Loves past and present inspire Diddy lyrics

P Diddy has admitted that his pregnant girlfriend Kim Porter and high-profile ex-squeeze Jennifer Lopez both provided inspiration for songs on his new album Press Play.

"It's probably my most personal record," the 35-year-old announced at the launch of a new online music store in New York.

He admitted he didn't do a whole lot of writing on his other albums but on this one he exposed himself with everybody's most sensitive subject: the subject of love.

Asked whether his famous past love J-Lo, whom he dated for two years before their 2001 break-up, featured on the record, Diddy, replied: "I've been blessed to go out with a couple of great women and she was one of the great ones."

It looks like we can safely assume that the other "great" woman in his life is his current girlfriend Kim Porter, who's expecting twins with the rap mogul at the end of the year.

"The relationship that gave me the most inspiration was the relationship with Kim," he confirmed.

But despite being happy with his new love, the hip-hop mogul admits he still talks to J-Lo, saying: "Yeah. We're ex-boyfriend and girlfriend and that's cool. It's a positive thing."
