Sean Diddy Combs’ children released an audio clip of a phone call from their father, who is currently in custody, on his 55th birthday.
Diddy is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn as he awaits trial.
In September, Combs was arrested at the Park Hyatt hotel in Manhattan and charged with racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, charges he has denied.
Recently, over 100 individuals have made allegations of sexual assault against the rapper.
On October 1, attorney Tony Buzbee announced in Houston that he represents numerous men and women accusing Diddy of sexual abuse, with some claims dating back to 1991.
“This is an important matter that we intend to aggressively pursue,” Buzbee stated at a news conference as reported by The Los Angeles Times. “We will leave no stone unturned to find all potentially liable parties, to include any individual or entity who participated in or benefited from this egregious behavior.”
Following these allegations, Diddy issued a statement via his attorney Erica Wolff.
Wolff informed UNILAD: “As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus.
“That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors. He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”
For his 55th birthday, Diddy’s son shared a video of him speaking on the phone from prison.
In the clip, Diddy’s youngest daughter is seen singing ‘Happy Birthday daddy’ surrounded by their family.
The video was posted on Instagram with the caption: “Happy Birthday Pops! We love you.”
“I love y’all so much. I can’t wait to see y’all,” Diddy tells Quincy, Justin, Christian, Chance, D’Lila, Jessie, and Love. “I just want to say I’m proud of y’all, especially the girls. I mean all of y’all but just for being strong.
“Thank y’all for being strong and thank y’all for being by my side, supporting me. I love y’all. I got the best family in the world. My birthday. I’m happy. Thank y’all for giving me this call. I love y’all.”
Earlier, Diddy’s kids publicly expressed their support for him in a statement.
They wrote on social media: “The past month has devastated our family. Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories and false narratives that have spiraled into absurdity on social media.
“We stand united, supporting you every step of the way. We hold onto the truth, knowing it will prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family. We miss you and love you Dad.”
