Diddy‘s son, King Combs, says he will take charge of his father’s social media account while the embattled singer continues to stay in prison ahead of trial.
The Bad Boy’s founder is in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York City on various charges, including sex trafficking, to which he has pleaded not guilty.
His son King Combs made the announcement when he shared a video on Diddy’s Instagram account on November 6.
“What’s up y’all…it’s King Combs and right now I’m taking over my Pops’ Instagram. We’re gonna be posting videos by spreading good energy and taking y’all down memory lane of all the positive things he did. So, stay tuned and watch this. We love you, pops. Happy Birthday,” Kings said in the video.
Last week, “Diddy” thanked his children for showing solidarity despite his legal battles. On November 4, which was his birthday, the children posted a video to their Instagram pages showing the phone conversation they had with their father.

The video showed the older kids helping their baby sister sing a birthday song to their dad to which Diddy replied:
“I love you all, I love you all so much…I can’t wait to see ya’ll…I just want to say I’m proud of ya’ll, especially the girls— I mean, all of ya’ll,” he said.
“Thank you all for being strong, thank you all for being by my side, supporting me, I love ya’ll. I get the best family in the world. My birthday, I’m happy. Thank you all for giving me this call. Thank you very much. I love you all,” Diddy Combs added.
The interaction came weeks after the children Quincy Brown, 33, Justin Combs, 30, Christian Combs, 26, Chance Combs, 18, and D’Lila and Jessie Combs, 17, issued a joint statement, speaking publicly for the first time about their dad’s legal battles
Reports indicate Sean “Diddy” Combs would appear in court on December 18 and could face up to 15 years in prison if found guilty of the charges leveled against him.
He was arrested in New York in September and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transporting for prostitution.
He had been denied bail several times, including the latest attempt to offer a $ 50 million bail bond, which was also declined. Sources say he hopes to be granted bail ahead of the trial later on May 5, 2025.
