Twin girls for rap star P Diddy

Combs already has two children

US rapper P Diddy has become the father of twins after his partner Kim Porter gave birth to two girls in New York.

The 37-year-old flew to a hospital in Manhattan from Toronto where he had been filming movie Raisin in the Sun.

Publicist Robert Zimmerman said he had made it to Porter's bedside "just in the nick of time for the delivery".

The older twin was named D'Lila Star, and the younger daughter was given the name Jessie James. "Both Kim and the girls are doing great," Zimmerman said.

Both children were named after their great-grandmothers.

The Grammy-winning rap star - real name Sean Combs - already has a son, Christian, with Porter.

He also has a son called Justin, with ex-girlfriend Misa Hylton-Brim.
