Oh man, Diddy sure does live up to his “player” image. doesn’t he!
Last night, Diddy was the perfect family man, hosting a New Year’s Eve party at his home in South Beach with his on again/off again girlfriend Kim Porter. The two have three children together and have been an item so long that we’re sure they qualify as a common law marriage! Diddy and Kim co-hosted the shin-dig together, along with their twin daughters and son.
Unfortunately for Kim, Diddy was busy sending tweets to his rumored girlfriend Cassie. Diddy tweeted @officialcas happy new year baby girl!!!!! 🙂 2012
Back on December 27, poor Cassie tweeted “Love is too complicated for me.” She did not respond to Diddy’s tweet. Wonder if this marks the end for the not-so-undercover lovers?
So much for those Dollicia Bryant rumors! Last night, Drake was spotted ringing in the New Year with his ex, Zineb aka Nebby. For those who don’t know, Nebby was Drake’s self-proclaimed first love, and the woman who inspired his break out hit, “Best I Ever Had”. The two were all hugged up on the Nivea Stage after Drake’s performance on Carson Daily’s NYE special. Check out the photo below.

Drake has also name dropped her in a few of his songs, including “Look What You’ve Done”, where he raps, ‘It’s like ’09 in your basement and I’m in love with Nebby / And I still love her but it fell through because I wasn’t ready‘.
True love never dies! We’d rather see Drake with his first love before a video vixen and industry jump off any day. Nubby, do what you gotta do, girl!
