by Ye: ‘I Know You’re in Heaven’

Diddy‘s son King Combs has dropped a new video for his new song “Kim,” which honors his late mother Kim Porter and is produced by Ye.

The two-minute, Kaito-directed visual dropped on Sunday (Nov. 16) and contains haunting clips of King Combs crying, holding a rifle and painfully running in slow motion, among other recreative visual flashes of Combs as a child. All the while, Combs spits a few bars in a distorted baritone about his late mother’s passing.

“Kim, I love you, mama. Things ain’t been the same here without you, mama,” Combs spits. In a heartfelt post on Instagram, Combs said he wanted to “honor” his mother’s memory with his new video.

“I miss you so much, Mommy,” he wrote. “Not a day goes by that I don’t feel your love watching over us. Today will forever mean something deeper, and I wanted to honor you with this video. I know you’re in Heaven, proud of everything we’re becoming. I love you forever.”

The new visual comes after Ye and Puff’s son dropped their Never Stop EP back in June. Ye served as executive producer, and North West — his eldest daughter with ex-wife Kim Kardashian — is featured on the song “Lonely Roads.” Another track that gained attention was “Diddy Free,” which includes the chorus, “N—as ain’t goin to sleep ’till we see Diddy free.”

In an interview with Billboard about the EP, Combs reflected on how Ye reached out to him during his father’s criminal trial, which concluded with Diddy being sentenced to over four years in prison for prostitution-related crimes and said the embattled rapper had reached out during “probably the worst times in my life.”

“He reached out to lend support and we talked about a Sean John collab,” Combs explained. “A lot of people may not know, we’ve been was gonna do a Sean John collab. Then we were gonna work on some music and stuff, but we never got a chance to. So, we started talking about the Sean John collab and he said he wanted to do a five-song EP with me. And then from there, I was like, ‘Yo, it’s no brainer, of course.; And we just made it happen.”
