P Diddy: 'My Father Was A Hustler',Photo Of Him And His Dad(Melvin Combs)

MUSIC MOGUL P Diddy has opened up about the murder of his father, who was shot dead while sitting in his car in New York City at the age of 33.

Melvin Combs, a known associate of convicted drug dealer Frank Lucas, was killed when the Loving You No More hit-maker was just three-years-old, but Diddy admits his father's death had a significant affect on him.

"My father was killed when I was 3 yrs old, we never got to share the moments that made me a man today..but he lives in my spirit..now I'm ready to tell the story YOUTUBE.COM/REVOLTTV #MelvinsSon,' Diddy posted on Twitter, with a link to his new music television project, Revolt TV.

In the intimate video titled Confessions, the 43-year-old sits down in his New York City apartment to talk about the father he barely knew yet still managed to shape him.

"They say you can't miss something you never had, but that's only a little ways right. There's definitely been times as I've gotten older that I've missed my father - his presence - not being here... There's things that you would ask your father. There's also things that you would celebrate with him that would make him proud," he said.
