As Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs stood in a New York City courtroom on Tuesday and pleaded ‘not guilty’ to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, conspiracy and prostitution, his three sons stood by him.
Justin, 30, Christian ‘King’, 26, and Quincy Taylor Brown, 33, arrived together at the federal courthouse, each attired in dark sunglasses and two-piece matching loungewear sets.
In the seventh-floor arraignment room, Christian Combs requested a copy of the three-count federal indictment and sat leafing through the 14-page document outlining the disturbing allegations against their 54-year-old father.
Combs’s three glamorous daughters and 23-month-old baby girl, meanwhile, were nowhere in view – perhaps wisely.
One might ask: How could the three brothers stand there in solidarity with a father accused of staging violent, drug-fuelled orgies known as ‘freak-offs’ and, according to the court records, physically abusing a slew of women, ‘striking, punching, dragging, throwing objects at, and kicking them’?

Combs’s three glamorous daughters and 23-month-old baby girl, meanwhile, were nowhere in view, perhaps wisely.
Certainly, two of the three boys have colorful pasts of their own – and, in the case of Justin, questions to answer about the extent of his involvement in Combs’s alleged abuse.
Earlier this year, the 30-year-old son of Sean Combs and fashion designer Misa Hylton was named in a lawsuit filed by his father’s long-time business partner, Rodney Jones.
Legal papers claim Justin solicited prostitutes, including underage girls. According to Jones, Justin even took part in his father’s orgies, during which, it is alleged, Combs lured victims into sex acts with male commercial sex workers.
Less than a year ago, Justin appeared to have a narrow escape after he was arrested in Los Angeles for driving under the influence. Despite running a red light and having a blood alcohol content above the legal limit, the charges were dismissed by the court.
Justin Combs pled no contest to driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 percent or higher, was sentenced to three years of probation and enrolled in a drug and alcohol counselling program.
In his younger days as a defensive back for the UCLA Bruins football team – a position for which he scored a $54,000 scholarship, despite his father’s vast $550 million fortune – Justin wasn’t insulated from the chaos surrounding his famous dad.
After UCLA strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi reportedly screamed at the 21-year-old during a team training session in June 2015, Sean Combs, it was alleged, stormed onto campus, cornered Alosi in his office and swung a heavy metal kettlebell at him.

Justin Combs played as a defensive back for the UCLA Bruins football team, a position for which he scored a $54,000 scholarship, despite his father’s vast $550 million fortune.
Diddy was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. While Combs admitted there had been an altercation, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office declined to press charges.
Today, Justin works as the Vice President of Content and Brand Strategy at his father’s company, Combs Enterprises, a post he has held since 2017.
According to the federal indictment of Combs, he ‘relied’ on the ‘employees, resources and influence’ of his business empire to carry out his alleged crimes. There are no specific allegations against Justin Combs in the indictment.
Christian ‘King’ Combs, 26, is the biological child of Sean Combs and ex-partner Kim Porter, who passed away in 2018 from pneumonia.
Like his father, Christian is accused of sexual abuse.
In April of this year, a female steward on the Combs’ family yacht came forward to allege that Christian assaulted her on the boat in 2022.
The woman, Grace O’Marcaigh, claimed in court papers that she had been hired the staff ‘a wholesome family excursion’ but that it turned into a ‘hedonistic nightmare’.
According to the court documents, a ‘heavily intoxicated.’ Christian started paying an ‘inappropriate’ amount of attention to O’Marcaigh and pressured her to drink alcohol that, she claims in the lawsuit, she suspected had been laced with drugs.
In April, her lawyer said: ‘It gives us no joy or pleasure in filing this suit against Christian Combs who has clearly adopted his father’s pattern and practice of depravity.’
The attorney wrote: ‘like father, like son.’
The lawsuit was filed in April of 2024 – and ongoing
When Combs’s Los Angeles Holmby Hills mansion was raided by U.S. federal law enforcement in March, Christian was removed from the home in handcuffs.
Christian Combs was reportedly not put under arrest but was detained as agents searched the property.
Like his father, Christian is accused of sexual abuse. In April of this year, a female steward on the Combs’ family yacht came forward to allege that Christian assaulted her on the boat.
Just one week later, however, he celebrated his 26th birthday with a lavish bash which he proudly boasted about on his Instagram story with the caption ‘it’s lit’.
In one picture, he displayed a dangling diamond chain as a woman sat on his lap.
Combs’s adopted son Quincy Taylor Brown is the biological son of Kim Porter and singer Al B. Sure!.
In the wake of the federal raids on Sean Combs’s Los Angeles and Miami homes in March, Mr. Sure! begged his son to come home: ‘#LettertoMySon! Come Home. The door is wide open. You’re safe here son!’.
Mr. Sure! has alleged that Kim Porter’s death was suspicious. In a now-deleted Instagram post, Sure! claimed that Porter had been ‘running’ from someone or something in the days before her death and that he had told her to call the FBI.
There is no suggestion that Quincy has engaged in any illegal or disreputable behavior.
And while the Combs brothers supported their accused father in court, the four younger sisters kept a low profile.
Combs’s 17-year-old twin daughters, D’Lila and Jessie, are reportedly being looked after by a close from of their late mother, Kim Porter, in Los Angeles.

Not that the influencer twins have been shy of publicity.
They’ve appeared happy to flaunt their lavish lifestyle despite the series of explosive allegations directed at their father in recent months.
Two weeks ago, for example, the twins posted a casual ‘Get Ready With Us’ video on their popular shared Instagram account, which boasts more 700,000 followers.
In August, they posted a bikini picture by the pool at their Miami mansion while in April, a month after high-profile raids at their father’s properties, they shared pictures of a luxury vacation to the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean.
The twins enjoy a life of privilege, attending the private $44,000-a-year Sierra Canyon High School in Los Angeles.
Combs himself performed for guests at their ‘sweet 16 bash’ in December 2022.
The pair wore two silver metallic space jumpsuits complete with glow-in-the-dark goggles, followed by three-piece outfits complete with crop top, hot pants and boots with luminescent outlining.
Later, Diddy led his screaming daughters outside to where one black and one white Ranger Rover were parled in the driveway, each adorned with a big red bow.
Chance Combs, 18, is the eldest of the four girls and the daughter of businesswoman Sarah Chapman.
Chance, too, seems happy to reveal details of her luxurious lifestyle and close relationship with her hip-hop mogul father.
Combs famously brought Chance – then 16 and dressed in white Dolce & Gabana – as his ‘date’ to the 2022 Academy Awards.

‘I’m speechless – I am speechless,’ he gushed. ‘Baby, you look so beautiful, so beautiful.’
Chance, who currently attends the prestigious $50,000-a-year Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, told the red-carpet interviewer that she would like to be an actress.
On December 10, 2022, Combs disclosed that he had fathered yet another child.
The mother is model Dana Tran.
Baby Love Combs will turn two years old in October.
Tran has yet to comment on the father’s extraordinary predicament.
