Combs Will Appeal Child Support Order

May 24, 2005 – Sean "P. Diddy" Combs has been ordered to pay child support, in which could amount to the largest in New York State history, and he says he will appeal.

Last month, the New York State Supreme Court's Appellate Division approved a increase in child support, Combs in which would pay $21,782 per month to his ex-girlfriend, Misa Hylton-Brim. Representatives of both Combs and Hylton-Brim say it's the highest child support payment in state history.

The Bad Boy Executive in published reports, said it was a attack on his character, and plans to appeal.

"It's not about money. I don't care how much money I have," he said. "If you come at me and say I don't take care of my child, I'm going to take care of that to the end."

In addition, to the current $5,000 a month child support, Combs says he also pays for his 11-year-old son Justin's health insurance, tuition, vacations, clothes and other items, for a total of about $120,000 per year.

Currently P. Diddy also pays child support to his girlfriend, Kim Porter, the mother of his second child, Christian, who went to court seeking more money when they were estranged.

However, P. Diddy said reports that he pays Porter about $30,000 a month were untrue. "She gets $12,000 a month. (But) she pays for everything" including health care, he said.

Combs although said Hylton-Brim claims were driven by "greed," he said their relationship is good. "I've forgiven her on it, but I'm not going to let up on it."
