Sean “Diddy” Combs’ kids have finally addressed the mogul’s sex trafficking case.
In a joint Instagram post on Tuesday, Quincy Brown, 33, Justin Combs, 30, King Combs, 26, Chance Combs, 18, and twins Jessie and D’Lila Combs, 17, professed their continued love for their 54-year-old father despite the continued filing of sexual assault lawsuits against him.
“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,” the statement read.
Combs’ children posted this family photo to Instagram on Tuesday.
A family photo including Sean Combs’ mother, Janice Combs, as well as his youngest daughter Love Combs, and her mother Dana Tran, accompanied the caption.
Captions are turned off on the post.
Last week, Sean Combs’ Instagram account posted photos of Love Combs in celebration of her second birthday despite the “Bad Boy For Life” rapper awaiting trial at the notoriously rough MDC Brooklyn.
“Happy Birthday @loveseancombs daddy loves you,” the caption read.
All of Combs’ adult children, as well as his mother, have attended at least one of his hearings in New York Federal Court.
Justin and King Combs were detained, but not arrested at their father’s Los Angeles home while federal agents raided the property in March.
Misa Hylton, the mother of Justin Combs, shared a time-lapse video from inside the LA raid, condemning the authorities for their “excessive use of force.”

“The [overzealous] and overtly militarized force used against my sons Justin and Christian is deplorable,” Hylton wrote in the post. “If these were the sons of a non-Black celebrity, they would not have been handled with the same aggression. The attempt to humiliate and terrorize these innocent young Black men is despicable!”
“Did Justin need several laser beams from firearms pointed at his chest,” Hylton continued. “Did Christian need a gun pointed at the back of his head while he was handcuffed? How many times have we seen young unarmed Black men not make it out of these types of situations alive?”
On Sunday, seven more John or Jane Does filed civil lawsuits against Sean Combs alleging that he, in some cases, others, too, drugged and raped them. The allegations range from 2000 to 2022 with the youngest claiming the alleged assault happened when she was 13.

These lawsuits are from a group of 120 accusers being represented by Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee. In a headline-grabbing October 14 filing from one of Buzbee’s clients, Combs allegedly had baby oil at his home laced with Rohypnol or GHB, a substance commonly known as a date rape drug.
Combs was arrested and charged on September 16 in a three-count Indictment with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty, denied any wrongdoing, and has been denied bail on multiple occasions.
His trial date is set for May 5, 2025.
