A resurfaced video of Diddy introducing his “adopted” daughter has folks concerned for the girls’ well-being in the wake of Diddy’s arrest and indictment … but we’ve learned he was never her father, despite his claims.
Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ … Diddy never legally adopted the little girl, Ava, from the 2020 video, despite claiming on Instagram Live he adopted herm because he wanted her to have a “Black parent.”
The footage seems relevant, especially in the wake of all the sex trafficking allegations against Diddy, but our sources say the whole thing was a skit and has been overblown by concerned fans.
In the video, Diddy gives Ava a kiss on the cheek and says he adopted her with her mother’s permission … and she tells a story about how she was “on the streets” before “Papa Combs decided that he was going to be a caring man.”
We’re told Ava has known Diddy and Kim Porter‘s teenage twin daughters, D’Lila and Jessie, since they were all little … and she has her own real parents who are caring for her.
Our sources say Ava’s parents were friends with Kim and she remains close with D’Lila and Jessie … but Diddy’s never had a parental role with her, legally or otherwise, and he hasn’t been in her life recently, with her family keeping their distance from him.
