Concerns about the safety of Sean Diddy Combs‘s so-called “adopted” daughter have emerged amid the serious allegations against him. Despite his claims, he never held any legal guardianship over her.
The 54-year-old music mogul faces grave accusations, including human trafficking and racketeering, alongside claims of brutal sexual and physical abuse directed at former partners and associates.
Combs was detained by the Department of Homeland Security on September 16, where he was denied bail despite offering $50 million in collateral and has pleaded not guilty as he awaits his trial.
Interest in this situation intensified after his ex-partner, Cassie Ventura, filed a lawsuit against him in November 2023, which was resolved within a day, prompting numerous individuals to come forward with their own allegations.
A video from 2020 featuring his “adopted” daughter has resurfaced, causing fans to express worries for her safety. In the clip, Combs stated he desired her to have a “black parent,” yet he is neither biologically nor legally her father.
According to TMZ, Combs never officially adopted her, and his claims were merely part of a skit. He mentioned having her biological mother’s endorsement for the adoption and asserted that he wanted to help after she was “homeless,” indicating that he was stepping in as a protector.
In reality, the girl named Ava has her own loving family and has maintained friendships with Combs’s daughters since childhood. She became acquainted with them through their mother, Kim Porter, but Combs has not participated in her upbringing.
The twins, D’Lila and Jessie, have not yet commented on their father’s legal troubles and have moved to a residence in Los Angeles, where authorities conducted a raid on Combs’s property earlier this year.
Combs refutes the accusations
Combs has been brought before the US District Court in New York, charged with serious offenses, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and facilitating prostitution.
Prosecutors allege he was implicated in kidnapping, forced labor, bribery, and ran a criminal organization that exploited and manipulated women into engaging with male prostitutes, referred to as “freak offs.”
Facing a minimum sentence of 15 years, he could potentially be ordered to serve life in prison. He has denied all charges and entered a not guilty plea in court.
His next court appearance is scheduled for October 9, where he will again seek bail after requests have been denied due to concerns for public safety, according to the prosecution.
