Diddy shared an emotional post for his late father in honor of Father's Day on Instagram, Sunday. He explained that his father, Melvin Earl Combs, died when he was just three years old. In doing so, he shared a photo of the two of them together before his dad's passing.
"My father was killed when I was 3 yrs old," Diddy began. "We never got to share the moments that made me a man today but he lives in my spirit. Sometimes you can't just answer why things happen, but I definitely think the route that I went on - staying out of the streets and hitting my books and trying to be somebody - I think he played a role in that. He's gonna be on my mind a lot today. My father's name was Melvin Combs and I'm Melvin's son, Sean Combs. Happy Fathers Day Pops!"
