Sean "Diddy" Combs' children are standing by his side as he awaits his sentencing following a sex-crimes trial that forever altered the fabric of the music mogul's life.

While Combs' defense team has asked for leniency, requesting a sentence of 14 months for the two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution for which he was convicted, prosecutors have urged a sentence of 11 years.

Six of Combs' seven children spoke through tears in support of their father during impact statements in court Friday, Oct. 3.

Combs' daughters, Chance, Jessie and D'Lila Combs grew emotional during their father's hearing, breaking down in tears as they asked Judge Arun Subramanian to release him. The music mogul looked at his sniffling children with his head in his hands.

"We know he isn't perfect," Jessie said, adding that they don't mean to excuse him, but "Your Honor, he is still our dad."

Chance Combs said they've experienced a "huge emptiness" this past year while Combs was behind bars. "We're still just daughters who need our father," she said, noting that Combs is more patient and thoughtful as he works to become "a better man."

How many children does Diddy have?

Diddy has seven children, six of them biological, ranging in age from 2 to 33.

Diddy's children remain supportive

The embattled music mogul's kids − Quincy Brown, Justin Combs, Christian Combs, Chance Combs, D'Lila Combs and Jessie Combs − have remained steadfast in their support of him throughout a months-long trial that included accusations of sexual and domestic violence.

In a joint statement in October, his kids said their father has been judged "based on accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that have spiraled into absurdity on social media," adding, "We stand united, supporting you every step of the way." Combs has also pleaded not guilty to all counts against him.

A few of Combs' adult children have been implicated in his legal troubles. His son Justin Combs was named as a defendant in a sexual assault and sex trafficking lawsuit brought by music producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones. According to the suit, the eldest Combs son was present during an altercation at a recording studio, in which Diddy or Justin Combs is alleged to have shot a man, referred to simply as "G."

Justin Combs is also alleged to have been involved in Diddy's "sex-trafficking venture." The complaint claimed Justin Combs solicited "prostitutes, underaged girls, and sex workers" and participated in "freak offs" (a term Combs allegedly used to refer to sexual encounters with sex workers).

Combs' youngest son, Christian "King" Combs was also named in the lawsuit. According to the complaint, Lil Rod witnessed the rapper "drugging and sexually assaulting a woman." King was also sued in 2024 for allegedly assaulting a woman on a yacht in 2022.
