People magazine states that Misa Hylton and Diddy were romantically linked during the 90s. The duo became the parents of a son named Justin in 1993 but split shortly since Diddy was not reportedly willing to let the relationship intervene in any way in his successful career.

Also known as Sean Love Combs, he posted a video on his social media page at the time as part of promotions for DeLeon Tequila and wrote, "sometimes you have to say, 'f*ck everybody.'" Misa wrote below the post that she felt the same and Sean replied by saying:

"I love you queen. Stay in the light."

Misa Hylton has two more children from her second marriage to record executive JoJo Brim. Her first child, Justin, has pursued a career on television and featured on shows such as Power Book II: Ghost.

Misa's second son Niko is slowly establishing himself in the world of rapping and the same can be said for her daughter Madison. While Justin is a graduate of the University of California, Madison acquired her degree at Howard University.
