Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ kids slam ‘conspiracy theories’ about him: ‘We stand united’
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ son, Quincy Brown, has defended his famous dad following the rapper’s arrest on sex-trafficking charges.
Quincy, 33, posted a statement on Instagram Tuesday in support of Combs, 54, alongside a group family photo.
“The past month has devastated our family,” Quincy wrote. “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,” Quincy added. “We hold onto the truth, knowing it will prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family. WE MISS YOU & LOVE YOU DAD.”
Quincy is the son of Combs’ ex, Kim Porter, and her former husband, singer Al B. Sure!. Combs later adopted Quincy when he was just 3 years old.
Last month, Quincy and his siblings — Christian, Jessie and D’Lila Combs — put out a joint statement condemning “horrific conspiracy theories” swirling around about their late mother, who died suddenly in 2018 at age 47 as a result of lobar pneumonia.
They bashed a so-called memoir that claims to have been written by Porter before her passing. The 59-page book was self-published on Sept. 6 under a pseudonym by a self-described investigative journalist.
“We have seen so many hurtful and false rumors circulating about our parents, Kim Porter and Sean Combs’ relationship, as well as about our mom’s tragic passing, that we feel the need to speak out,” the siblings’ statement read.
“Claims that our mom wrote a book are simply untrue. She did not. And anyone claiming to have a manuscript is misrepresenting themselves,” their statement continued.
The children also insisted there was “no foul play” in Porter’s death, despite social media swirling with suspicions and conspiracies about her passing.
They wrote: “We are deeply saddened that the world has made a spectacle of what has been the most tragic event of our lives. Our mother should be remembered for the beautiful, strong, kind, and loving woman she was. Her memory should not be tainted by horrific conspiracy theories.”
In their statement, the children at the time did not comment on the charges their father is now facing as he sits behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
Following Combs’ arrest in September, Quincy and his brothers Christian, 26, and Justin, 30 were seen at a NY courthouse where their father was denied bail. Then on Oct. 10, six of Combs’ seven children and his mother, Janice Combs, were seen arriving at a Manhattan federal court, where a judge set Combs’ trial date for May 5.
Combs has three sons, Quincy, Justin and Christian, and four daughters, Chance, 18, twins D’Lila and Jessie, 17, and Love, who turns 2 in December.
The record executive shared Christian and his twins with Porter. He had Justin with stylist Misa Hylton, Chance with Sarah Chapman and Love with Dana Tran.
It was reported last month that Combs was in touch with his children from jail.
A source reportedly close to Combs’ family told People his kids are “in a state of crisis and shock” in the wake of his arrest.
Combs has been charged with felony sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution.
He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Combs has also been hit with numerous civil lawsuits alleging sexual assault and rape.
His lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, said last month the disgraced rapper plans to testify during his trial.
“I don’t know that I could keep him off the stand,” Agnifilo told TMZ. “I think he is very eager to tell his story.”
