Kim Porter’s best friend, Eboni Elektra, has stayed silent about Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal troubles — until now.
The 54-year-old broke her silence via Instagram Wednesday after the rapper’s mixed verdict was revealed.
The Grammy winner, notably, was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering.

“PRAISE GOD❤️❤️❤️❤️,” Elektra captioned a close-up photo of Combs’ face. “🙏🏿OPINIONS ….we are all entitled to them. 🙏🏿MISTAKES… we all make them. 🙏🏿JUDGING… we all do it. 🙏🏿GOSSIP …. we are all guilty of it.
“🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿GOD’S WILL… is higher than any opinion , mistake, judgement, or gossip,” she continued. “If this is God’s will for Puff / diddy , than that’s His will. In the end, what we think does not compare to His will.”
Elektra concluded by asking, “WHO ARE WE TO JUDGE??? That’s God’s job. It’s all in His hands. U never know. #isallintheword#readyourbible 💫💫💫💫 … my opinion❤️.”

T.I.’s wife, Tameka “Tiny” Harris supported Elektra in the comments, defending “being freaky.”
Many social media users, however, blasted Elektra’s reaction, calling her a “clown.”
One claimed, “Poor Kim it’s becoming very apparent she had no REAL friends,” while another added, “You haven’t made not one comment about this until now. Really should’ve kept it that way, but hey.”
A third pointed out that Combs’ on-again, off-again ex-girlfriend Cassie — who testified in Combs’ six-week trial about the alleged rape and physical abuse she endured during their relationship — follows Elektra and may have seen the “sick” post.

Cassie, 38, dated the Bad Boy Records founder between 2007 and 2018.
Porter, for her part, was romantically linked to Combs from 1994 to 2007, and the duo shared four kids — Quincy, 34, Christian “King,” 27, and twins D’Lila and Jessie, 18.
Combs, notably, is also the father of Justin, 31, Chance, 18, and Love, 2.

Five years later, Combs’ legal battle kicked off when Cassie sued him in a bombshell lawsuit, which he quickly settled for $20 million.
The dancer’s claims, as well as a 2016 video that surfaced of Combs beating Cassie in a hotel, led many to speculate about his dynamic with Porter — including the late model’s “disgusted” dad.
“I didn’t know he could stoop that low,” Jake Porter told Rolling Stone last year, saying it gave him a “different outlook” that made him “wonder” about Combs.
The record executive was arrested in September 2024 following headline-making raids on his homes, with his federal court case beginning in May.

Combs is facing up to 20 years in prison.
He was denied bail on Wednesday due to a “disregard for the rule of law and a propensity of violence.”
Combs’ sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 3.
