Sean “Diddy” Combs has his family by his side.
As the rap mogul prepares for his sex trafficking trial, set to begin May 12 in New York, his kids have continued to support him since his arrest in September, including in the courtroom.
Indeed, Combs—who has pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, prostitution, racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, as well as transportation to engage in prostitution—had the chance to see his mom Janice Combs and two of his kids as they sat in the room during a March court appearance.
His and late ex Kim Porter’s son Christian “King” Combs, 26, as well as his and ex Sarah Chapman’s daughter Chance Combs, 19, stepped out in support of their dad when he entered his not guilty plea following an unsealed superseding indictment.
Although only two were in attendance at the courthouse, his kids—including his and Porter’s son Quincy Brown, 33, twin daughtersJessie Combs and D’Lila Combs, 18, his and ex Misa Hylton’s son Justin Combs, 30—solidified their support in a joint social media post.
“The past month has devastated our family,” the siblings wrote in a post shared to Quincy’s Instagram in October. “Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that have spiraled into absurdity on social media.”
“We stand united, supporting you every step of the way,” the note continued. “We hold onto the truth, knowing it will prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family. WE MISS YOU & LOVE YOU DAD.”
And with Combs detained in the Metropolitan Detention Center, Quincy, Christian, Jessie, D’Lila, Justin, Dance, along with his and Dana Tran’s 2-year-old daughter Love, were sure to celebrate his 55th birthday no matter what.
As the kids crowded their kitchen table with a cake in a November Instagram video, Love serenaded Combs with “Happy Birthday” before she did the honors of blowing out the candles. Although the celebration was less-than-ideal for the Combs family, the Bad Boys Records founder expressed gratitude for the gesture.
“I love you all, I love you all so much,” Sean said over the phone in the clip. “I can’t wait to see you y’all. I’m proud of y’all.”
“Thank you all for being strong and thank you all for being by my side and supporting me,” he continued. “I love y’all. I got the best family in the world. My birthday, I’m happy. Thank you for giving me this call, thank you very much. I love you all.”
As we await more updates on Combs’ ongoing legal battle, read on for a closer look at his sprawling family tree.
Quincy Brown
Diddy adopted Quincy—whose parents are Al B. Sure! and the late Kim Porter—in the late ’90s while dating Kim.
Quincy has followed in his dad’s musical footsteps by dropping songs like “Friends First” with French Montana and, more recently, tracks “On Your Time” and “Day & Night.”
“I think I’ve been a sponge, and now I do so much,” Quincy, who also acts, told People in 2023 about watching Diddy work. “Just seeing how he’s able to handle and juggle all these things, I took that from him as my most major takeaway.”
Justin Dior Combs
If Diddy and Misa Hylton‘s son looks familiar that’s because you remember him from the 2010 episode of My Super Sweet 16. (Yes, Nicki Minaj did attend his celebration.)
Since graduating from the University of California, Los Angeles, where he played for the school’s football team, Justin has acted in Power Book II: Ghost and hosted the series Respectfully Justin. He also appeared on The Crew League as well as in Usher and Ella Mai‘s music video for “Don’t Waste My Time” along with his younger brother Christian Combs.
Christian Combs
Diddy and Kim’s son has made it clear he’s a recording artist in his own right. Not only is the rapper, known as King Combs, signed to dad’s label Bad Boy Entertainment but he’s also dropped the EP Cyncerely, C3 plus songs like “Can’t Stop Won’t Stop” featuring Kodak Bear, “Love You Better” featuring Chris Brown and “Flyest in The City” featuring A Boogie Wit da Hoodie, Fabolous and Jeremih.
“I had to work for it,” Christian said on an October 2022 episode of The Breakfast Club. “It wasn’t easy to just come out and everybody just receive my music or think that. I have the worth ethic that it takes.”
Chance Combs
Chance—her mom is Sarah Chapman—came into the world in July 2006 while Diddy was also expecting twins with Kim.
Today, she has her eyes set on Hollywood.
“Zendaya is one of my biggest inspirations,” Chance told Laverne Cox on the red carpet at the 2022 Oscars, “and someone that I really want to work with in the future.”
Jessie & D’Lila Combs
Five months after Chance’s birth, Diddy welcomed twins Jessie and D’Lila Combs. And the trio may as well be triplets. Together, they’ve attended the Billboard Music Awards and Daily Front Row‘s Los Angeles Awards. They even walked in Dolce & Gabbana’s fashion show in Italy back in 2021.
Love Sean Combs
Diddy announced in December 2022 that he and Dana Tran welcomed a baby girl named Love Sean Combs. And she’s ready to be a star. She already has her own Instagram account—run by her parents, of course—featuring adorable photos of the little one as well as videos of all her major milestones.
