Sean “Diddy” Combs’ seven kids are reportedly “in a state of crisis and shock” after federal authorities arrested the mogul last week for sex trafficking, and he’s only “briefly” spoken to them since.
The 54-year-old Harlem-born rapper and music exec, who is on suicide watch while awaiting trial, has only spoken “to family members and his children via phone,” an insider with knowledge of the situation told People this week.
Combs is “very concerned” about his brood “and their well-being,” said that source.

“It’s heartbreaking to see the children in the state they’re in,” said a second source. “This is their father. But to them, he’s not Diddy — he’s Dad. He has always been a loving, devoted father.”
The first source added that three of Combs’ kids, who are minors, “now have no living parent available with him incarcerated.
“Four of his seven children have neither parent available with him incarcerated,” said that insider.
Combs shares Christian, 26, and 17-year-old twin daughters Jessie and D’Lila with model and actress Kim Porter, who died in 2018. Combs adopted Porter’s son, 33-year-old Quincy, whom she shared with her ex-husband, R&B singer Al B Sure.
Combs is also dad to Justin, 30, with stylist Misa Hylton, as well as daughter Chance, 18, with Sarah Chapman. In Oct. 2022, he welcomed daughter Love with Dana Tran.
On Sept. 16, Combs, who has pleaded not guilty, was charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. He’s twice been denied bail.
The charges follow Homeland Security’s raids on Diddy’s properties in March and a string of lawsuits that erupted after Diddy’s ex, Cassie Ventura, filed a bombshell suit against him in November, alleging rape, sex trafficking and abuse.
The suit was settled the following day and 2016 footage of Combs beating the R&B singer, now 38, surfaced in May, after which he admitted to and apologized for the harrowing attack. Many of the suits that followed Ventura’s accused Combs of sexual assault, drugging and other heinous acts.
