Diddy‘s kids have spoken out yet again!
As tons of new allegations come to light against their father, who is currently behind bars awaiting trial, Sean Combs‘ children released a joint statement in which they are… still standing by his side. Yes, really. Despite the sex trafficking charges, the rape accusations, even the allegations about children.

On Tuesday, Quincy, 33, Justin, 30, Christian “King,” 26, Chance, 18, twins D’Lila and Jessie, 17, and Love, 2, whom he shares with various baby mommas, wrote on Instagram:
“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.”
Oh, wow. They’re 100% on their dad’s side if they think this is all “false narratives”! Doubling down on this, the family wrote:
“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.”
Whoa…
The statement — which was shared to all but the youngest’s IG profile — was posted alongside a family photo of them all smiling. Check it out (below):
This is the kids’ first time speaking on these allegations directly. Previously, Diddy’s kids with the late Kim Porter — that’s Quincy, King, Jessie, and D’Lila — hit back at rumors surrounding her death. They also denied claims their mom wrote a book before her passing, helping get the so-called memoir taken off Amazon. However, they refrained from talking about their father’s arrest at the time.
While they’ve remained fairly quiet on social media throughout this legal ordeal, pretty much all the kids were seen at their father’s hearing earlier this month. They have reportedly all visited him behind bars, too, so they are making their support known. It’s gotta be a tough and confusing time for them all, especially the minors! (We imagine it’ll be confusing in a few years for 2-year-old Love.)
Their latest statement comes after five new lawsuits were filed on Sunday accusing the rapper of all new sexual assault allegations, including from a woman who says she was raped at just 13. Lawyer Tony Buzbee has said he will be representing over 100 people in different lawsuits. So, there’s a LOT more still to come.
Combs was arrested in September on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, transportation to engage in prostitution, and other related crimes. S, along with the many lawsuits against him, he’s also dealing with a criminal trial which is set to begin in early May. He has pleaded not guilty and denied all the allegations against him. It remains unclear what alleged behavior the kids may have been privy to, but it should be noted that Diddy’s son King has also been accused of sexual assault in a lawsuit filed in April.
