When it comes to the amusing and delightful aspects of parenthood, many parents share a similar wavelength. They go through parenthood mishaps that are hilariously endearing in their own way. Even celebrities have their share of entertaining parenting moments, just like any other parent. Rapper and actor Sean John Combs, who is also known by his stage name “Diddy,” recently shared a glimpse of his heartwarming father-daughter moment with little Love. In a video posted on Instagram, he perfectly captured the challenges of teaching kids the dos and don’ts.
The 53-year-old rapper, a father of seven children, welcomed Love in December 2022 and has dedicated all his time to her since then. His recent video with Love captures the duo at a park where the girl is taking her first steps as she walks towards her father, who is holding the camera. As Love takes her wobbly steps with her little feet, Diddy says, “Look at you walking. Look at you. You look like a little person.” His words of encouragement in a gentle and soft baby voice resemble every parent cheering on their children as they grow.
As Love continues to walk and explore the area, she nibbles on what appears to be a piece of fruit. Love starts picking up the pace of her walk, and her little legs cause her to stumble slightly. The little girl tumbles halfway but is fortunately unharmed. However, like other parents, Diddy knows the drill. He immediately starts laughing and cheering his daughter to ensure she doesn’t cry. The ideal parenting strategy! The rapper continues to film his daughter, who is now seen trying to pick herself up and get back on her feet. “Get up, baby, get up,” Diddy cheers.
“You can do it, you can do it,” the father says adorably as Love tries to regain her footing. In the process of mustering the strength to lift herself, the little girl drops a bit of the food she had in her hand onto the ground. “Oh, you still gonna eat that?” Diddy questions. Without further ado, Love gets back down to pick up the piece of food she dropped and amusingly puts it into her mouth. Diddy’s parenting instincts kick in, and he rushes over to stop her. “Oh, no, no, spit it out,” he says. However, that doesn’t work, and Love already gobbles up the tiny piece and continues walking like it’s nobody’s business.
“I guess she’s a tough baby,” Diddy remarks to himself. Once again, posing a reaction relatable to almost every other parent, the rapper chuckles and says, “That’s it, eat the dirty food,” to Love, who, by now, has the other piece of food in her mouth. “Daddy used to eat dirt, how do you like dirt?” Diddy asks his daughter, chuckling uncontrollably. With hundreds of thousands of views and comments, fans and fellow parents were in awe of Love and could totally relate to Diddy’s hilarious response. @myway_or_noway_ny said, “Seems like they like it the most when it’s been on the floor or the ground because when you try to take it, they go crazy on you.” @datgurlnicki said, “We all ate dirt and dirty food on the floor/ground when we were little.” @therealkeithbrougham added: “Love how that phone dropped hella quick as she putting that in her mouth…No nooo.”
