Diddy welcomed Justin on December 30, 1993 with ex Misa Hylton, 50, in Mount Vernon, New York.
Following his arrest, Justin’s mother Hylton appeared to react in a series of posts to her Story, as per USA Today.
‘I’m not protecting no one anymore, just my son. And ALL the children,’ she wrote.
‘The statement “a fish rots from the head down” means that, in addition to being a major contributing factor in a family or organization’s success, leadership is also the root cause of its failure and demise. The Truth shall set you free.’
‘Act BAD BAD boy I used to want to be a BAD Girl I chose to be a QUEEN Tried and true. I’m not perfect but I am INTENTIONAL,’ she went on, a reference to Diddy’s single Act Bad with the City Girls and Fabolous. ‘I should have kept my child with me,’ she added.
