To ring in the new year, Diddy got on Instagram to spread motivation to his fans who had a tough year just like he did.
In the emotional post, the Hip Hop mogul got candid and opened up in the two-minute video.
“2019 was a crazy year. It was a great year for some of us and for some of us that shit was really, really, really hard man,” he says in the opening minutes. “I want to tell everybody that went through the shift and had a hard year, dealt or is dealing with heartbreak or loss or just not knowing where they’re going. Depression, you know, the energy was real, real heavy out there.”
Diddy continues with his speech revealing he had his own bout with depression last year following the passing of Kim Porter, the mother of three of his children. “I even got affected by it, you know. 2019 was the year I honestly felt like I wanted to give up.”
But Diddy is not one to have anything keep him down. He offered a ray of hope to those who struggled this past year saying God doesn’t give any burdens to those who can’t handle them. He proceeded to comment on his own pain-staking burden saying he went through a dark depression all of 2019.
“I’m telling you this because I had so many people to help me. To help lift me up. Before we go into 2020 we need each other,” he continues. “We gotta lift each other up. Lift it up! Anytime you see somebody feeling down, lift them up! We gotta all do our part. We all going to have some good years and some bad years. But I’m ready for 2020.”
Diddy has been spreading love and going on a motivational run lately. In October, he gave out his number so fans can reach out to him for advice and receive random texts with inspirational sayings. A few weeks later he took legal action to change his name from Sean John Combs to Sean Love Combs.

oh ya diddy how rough was it? only made 70m’s this year?
Money can HELP you lead a life of happiness, but doesn’t alone do that. When your filthy rich, you can’t truly know who your closes friends are, aside from those with you before the money. I bet being really rich has a lot of negative effects on love and relationships, the main component of happiness.
Well, we’d like to think that lol.
Depression is a buzzword, diddy just getting content from this shit
He gave Cassie nightmares in 2019 and in 2020, Diddy still poking dudes. Lol. His idea of motivation would be taking an HIV test.
Get outta here u homophobe! Hiphop is liberal nowadays! Vote for democrats, and open up your mind to gay sex, transgender, queers! Maybe YOU are the queer for being straight, ever think of that?!?
Okay Juicy Smullett, don’t you have another fake hate crime to stage somewhere else…. gtfoh with that garbage lol
What does Diddy Love Balls taste like
Uhh you just used “queer” as degrading term to attack that comment while also advocating for opening up to accept “queers”. Who’s the homophobe now?
You actually said “Maybe YOU are the queer for being straight, ever think of that?!?”
I’M DEAD ??
Fuck u scam daddy
Damn, a republican war on this article…jeesh….go to Fox News some damn where that your opinions and views and jokes matter
A republican war? The fuck? I see one somewhat political comment, and it’s pro gay lol… They r right tho, hiphop is down with gays. Lots of closeted rappers, like Dr Dre.
sean love combs? come on now.
Still waiting for the day when Diddy will open about Biggie and Tupac’s deaths.
This guy has probably put up the money to have people murdered. But what a poor thing, struggling with depression.
PUFF THE BIGGEST DEVIL OUT THERE…GENE DEAL( WHO WAS BIGGIES BODYGUARD AND THERE THE NIGHT BIG DIED) ON DOGGIEDIAMONDSTV SAID ..PUFFY WAS LIKE EITHER BIGGIE OR PAC HAD TO DIE
gtfoh diddy.
How can a mf’n billionaire be depressed
Yall talking about money but he lost the mother of his children, don’t get me wrong Puffy into shady shit but even depression can hit him, probably along with the guilt he’s been holding in for like 20 yrs.
I hate puff daddy’s music but depression is real. I’ve been depressed for 26 years until i recently found the cure. Depression is no joke!
