He said: ‘We’re really focused on our plan after this. Taking time to really ask the girls and ask the kids really what they want to do.

‘We formed a company called Combs Cartel, which is our family business and a lot of their projects will go underneath that.

‘But, we’re trying to really just plan and see what we want to take to the next step as a family. Because losing Kim and now being a single father-of-six, my thinking had to change.

‘I had to really get focused on their futures, ’cause I know how rough it is out there.’

The billionaire star added that his children were excited to be part of the family business, saying: ‘They’re now ready to step up and be leaders and so it’s really about that,

‘It’s really about what are the goals we’re going to set for what we’re going to do to come out of this better and stronger.

‘And have more of an impact and change the narrative of the black family and the black man and woman globally as being fearless, and being intelligent and also not taking no shorts.

‘Getting what we deserve and doing positive things with our power.’

Kim was Diddy’s on-off girlfriend for several years, with the pair dating from around 1994 to 2007.

Three days before her tragic passing, Diddy revealed Kim had been sick with the flu and ‘sent the kids over to my house so they wouldn’t get sick.’

‘Every time Kim and I talked, it was about the kids,’ Combs said. ‘It was what she cared about the most.
