King Combs Honors Kim Porter With Emotional New Visual

A powerful reflection from 'NEVER STOP', produced by Kanye West

King Combs delivers one of his most personal artistic statements with the release of the new video for “Kim,” a standout from his latest project NEVER STOP, produced by Kanye West. Released in remembrance of November 15, the day his mother Kim Porter passed in 2018, the visual taps into the emotional weight of loss, legacy, and healing. In true Hype fashion, this happening captures a moment where music and personal truth meet.

A Visual Rooted in Memory and Emotion

The video opens with Combs running alone down an empty road under the night sky, symbolizing the long path of grief and understanding. He sits in quiet moments of reflection, grounding the visual in vulnerability. Scenes with his twin sisters highlight the family bond that continues to guide him as he processes life without their mother.

Layered Storytelling Through the Lens of Family

Interwoven throughout the visual are reimagined scenes from Combs’ childhood and his family’s past. Actors portray Kim Porter as a young woman, alongside scenes of Combs as a joyful child and moments from when she was pregnant with his twin sisters. These snapshots build a layered timeline that honors her life while exploring the emotional journey shaped by her absence.

A Moment of Vulnerability in His Music

Combs reveals how his mother’s passing affected his mental health and sense of responsibility within the family. It results in one of his most introspective and heartfelt performances to date, centered around the powerful refrain: “Kim, I love you mama, things ain’t been the same here without you mama. Since the day I lost you, I feel like I lost it, mama.” The record stands at the intersection of grief and creativity, offering a tribute built on honesty and love.
