OK, it's official: Diddy is married to Kim Porter. Well, maybe he's not. All of this seems confusing at this point. According to the New York Daily News, hip hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs announced on Twitter last night that he was married to long-time girlfriend Kim Porter. Then, Diddy got back onto Twitter and said that the rumors aren't true.

The problem is that there were a long list of celebs that allegedly landed at St. Bart's (where the incident was set to have occurred) for New Years, including Jay-Z and Beyonce, Oprah, Denzel Washington and a few others. My conclusion? Diddy may have done this for a publicity stunt - I am sure there is a great deal of PR capital to be gained by getting the world to spend all their time guessing whether or not you got married. But at this point, no one knows what's going on.

Early in the New Year (roughly 3:30 am), Diddy sent out this on Twitter: "Juat [sic] married!" he tweeted at about 3:30 am this morning on twitter. Two hours later, he sent out a conflicting message: "No I didn't get married !!!!! Pls stop asking!!!"

Here is the most recent AOL Black Voices article we wrote about Diddy's alleged plan to tie the knot last night at midnight. In the article, I provide some perspectives that Diddy might consider when it comes to the act of good Financial Lovemaking. Men like Sean Combs have worked their entire lives to build wealth, so when a man gets married at the age of 40 after earning so much money, there are many complex factors that must be considered. It'll be interesting to see how this ends.
