P. Diddy should have got married

P. Diddy admits the mothers of his children "deserved" to have married him.

The rap mogul - who raises six kids with three women - never expected to have such a complicated personal life but is always willing to take his fatherhood responsibilities seriously.

Explaining his "movie-like" situation, the hip-hop star admitted he had met each of the women, Kim Porter, Misa Hylton-Brim and Sarah Chapman at around the same period in his life but insisted he didn`t date them all at once.

He continued: "At different times in my life, as my heart got broken by one, I cried on the shoulder of another .

"It wasn`t at the same time. Life isn`t something you can predict. Every woman that I was with, that I had a child with, they did deserve for me to marry them. But there`s things going on in my life ... I`m not gonna say it`s all the way me, but I`ll take responsibility as a man.

"What if my twins ask why I ain`t married to their mom? Damn, how do I respond?"

Diddy - who has 17-year-old Justin with Misa, Christian, 12, and four-year-old twins D`Lila Star and Jessie James with Kim, is stepfather to her eldest son Quincy, 19, and has four-year-old son Chance with Sarah - is unsure why he has never married but believes the death of his father when he was young is a big factor.

He explained on TV talk show `The View`: "The reason of it, why I`m not married yet, I don`t have the exact reason. Some things in life, you don`t have the exact reason why you`re not. I know that I haven`t been ready; I know there`s other reasons in my life.

"My father was killed when I was three years old, and my mother was a very strong woman and she said, `Well I loved your father and I`m not gonna have another man around. There`s not gonna be anyone else around, and that`s how it`s gonna be.` But then on the flip side, I never got a chance to see the way a family lives."
