Sean “Diddy” Combs may be in jail awaiting trial — but he still made sure his Instagram account posted in honor of his seventh and youngest child’s birthday.
Daughter Love Combs — whom the rapper-turned-mogul shares with Dana Tran — turned 2 on Tuesday.
“Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday baby Love! Happy Birthday to you!! ❤️🫶🏽,” a four-slide carousel was captioned on behalf of Diddy.
“Happy Birthday @loveseancombs daddy loves you 🎂🎉🎈.”
Two of the photos showed little Love dazzling in a princess-style dress while indulging in birthday cake, while the others featured moments with her dad prior to his arrest.
In December 2022, Diddy surprised his X (formerly Twitter) followers by revealing he had a baby girl.
The Bad Boy Records founder, who was in a relationship with Yung Miami at the time, did not identify Love’s mother — but she was later confirmed to be Tran.
Diddy is also dad to son Quincy Brown, 33, son Justin Combs, 30, son Christian “King” Combs, 26, daughter Chance Combs, 18, and twin daughters Jessie and D’Lila Combs, 17.
Chance, Jessie and D’Lila gushed to Page Six about the “sassy” and “cute” addition to their family at the MTV Video Music Awards in September 2023.
As for the toddler’s father, the 54-year-old is currently behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he is being held without bail.
Diddy was arrested in mid-September on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, to which he pleaded not guilty.
According to the indictment, federal agents discovered more than 1,000 bottles of lubricant, various narcotics and three AR-15s when they raided his Los Angeles and Miami mansions in March.
Prosecutors claimed the Grammy winner “abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct” for decades, “creating a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in … sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice.”
Per the indictment, Diddy and members of his Combs Enterprise allegedly facilitated multiple “Freak Offs”: drug-fueled sex gatherings.
During these events, the hip-hop star allegedly “hit, kicked, threw objects at and dragged victims, at times, by their hair,” according to the indictment, which further claimed that he “subjected victims to physical, emotional and verbal abuse to cause the victims to engage in Freak Offs,” which he “often electronically recorded.”
The alleged assaults “often resulted in injuries that took days or weeks to heal,” per prosecutors.
If convicted, Diddy faces a minimum of 15 years in prison.
Last week, after his defense team filed a third appeal for pretrial release, the musician made his first court appearance. His 84-year-old mother, Janice Combs, and his six older kids showed up to Manhattan federal court to show their support.
Judge Arun Subramanian set Diddy’s trial date for May 5, 2025, which also happens to be the day of Vogue’s prestigious Met Gala.
