Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ family shows their support in court

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ six children: Justin, Quincy, Christian, Chance, and twins Jessie and D’Lila have been a source of strength for the music mogul even since he was arrested in September 2024 and charged with crimes related to sexual misconduct.

All of Combs’ children wrote in support of their father a month after his arrest. Taking to social media, Quincy Combs, in collaboration with Combs’ other children, wrote:

“The past month has devastated our family. 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. We hold onto the truth, knowing it will prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family. WE MISS YOU & LOVE YOU DAD.”

All of Combs’ children, alongside his mother Janice, have also supported him in court. They arrived in court when the trial began on May 12. One of Combs’ exes and the mother of Justin, Misa Hylton, also appeared in court to support the Bad Boy Records founder.

Despite their show of support for their father, People Magazine noted that Combs’ daughters, Chance, Jessie, and D’Lila, left the courtroom on May 12 while a male escort gave graphic testimony against their father’s alleged sexual activities and violence against his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. While the testimony was being given, Combs’ daughters left the courtroom twice.
