Sean Diddy Combs’ children have rallied around their father following his arrest for human trafficking and racketeering in New York City, dismissing the allegations as “conspiracy theories” propagated by his supposed victims.
The 54-year-old music mogul was taken into custody by the Department of Homeland Security on September 16. He subsequently appeared in the United States District Court, where his requests for bond were denied three times, resulting in his continued detention at the Metropolitan Detention Center.
More than 120 individuals have accused the music executive of various forms of violence and abuse, some of whom were as young as 13 at the time of the incidents. Allegations focus on his extravagant parties, where it’s claimed he drugged and assaulted guests, while also permitting others to do the same, with these events reportedly lasting days.
Despite the severity of these allegations, his children continue to support him.
In a family statement, Quincy Taylor Brown and Chance, Justin, Christian, Jessie, and D’Lila Combs said, “The past month has devastated our family. Many have made judgments about him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that have become outrageous on social media.”
They expressed, “[We] stand united, supporting you every step of the way. We believe in the truth, which we are confident will prevail, and nothing can weaken our family’s bond. WE MISS YOU & LOVE YOU DAD.”
What is the trial date for Sean Diddy Combs?
Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges, which include facilitating transportation for prostitution, firmly denying any wrongdoing while remaining in jail after prosecutors successfully argued that he poses a flight risk.
If convicted, he could face a life sentence in federal prison, as he continues to assert he has “never sexually assaulted anyone—neither adults nor minors, men nor women.”
The trial for Sean Diddy Combs is set for May 2025, expected to draw significant attention akin to the O.J. Simpson murder trial from 1995, which lasted ten months before Simpson’s acquittal.
