FIRST PICTURES OF CHANCE CHAPMAN COMBS(P. DIDDY’S FIRST DAUGHTER)

Monday, Oct 13 , 2008 2:39:pm by blackcelebritykids FILED UNDER P.Diddy

Several Photographers(Calvin Evans,FreddyO,ExclusiveAccess.net), got a chance to take the first exclusive pictures of mogul Sean ” P. Diddy” Combs’ daughter Chance Combs,who attended her father’s fashion show in Atlanta on Thursday. Up until these pictures were released, no one had seen P.Diddy’s daughter by Atlanta native Sarah Chapman . In fact, it wasn’t till last year October that P. Diddy took responsibility for his two-year-old daughter that he created while in a serious relationship with his on-and-off girlfriend Kim Porter. Diddy released this statement back in 2007 regarding Chance:

“At first, I wasn’t sure if this was my child,” he said. “Now that it has become clear she is, I will take care of her for the rest of her life.(SOURCE)

In all, Sean Diddy Combs has six children: He fathered three children with former girlfriend Kim Porter:Christian Combs(born April 1998) and twins D’Lila Star Combs and Jesse James(born December 2006). He has an adopted son from Kim Porter’s previous relationship Al B Sure named Quincy Jones Brown(born December 1991.) In addition,Diddy has a son from a previous relationship with his high school sweetheart Misa Hylton named Justin Combs (born December 1993). Chance Combs is P. Diddy’s first daughter who should be about 27 months now. She is older than the twins by three or four months. The twins will be 24 months(two years old) on December 21st.

    I saw that too! I think the mother needs to get a gripe. Modeling is bad for kids. If she can’t take the rejection that the modeling industry gives you then she needs to get out of the business! I am sure Sean did not make the decision to reject the lil fella.

    @Nessa Oh please be lying just for some attention. You really believe White men are better and don’t have a bunch of kids ??? Ever heard of K-Fed ? I hope you are seeing a therapist so you can learn to love yourself.
    P.S. No matter how white your man is, you will NEVER be. Even if you had Michael Jackson’s “skin disorder”.

    @Blue So what you’re saying is you have nothing to contribute. Keep it moving wanna be know-it-all.

    Chance is a beautiful child……she has gorgeous eyes! :-)

    And Diddy needs to get “snipped”–seriously!!! Having all those kids w/ so many different women is terrible behaviour. It’s ridiculous & sad. While he may be able to take care of all their monetary/material needs, children need so much more! Mostly time, love & attention. And they need it EVERY DAY, not just every other weekend or every once in a while. Unless they all live together in one big house, all those children aren’t getting it from him.

    Also, about the mixed race child model that was denied the job—if it’s true he only wants dark-skinned black models then why even bother w/ adding a couple of whites into it? He should tell the modeling agencies what type of people he wants and not get anybody’s hopes up that he knows he will not want in the first place.

    Ok Nessa, I have to say you from reading your post, you clearly have some unresolved issues. They have just as many if not more white men that have babies with lots of women.

    You are clearly misguided. My husband only has four kids and they are all with me. I second the whole K-fed thing not to mention he was with a black girl not much different than your situation. My husband has two brothers all married and only have babies with their wives, and they are all black. His parents have been together for over 30 years and if you see them you would think they just fell in love. They are my inspiration and I know because of the good example they set for the sons’ that my husband and I will continue to have a great relationship from here on out. He is as black as me. I go out with my friends more than he does. He likes to be with me and the kids as much as he can. However I on the other hand after staying home with kids all day need a break from time to time.

    The color of someone’s skin doesn’t determine happiness . No more so than have a huge bank account. If that were the case all white people would be rich and happy, yet they have as many problems as the next man. They may not be the same kind of problems, but problems all the same.

    Just so you know they have ghetto white people. They just have different names. They are called trailer trash. Happiness comes with accepting yourself the way the lord made you.

    No one person is better than the other. The only difference in a white person and a black person in a strand of DNA the contains billions of chromosomes is 1. One chromosomes. If being fair of skin was better than why are lighter skin people more at risk for skin cancer. To me that doesn’t equal superior. It just means different. For better or worse we are all here together. We are all different and different doesn’t mean better or worse, just different. Variety is the spice of life. If we were all the same the world would be a very boring place indeed.

    So what he didn’t pick that child, like someone wrote earlier, blacks don’t get pick for alot of things, but when a white or bi-racial person is denied something it’s all hell. It probably didn’t have anything to do with race anyway, how many models get rejected before they make it.

We must love, defend, and demand our people have the same rights regardless of their shade, the black family must stop being divided.

    Its Diddy’s damn company and he has the right to pick and choose whoever he wants to model his clothing. When everyone gets their own label, then you can choose who you want until then, give it a rest. So what he didnt pick the little boy. what about all the other white designers that dont choose brown people to be in their shows.

    All I have to say about the whole modeling incident is this. No matter the reason he didn’t get pick. No one model gets pick for every job. If he can’t handle being rejected then maybe he should do something else. It’s a part of life, he may as well get used to it. No one person get everything they want. God doesn’t give us everything we want because what we want is not always what we need. How many times have you wanted something and then got it only to realize that it is not all it’s cracked up to be. If his mom it stirring up trouble instead of using this situation as a valuable lesson for her son. I say she is using it more for her on purposes than anything else. Getting picked does not make you any more than not getting picked any less. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and maybe he didn’t fit the criteria they wanted. That is not a reflection of him just a matter of a difference in opinion.

    If anyone is trying to make it out to be more than that it is due to their own insecurities. I wanted to model and tried out a few times but because I am only 5’4.5 I didn’t get picked I didn’t take it personally. I can’t change my height, so I figured that if the Lord wanted me to be a model he would have made me 3.5″ inches taller.

    I saw the picture of the kid on Fox and he is real cute. His name is Christopher something. I think he was so cute that his looks would have been distracting. People forget that sometimes the most beautiful people are not always chosen for this reason. He suppose to model for Macy’s so I don’t think unattractive looks was the issue. I agree that Sean should have used all the kids as well as the average looking ones I saw on another photo blog.

  • Maryamb October 14, 2008 at 2:34 pm

    I have to say one more thing about the whole modeling incident. If you have seen have Head of State with Chris Rock you would know exactly what Fox news is doing. We need to wake up. It is called divided and conquer. If we start letting the shade of someone skin become and issue it will always be one. If you raise above the color of someone’s skin you will see the big picture.

    We as black people don’t have all the chances to succeed, as whites because they look out for one another while we have this whole crab in the barrel thing going for us. Yet when we get a chance we have our Obamas.

    They know if we are distracted with dumb mundane things we would never see what we a really capable of doing and then being average for them would no longer good enough. Blacks have to be the best of, to make it, While we have a C average White man for president. And an even dumper trying to replace him and with a dumb sidekick to boot.

    Do you know when Barack becomes President that it will make so many people see the whole skin color lie for what it is? That is why we are seeing all these distractions. Don’t get it twisted FOX news is very basis. They clearly support McCain for president. They would rather see a dumb white, old sickly man and his dumb sidekick be elected than a smart black man. P Diddy is supporting Obama if you get enough black people angry because he said a little boy wasn’t black enough then they win.

    We have to stop falling for the okey doke. We are better than that. You just have to believe that.

    How was he wrong? The man is running a business. He made a business decision to target a specific group of people and felt like the young man wasn’t part of the group he was marketing to.In business you have to have a target market for your product or else you won’t have direction to make a marketing strategy. It is nothing personal. At the end of the day the man is trying to run a business. Nothing more, nothing less.

    You can see the insecurities in all the comment of the people who feel the child was wrong, or who feels it’s about time darker people are getting a chance. If that turned that focus inward they could have all Diddy has and more.

  • shesh1nes October 14, 2008 at 6:34 pm

    The model industry isn’t really about being fair and equal. It about wanting a certain look and style to go down that runway. The majority of women wear a size 12 or larger. Models are 1,2 and smaller if possible. The same thing goes for Diddy. He wants a certain look. Period. The parent shouldn’t get her child into the biz if she is worried about how the rejection will affect him. Rejection is the name of the game in the entertainment business…I’m not sayin that it wouldn’t be great for Diddy to have a range of brown skinned models, but shouldn’t we be happy that he IS employing black models 1st over all others???

    sheshines I could not agree with you more. It is all apart of the entertainment industry. It is not about being nice, mean, fair or unfair it is about the look they are trying to portray. You have celebs talking all the time about their bad experiences trying out for different things. So if she and her son or taking it so personally they need to get out of the entertainment business. Why do you think so many of the celebs have drug and alcohol problems? It’s how they cope with the harshness of their business. They may get paid a ton of money, but is it worth the cost of their self worth? All this is something a parent needs to consider when they start thinking of putting their child in the entertainment business.

    Black people need to be more sensitive since we have been treated badly because of our color. Hell, Barack is black too…anybody sayin he can represent us cause he is 1/2 black and 1/2 white? Hell no so Diddy needs to give every kid of color a chance. He should call up that kid and give him work to make it up.

    Since most of us in this forum is probably brown we could care less that a lighty got past over since many of us darker folk can be jealous sometime since they do get over more opts…come on!!! If it were a blue berry black girl turn away for the job cause she was real black…had knotty hair and big lips ya’ll would be SCREAMIN AND YA KNOWS IT!

    Puffy’s behavior is exactly why parents of mixed race children have it hard (see Karen Parson’s posts). Some of you sound so clueless on here. I won’t even name names. This goes beyond the entertainment industry, business as usual bs, this has to do with how black people perceive other black people who are mixed race. Some of you on here who see no problem with Diddy’s actions are the same fools who commented that Karen Parsons (and other mixed raced people) created her own issues by not embracing her blackness.

    Puffy’s behavior really makes me want to open up a boutique, advertise in a major way and promote mixed beauty. I wonder how many of yall fools who think Puffy’s actions were ok would have a problem with that.

    John Perry I have to say I don’t want any of my kids shucking and jiving for anyone’s entertainment. The industry always targets young impressionable kids and have them sing songs and do dances that aid in our demise. Saying things like a need a solider and do your pants hang low? Destiny’s child were teenagers and so are Chris Brown and Rhinna, Monica, Brandy and many more. Then you have people like India Aire. and Jill Scott who’s music is insprational but they get no where near a much air time as the songs that lack substance. Back in the day our music and leaders had a message of hope. Now all we have is a bunch of lambs leading the lambs to slaughter. Hell even Tupac as crazy as he was still spoke on us keeping our heads up. I take care of a little girl that is half Spanish and half black everyday like she is my own child. I don’t get paid to do it I wasn’t even asked to do, I do it because she needs it. If not for my husband and I the child would be at home by herself 4 two hours. She comes over in the morning and then after school and stays most days until around 6 0r 7. She eats our food and we take care of her like she is one of ours. The Lord blessed us to be able to be a blessing to others.

    Skin color, race, and petty things like this mean nothing to me. I don’t think Karen Parsons created her own issues by not accepting one race over the other. She created her problems by not accepting herself as she is. She shouldn’t have to choose. She is who she is. She shouldn’t have to be anything other than that to be accepted. If people make her or anyone feel that way then they are not worth being around any way. So later for them.

    That is just my two cents. Being you should be good enough. No one can make you feel less than what you are without your permission.

    I forgot to mention the little girl is only 9. I know I said this before, but when I was a little girl I noticed that my mom’s skin was lighter than mine and I asked her why and she said it doesn’t matter and from then on out skin color didn’t matter to me.

    It is about the way people treat you not their color or status. I have been around poor and rich people alike and I have to say. At the end of the day no matter how little or how much you have, your crap still stank just like anyone else’s, they have to put their pants on one leg at a time just like everyone else and I say if you spend hundreds of dollars on a pair of shoes and they can’t help you fly or get somewhere faster than someone wearing a $40.00 pair of shoes you are the fool. The only way I would even consider buying shoes that cost so much money is if they gave me some kind of super power.

    See what the celebs don’t tell the people who try to emulate them by spending all of their hard earned money is that most of the things they have and wear they get from the designers for free just for endorsing their products just because they know they can count on all the lambs to follow them and more than make up for their loss.

  • Question October 14, 2008 at 10:17 pm

    Karen parsons actually looks black and I would have no idea she wasn’t unless she told me.
    The simple fact of the matter is, if Sean John is looking for a simple ethnic look, and say Pebbles (the singer) doesn’t fit it, then I have no issue with that. Why? Well because it’s obvious that Diddy doesn’t discriminate when it comes to race and ethnicty for his ads. MANY of his ads feature biracial and or white people, so someone is obviously reaching to call it discrimination. For that particular casting call, the young man didn’t fit the description. So what? Have you see a Diddy fashion show? He has tons of biracial people.

    he’s not a God but racist? Give me a break.

  • Question October 14, 2008 at 10:22 pm

    In case you missed a picture of Justin, he looks mixed and he’s featured in MANTY Diddy ads.

    What is color, except what one looks like. It’s a social construct anyways, so no I don’t want to hear anyone’s story when they’re exaggerating. The reason black people play violins when they hear biraical people talk about putting up with discrimination from others blacks is because ALL black people experience this. It’s wrong but it’s not unique for mixed people. If you were light, who was the first person to point this out to you? I bet it was a black person. If you were dark, who was the first person to point this out to tyou? I bet it was a black person. When all people of color begin to recognize color and ethnicity is not unique to their experience, then the better we will all be. Then perhaps we can tackle the stupidity behind pointing out color amongst each other.

    Actually John Perry just so you know I am a married mother of 4 kids ages 9,8,4, and 1 will be 3 next month. All of whom are for my husband to which I have been married for almost 10 years. I stay at home and take care of my house and family. As far a Puffy goes why would I sacrifice everything I have a wonderful loving husband who works to care of our family at a job where makes good enough money to afford to take care of our four kids and I don’t have to, He is with me most of the time because he works from home so we can be here for our children. We have a beautiful house, great friends, and neighbors and my man has been with me and only me for over 11 years and I have only been with him. In short just because Puffy has more money doesn’t make him a better choice.

    I not only have to much self respect to be anyone’s babies mommas, but to much to get into a battles of wits with the likes of you.

    As far as me having something better to do with my time, I believe and if anyone else agrees with me feel free to say so. That by trying to pass on what I have learned to my people who want to know more than about being ghetto fabulous I am doing something valuable with my time.

    You clearly are not there yet. There is nothing arrogant about what I’ve said. I know we are very capable of doing more than being entertainment for others. A black man was the first man to do open heart surgery. The first black woman became a millionaire by inventing hair products for her people, a black man invented over 300 products with yams and peanuts, we even have a black man about to be president of the United States. We have so much potential to do wonderful things yet you seem to think we need someone to give us handouts to be able to be anything in this world. You are selling yourself and our people short. My husband was inspired by his uncle who is a VP for IBM(who is black). If you think the only we can come up is to be in entertainment you are truly misguided. This is the reason I don’t want my kids to shuck and jive for anyone. I want my daughter’s to be whatever they want to be. Maybe the will grow up and show Palin what a smart women should look like in the White house.

    So no I don’t have a trifling job, but a very important one. I do what the lord put me here to do. Take care of my family and minister to people who want more for themselves then just being someone’s gofer. If my kids were to have anything to do with the entertainment industry it will likely be the owner/operator of one. You know the one that writes the checks for the people that want to shuck and jive. They are after all the ones who make the real money. Just a little food for thought.

    Maryamb sometimes you sound so full of yourself. It’s rediculous that you put a whole industry down just because it doesn’t fit your standards of what’s right. Some people would argue that you should learn to be financially independent and have a life outside of diaper-land and the kitchen. But wouldn’t that be judgemental? So, why look down on people who entertain for a living? You really need to check yourself sis.

I don’t look down on the industry. I think Jill Scott and India Aire among others are inspirational. When I say shucking and jiving I meant the people who are aiding in the moral demise. It is a difference.

    I wonder how many other modeling jobs this child didn’t get. Did the mother speak about those instances during her interview as well? I doubt it. She’s looking for publicity. If a child doesn’t fit well with the designers idea…guess what. It is his show. Some of your comments are written as if this was the “only” child that didn’t get the job. There were probably others that weren’t chosen and I’m sure some of them might have been dark children as well. Is it reasonable to think that he or his staff hire EVERY child that shows up to audition. And as someone made a comment about opening a boutique and only using mixed race children, people like what they like and are entitled to it. I recently started visiting this site and it just seems like an underlying sentiment of “mixed is better”. No one is better people are just people. How could you be better than something that is a part of you. Light, mixed, dark whatever. I am amazed that so many express a need to feel superior to someone else. Wow!
