Kim Porter died in 2018 at the age of 47 after battling pneumonia. Her death left a vacuum in the lives of her children and those close to her. With Sean Diddy Combs, she had a son, Christian, and twin daughters, Jessie and D’Lila. She also had a son, Quincy Brown, from her previous relationship with singer Al B. Sure.

Porter’s other children also honored her on December 15, Jessie and D’Lila, shared a throwback photo of themselves with their mother, reflecting on how much they miss her and the comfort they feel knowing she is still watching over them. Her son, Quincy Brown, also posted the same day, sharing a photo and expressing gratitude for the strength she instilled in him.

Kim was from Columbus, Georgia, and began modeling as a teenager. After graduating from Columbus High School in 1988, she moved to Atlanta to further her modeling career. Over the years, she has appeared in several films and TV series, including The Brothers, Wicked Wicked Games, Single Ladies, and Mama, I Want to Sing. She was also an artist and has appeared in a number of music videos.

She was one of the founders of Three Brown Girls, a lifestyle planning company based in Atlanta, alongside friends Nicole Cooke-Johnson and Eboni Elektra. Through the company, she helped start singer Janelle Monáe’s music career, after inviting her to an open mic night and introducing her to industry contacts, an impact Monáe has publicly acknowledged.

Kim Porter was a devoted mother whose impact continues to live on through her children. The way they remember her shows that her love and guidance still remain with them.

Simi’s appearance in Adekunle Gold’s latest music video, My Love Is The Same, has quietly confirmed that the couple are expecting their second child. The singer is seen with a visible baby bump, revealed without announcement or spectacle, allowing the moment to sit naturally within the story the video is telling.

Shot as an intimate portrait of family life, the video shows Adekunle Gold alongside Simi and their daughter, Deja, in a series of composed, domestic scenes. The pregnancy reveal feels intentional yet unforced, positioned as part of the couple’s growing family narrative rather than a headline-seeking moment.

The choice to share the news through a music video shows the couple’s long-standing preference for control and discretion when it comes to their private lives. By folding a personal milestone into a creative project, they maintain authorship over how the story is told, on their own terms.

Tems’ appearance on match night for San Diego FC felt like the natural extension of a partnership that has been gaining momentum since she joined the club’s ownership group earlier this year. Her presence inside Snapdragon Stadium wasn’t a symbolic cameo; it marked a deeper involvement in a project that blends sport, culture, and long-term vision. Through The Leading Vibe, she became part of the select group shaping the direction of the MLS expansion club, aligning with San Diego FC’s ambition to build a team defined not only by football but by community and creative influence.

The club has described her partnership as a cultural pillar within its broader mission, strengthening its connection to diverse audiences while reinforcing a commitment to talent development. Tems expressed similar sentiments when the partnership was first announced, emphasising shared values around community, creativity, and the power of meaningful investment. Her role also connects with the club’s affiliation with the Right to Dream initiative, an academy widely respected for nurturing young players and expanding opportunities across continents. That context explains why her match-night appearance drew significant attention; it wasn’t just about opening the game, it was a visible affirmation of her growing stake in the project.

Images and fan-captured clips from the match placed her at the heart of pre-game activity, engaging with supporters and club executives and contributing to the atmosphere surrounding San Diego FC’s inaugural season. With the club already drawing large crowds, delivering early surprises on the pitch, and attracting intense media interest, her presence elevated the moment. It made clear that her involvement goes beyond name recognition and sits within the club’s broader strategy to integrate culture into its identity.

This move into football ownership adds another chapter to a career defined by intentional expansion. Tems stands alongside a rising wave of global creatives investing in sport, yet her role carries a particular resonance. She brings a creative voice with global reach into a space where community identity is shaped weekly, offering room for new intersections between music, storytelling, youth development, and sport. For San Diego FC, the partnership strengthens its positioning as a club that understands the cultural landscape it hopes to shape.

What unfolds next will define the legacy of this collaboration. Should her role extend into programs, youth initiatives, or cross-continental exchanges linked to Right to Dream, it could become a standout example of how culture and sport can work together to create real pathways. For now, her match-opening appearance stands as an early marker of intent, signalling a partnership built on more than visuals and setting the stage for what could become one of the season’s most interesting off-pitch narratives.
