NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: As Sean "Diddy" Combs navigates his time in custody, questions arise about his ability to stay connected with his seven children. Sources close to the situation recently revealed that while the music mogul awaits trial, he’s only allowed brief interactions with his family.

Diddy was arrested in Manhattan on September 16 and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution, all of which he denies. 

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' is 'concerned' about well-being of his children

Following his arrest, Sean "Diddy" Combs has "been able to speak briefly to family members and his children via phone," as per an insider. 

The rapper has three sons, Quincy, 33, Justin, 30, and Christian, 26, and four daughters, Chance, 18, twins Jessie and D’Lila, 17, and Love, who is just 19 months old. 

"He is very concerned about his kids and their well-being," shared the insider with People, adding, "He has three minor children, two of whom now have no living parent available with him incarcerated. Four of his seven children have neither parent available with him incarcerated." 

Diddy shares Christian, Jessie, and D’Lila with model and actress Kim Porter, who died in 2018 at the age of 47. Quincy is Porter's son from her relationship with Al B Sure!, but Combs adopted him at age three.

Diddy welcomed Justin with stylist Misa Hylton, while Chance is the daughter of Sarah Chapman. The youngest, Love, was born to Dana Tran in December 2022.

A second source close to the family revealed that the rapper's children are "in a state of crisis and shock" following their father's arrest. "It's heartbreaking to see the children in the state they're in. This is their father. But to them, he's not Diddy — he's Dad. He has always been a loving, devoted father," noted the tipster.

What happened during Sean 'Diddy' Combs' arraignment?

During Sean 'Diddy' Combs’ arraignment in a New York City court on September 17, he pleaded not guilty to all charges brought against him. His son, Christian, sat in the third row and was seen reading the 14-page indictment against him.

When the judge rejected Diddy's bail request, he turned to Christian and his family and placed his hand on his heart.

Diddy's arrest came after Homeland Security agents raided his Los Angeles and Miami mansions in March. As per the indictment, authorities found 1,000 bottles of baby oil and three AR-15s with defaced serial numbers, among other items. 

The music mogul's attorney, Marc Agnifilo, proposed a $50 million bail package, but a judge rejected it and ordered Diddy to remain in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn while awaiting trial. 

During the hearing, Agnifilo mentioned that Diddy was in treatment and therapy but did not specify the details due to confidentiality.

"He’s going to fight this with all of his energy and all of his might and the full confidence of his lawyers and I expect a long battle with a good result for Mr Combs," said the attorney outside the court on September 17. 

Diddy's next hearing is scheduled for October 9. If convicted on all charges, Bad Boy Records founder might be sentenced to at least 15 years in prison.
