According to the Daily News' Rush and Molloy section, Diddy is now stepping up and taking responsibility for his fifth child (although if you count Kim Porter's son by R&B singer Al B. Sure, Quincy, that makes it six for Daddy Diddy). Until recently he'd been denying that he was the father of the now fifteen-month old babygirl, Chance. Apparently he wanted to know the results of the paternity tests before he confessed to anything (gold star for you, Puff).

"At first, I wasn't sure if this was my child," he told the Daily News. "Now that it has become clear she is, I will take care of her for the rest of her life."

Way to step up there, Diddy. And we're sure your third baby mama, 34 year-old Atlanta resident Sarah Chapman, is ecstatic about the news. And why wouldn't she be? Go ahead, kick your feet up. No more late nights working at the Waffle House for you, my dear. Time to live it up!
