COLUMBUS, GEORGIA: Kim Porter's father, Jake Porter, has opened up on rumors surrounding his daughter's death and her relationship with Sean 'Diddy' Combs following the music mogul's recent arrest in New York.

Jake, 78, told Daily Mail, "The truth will come out. It always does in the end." Porter was deeply connected to Sean 'Diddy' whom the family once regarded as her "soulmate."

There are theories that Porter's 2018 death at 47, although announced as natural due to 'lobar pneumonia', was not a complete story. The theories cite a controversial memoir titled 'Kim's Lost Words: A journey for justice, from the other side…' Besides, singer Al B Sure! has also called for investigation into Porter's death.
