Diddy’s kids share a birthday video of the prison call

Like Sean”DiddyCombs remains incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn awaiting trial, his children shared a video in which he can be heard on the phone wishing him a happy birthday.

In the video shared by his son Justin Dior Combs on Monday, Diddy could be heard on the phone talking to his children, marking one of the first times the public heard the elder Combs’ voice since his arrest.

“I love you so much. I can’t wait to see you all. I just want to say that I am proud of you, especially the girls. I mean all of you, but only because you are strong. Thank you all for being strong and thank you all for being with me, supporting me. I love you all. I have the best family in the world. My birthday. i am happy Thank you all for giving me this call. I love you all,” Diddy can be heard telling Quincy Brown, Justin, Christian (King), Chance, Jessie, D’Lila and Love.

After telling Combs they loved him, too, his children told them they couldn’t wait to see him “in a few days.”

Justin Combs is Diddy’s first born son with fashion designer Misa Hylton. Chance’s mother is businesswoman Sarah Chapman. Diddy shared Brown, Christian (King) Combs and twins, D’Lila and Jessie Combs with his late ex Kim Porter. Diddy shares daughter Love with model Dana Tran.

Last month, in a statement on social mediahis children expressed their support for their father after he was arrested and indicted on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.

“The last month has devastated our family,” the statement read. “Many have judged both him and us based on allegations, conspiracy theories and false narratives that have become absurd on social media. We are united, supporting you every step of the way. We hold on to the truth, knowing it will prevail and nothing will break the strength of our family. We miss you and love you, Dad.”

Brown, Christian (King) Combs and twins, and D’Lila and Jessie Combs issued a statement after Al B. Sure!, R&B singer and Brown’s biological father, called for an investigation to be opened in Porter’s death.

“We are deeply saddened that the world has made a spectacle out of what was 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 horrible conspiracy theories,” the statement read at the time. “We ask that everyone respect our mother, Kim Porter, and hold her legacy with great respect so that she may rest in peace. It’s what it deserves. We love and miss you mommy. Quincy, Christian, Jessie and D’Lila.”

Diddy was custody and indicted in September on three counts of running a vast criminal enterprise in which he allegedly assaulted and trafficked women with the help of his business empire since at least 2008. After pleading not guilty to sex trafficking and racketeering charges, he was denied bail because fears about him. he could flee the country.

The arrest came amid Combs facing legal trouble following his ex-girlfriend Casandra Ventura filing a lawsuit last year, which detailed a decade of physical and sexual abuse. Since his arrest, the mogul has faced a number of lawsuits and charges, including from producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Joneswho filed a sexual assault lawsuit against Combs in February, accusing him of harassing and trafficking her. A sexual assault lawsuit was also submitted by his former bandmate Dawn Richard with similar complaints also made from other accusersincluding Liza Gardner, Joi Dickerson-Neal and Crystal McKinney.

It was announced earlier this month that 120 accusers have filed complaints against Diddy for sexual assault and sex trafficking. Twenty-five of the accusers were minors, aged between nine and 14 at the time of the alleged incidents.

Tony Buzbee, a lawyer for the accusers, said many of the accusers claim they were raped after being drugged and that “a lot of people trying to break into the industry were coerced into this kind of conduct under the promise of stardom.” . Diddy continued to deny the claims.

Diddy remains behind bars while he awaits his trial, which was set for May 5. If convicted, Combs faces 15 years to life in prison.
