Sean “Diddy” Combschildren spoke out in the wake of their father’s arrest and ongoing legal battle.
“The past month has devastated our family. Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories and false stories that have grown into absurdity on social media,” they shared in a joint Instagram statement on Tuesday, October 22. way.”
The statement concluded: “We hold fast to the truth, knowing that it will prevail, and that nothing will break the strength of our family. WE MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU DAD.”
Diddy, 54, is the father of seven children. He shares eldest son Justin, 30, with Misa Hylton. Diddy and the late Kim Porter shared son Christian, 26, and he also adopted Porter’s son Quincy Brown, 33, during their relationship. They are also parents to twins D’Lila and Jessie, 17. (Porter died at age 47 in 2018.) Diddy and Sarah Chapman part daughter Chance, 18. The disgraced music mogul’s youngest child is a daughter named Love, 22 months, with whom he shares Dana Tran.
In addition to being a rapper and entrepreneur, Diddy is the proud father of seven children. The rapper started his family in 1993 when he and fashion designer Misa Hylton welcomed a baby boy. Diddy later dated model Kim Porter. The pair had an on-again, off-again relationship from 1994 to 2007, during which […]
Tuesday’s Instagram post included a photo of Diddy with all of his children. The statement was a joint social media post shared through the profiles of Quincy, Justin, Christian, Chance, Jessie and D’Lila.
Diddy was arrested in Manhattan last month. A day later, prosecutors accused Diddy of abusing, threatening and coercing women “to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct” in a 14-page indictment. He has since pleaded not guilty to all charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution. (Multiple accusers have since filed lawsuits against the rapper as well. He has denied all allegations in those lawsuits.)
The music mogul submitted his third request for provisional release earlier this month, but it was rejected. Diddy will be held in jail without bail. His trial will begin on May 5, 2025.
Tuesday’s social media post isn’t the first time Diddy’s children have made a public statement about their father’s legal troubles.
Late last month, Quincy, Christian, Jessie and D’Lila spoke out in a statement condemning a memoir believed to have been written by the late Porter.
“We have seen so many hurtful and false rumors circulating about our parents, Kim Porter and Sean Combs’ relationship, and about our mother’s tragic passing that we feel the need to speak out,” read their social media post of September 24. “Claims that our mother wrote a book are simply not true. She did not do that, and anyone who claims to have a manuscript is misrepresenting the facts.”
The book, titled “Kim’s Lost Words: A Journey for Justice, From the Other Side…” has since been removed from Amazon.
“Additionally, please understand that any so-called ‘friend’ speaking on behalf of our mother or her family is not a friend, nor does she have her best interests at heart,” the children’s post added in part. “Our lives were destroyed when we lost our mother. She was our world. And nothing has been the same since she passed away.”
