Diddy responds after his 'girlfriend' is called a 'side chick' following birthday of his daughter with another woman

Diddy has hit back at claims his girlfriend, rapper Yung Miami, is his 'side chick' after he welcomed a child with a different woman.

The rapper, real name Sean Combs, put an end to the rumours after DJ Akademiks called the 'City Girl' rapper a ‘side chick’.

It all began when Diddy, 53, surprised the world by announcing the birth of his newborn daughter, Love Sean Combs.

The media mogul and music producer didn’t confirm the identity of the mother in his tweet. He has been publicly dating Yung Miami, real name Caresha Brownlee, 28.

Following the birth announcement, media personality DJ Akademiks, real name Livingstone Allen took to Twitter to poke fun at the rapper’s dating partners, whom he called a ‘harem of side chicks’.

“Diddy different… My N**** done f****d around and had a side baby on his harem of side chicks,” he tweeted.

“Brother Love a real 1.”

However Diddy soon set the record straight, tweeting: “@yungmiami305 is not my side chick. Never has been, never will be.

"She’s very important and special to me and I don’t play about my Shawty Wop. I don’t discuss things on the internet and I will not start today.”

The father of seven added: “So think what you want. But know that if you do something to hurt mine, I’m gonna to come to your house and we’re gonna talk about it like human beings. LOVE.”

The Grammy Award-winning artist welcomed his new daughter in October and was able to keep the pregnancy and birth a secret until he made his announcement this month.

On Friday (10 December) the the Bad Boy Records founder tweeted: "I’m so blessed to welcome my baby girl Love Sean Combs to the world,” the 'I'll Be Missing You' performer revealed on Twitter. “Mama Combs, Quincy, Justin, Christian, Chance, D’Lila, Jessie, and myself all love you so much! God is the Greatest!"

In case you didn't know, Diddy is also dad to actor Justin Dior Combs, rapper Christian Combs, who is also known as King Combs, and twin daughters, D’Lila Star and Jessie James Combs, and Chance Combs.

October was a busy month for Diddy as it was revealed he has replaced Kanye West as hip-hop's second wealthiest artist.

According to a new report by Forbes' Zack O’Malley Greenburg, the five richest hip-hop acts have had a reshuffle.

While Jay-Z continues to take the top spot as the richest artist in hip-hop - with an estimated net worth of $1.5 billion (£1.3 billion) - Diddy now takes the second spot, with a net worth of $1 billion (£861 million).
