He also revealed what he admires most about his dad.

Summer is right around the corner which means Sean "Diddy" Combs is in full Ciroc mode, promoting his brand as much as possible. The father of six has been keeping himself busy as he's continued to operate all of his successful businesses while becoming a single dad following the untimely death of his ex-girlfriend Kim Porter whom he shares three biological children.

Diddy has shared his grief and healing with the world as he has reflected on his life and relationship with Porter on social media. Even in times when critics have torn him down by calling him names or commenting unkind words, the hip hop mogul has been open about his past mistakes and taken the remarks in stride. According to Justin Combs, Diddy's 25-year-old son with Misa Hylton, his father is doing well in spite of the circumstances and is still healing from the loss of his former love.

“He’s doing fine. He’s prayed up now, and everything is good,” Justin told Us Weekly at The Remix: Hip Hop X Fashion world premiere at Tribeca Film Festival on Thursday. “He’s just healing.” The former football player also said that the family has relied on their close bond for support.“Just being with family and God, and just staying around each other" adding that he admires his father's “ability to believe and just not take ‘no’ for an answer. And just to keep recreating and innovating.”
