Diddy and mom
Mother of musician Sean “Diddy” Combs, Janice Small Combs, has spoken out in defense of her son following his arrest on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
In a statement, she expressed being “devastated and profoundly saddened” by the allegations, calling them “lies” and insisting that her son is “not the monster they have painted him to be.”
Diddy, known for hits like ‘I’ll Be Missing You’, was arrested last month and is currently being held in a Manhattan detention centre after being denied bail.
His mother acknowledged her son’s past mistakes but argued that he is being judged based on false narratives.
The statement, released through the family’s lawyer, Natalie G. Figgers, comes as Diddy faces potential lawsuits from over 100 accusers, with previous allegations dating back to last year when his former partner, Cassie Ventura, accused him of rape and abuse—a case that was settled out of court.
Diddy’s legal team has denied all charges, describing them as “false and defamatory.” His next court appearance is scheduled for October 9, where his lawyers will again seek bail.
