Diddy’s kids respond to accusations and ‘conspiracy theories’

  • Sean “Diddy” Combs is awaiting trial on federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and more.
  • Six of his children have pledged their support and dismissed “conspiracy theories” about their father.
  • “We hold fast to the truth, knowing it will prevail,” they wrote on Instagram.

While Sean “Diddy” Combs awaits trial in jail on three crimes, including sex trafficking, his six adult children stand united behind their father.

Quincy Brown, 33, Justin Combs, 30, Christian Combs, 26, Chance Combs, 18, and twins D’Lila Star Combs and Jessie James Combs, 17, shared a joint statement via Instagram on Tuesday — their first time addressing the scandal directly since Combs was charged by federal prosecutors in September.

“The past month has devastated our family,” the group wrote in a photo caption. “Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories and false stories that have grown into absurdity on social media.”

“We stand united and support you every step of the way,” their statement continued. “We hold fast to the truth, knowing that it will prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family. WE MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU DAD.”

The photo shows all six children with their father, plus Combs’ mother, Janice Small Combs; Combs’ seventh child, a 1-year-old daughter named Love Sean Combs; and Love’s mother, Dana Tran.

Combs, the millionaire rap entrepreneur and founder of Bad Boy Records, has been charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.

For decades, Combs “abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct,” federal prosecutors allege in the 14-page indictment.

Combs pleaded not guilty to the charges but was twice denied bail. He is being held The infamous Metropolitan Detention Center in New York.

Since Combs has been in prison, the charges continue to pile up. He is facing 18 civil lawsuits from people accusing him of it sexual abusesexual misconduct and sex trafficking – a number that is expected to rise dramatically in the coming months.

In addition to his legal troubles, the online rumor mill is concerned with Combs’ history with other celebrities, especially his famous ex-girlfriends.

Some tabloids have gone so far as to raise suspicion about the death of Kim Porter, who dated Combs for more than a decade. They split in 2007, shortly after she gave birth to their twin daughters. Porter died in 2018 at the age of 47 from lobar pneumonia.

Last month, Porter’s four children — Quincy, born to Porter and adopted by Combs, as well as the former couple’s three biological children, Christian, D’Lila and Jessie — publicly defended their parents’ relationship.

“We have seen so many hurtful and false rumors circulating about our parents,” they wrote in a statement shared by Essence.

“Our lives were destroyed when we lost our mother,” they continued. “She was our world, and nothing has been the same since she passed away. While it has been incredibly difficult to reconcile how she could have been taken from us too soon, the cause of her death has long been established. There was no malicious intent. “

The children also asked for peace and respect as they “dealt with her loss every day.”

Combs’ mother and all six adult children also attended his hearing in federal court on Oct. 10, when the judge set the trial date for May 5, 2025. If convicted, he could face up to life in prison.
