Sean 'Diddy' Comb's seven chil

American rapper Sean 'P Diddy' Combs has the support of his children behind bars.

The Bad Boy millionaire, 54, shares seven children with four different women - including four kids with his late ex-girlfriend, actress Kim Porter. Combs was arrested last month in New York and later charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, transportation and engaging in prostitution.

Over the past year, he has been sued by several people who claim he subjected them to physical or sexual abuse, including his former girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie, who has accused Combs of rape and a decade-long pattern of abuse. Diddy 'vehemently denied' Cassie's allegations last year and has pleaded not guilty to his charges.

The music star is currently being held in the notorious Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, while Texas lawyer Tony Buzbee has announced 120 new alleged victims with abuse claims against him. Of them, 25 claim they were underage when the alleged abuse happened. Diddy has denied all of the accusations.

Children's support

A source revealed to TMZ recently that all of Diddy's kids are standing beside their father as they still revere him as a great dad and love him. This includes his four children with Kim - Quincy, Christian, Jessie, D'Lila - as well as his son Justin, whom he shares with fashion designer Misa Hylton, and daughter Chance, whom he shares with businesswoman Sarah Chapman. He is also dad to one-year-old Love, whom he welcomed in 2022 with model Dana Tran.

Last month, Diddy and Kim's children spoke out about claims their late mum had written a book before her passing. Within the alleged memoir were accusations of Combs assaulting Kim, as well as various other shocking claims that were reportedly leaked by her friends.

The book's publisher, producer Chris Todd, claims Kim shared a hard drive of her writing with close friends, which he edited under the pseudonym Jamal T Millwood. The book, titled Kim's Words: A Journey for Justice from the Other Side, was released posthumously on Amazon.

The children's statement read: "We have seen so many hurtful and false rumours 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. Claims that our mom wrote a book are simply untrue.

"She did not, and anyone claiming to have a manuscript is misrepresenting themselves. Additionally, please understand that any so-called 'friend' speaking on behalf of our mom or her family is not a friend, nor do they have her best interests at heart."

The statement went on: "Our lives were shattered when we lost our mother. She was our world, and nothing has been the same since she passed. While it has been incredibly difficult to reconcile how she could be taken from us too soon, the cause of her death has long been established.

"There was no foul play. Grief is a lifelong process, and we ask that everyone respect our request for peace as we continue to cope with her loss every day. 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. We ask that everyone please respect our mother, Kim Porter, and hold her legacy in high regard so that she may rest in peace. It's what she deserves. We love you and miss you, Mommy. Quincy, Christian, Jessie and D'Lila."

'Adopted daughter'

In a resurfaced video from four years ago, Diddy claimed he has another child, an adopted daughter called Ava Baroni. Combs said in an Instagram live in 2020 that he "adopted" the girl because he wanted her to have a "Black parent". However, sources have since claimed the video is a skit and Diddy did not formally adopt the girl in the video.

In the clip, Diddy is seen giving Ava a kiss on the cheek, and says he 'adopted her' with her mother's permission. He asks her to introduce herself, and she says her name is "Ava". Diddy asks: "What's your last name?" "Ava Baroni" the girl replies before Diddy says: "Ava Baroni-Combs".

Ava then claims she was "on the streets" before "Papa Combs decided that he was going to be a caring man". "Yes, it's breaking news. Diddy adopted a white child," the rapper says, adding: "I want you to tell them the story of how I adopted you. You still have beautiful parents, but you're my child also. Please, tell the story."

Giggling, with Diddy's son, Quincy Brown, in the background, Ava says: "So, I was on the streets, and then Papa Combs decided that he would like to be a caring man. So then he saw me and decided to pick me up. And said to come inside and play with his kids."

"Ava, that's a little borderline suspect," Diddy states. "I adopted you like Madonna adopted kids, and everybody else adopted kids, Charlize Theron, Sandra Bullock. I adopted you because I felt that you could enjoy having a Black parent to take care of you, and help you out. So just clarify it, cause it's crazy out here online."

Asking Ava to clarify he has her 'mother's permission', he continues: "You play with the kids, and I got permission from your mother, say all of that." Ava responds by saying that she has been friends with his and the late Kim Porter's teenage twin daughters, D'Lila and Jessie, 17. "Well, I met Jessie and D'Lila when I was six-months-old. And then we basically are sisters," she says.

However, last month, TMZ claimed Diddy is not actually Ava's father and never legally adopted the girl. The outlet says Ava has reportedly known the twins since they were children but is cared for by her own parents. Her parents are said to have been friends with Kim, and she remains close with D'Lila and Jessie. Diddy has not had a parental role in Ava's life, and she and her family have distanced themselves from him.
