Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Son, Christian ‘King’ Combs, Once Explained How He Only Trusts His Family
Federal agents arrested hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs in September 2024 following the Homeland Security raid on his two properties in March 2024. Diddy now faces charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. His family members continue to rally behind him, and his son, Christian “King” Combs, was recently seen out partying amid his father’s controversies. Here’s what Christian once said about how he understands who to trust in his inner circle.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ son, Christian ‘King’ Combs, described how he knows who he can trust in his life
Sean “Diddy” Combs has seven children, and he’s extremely close with Christian “King” Combs. Christian was Diddy and Kim Porter’s first biological child, and he followed in his father’s footsteps by breaking into the music industry. He knew since childhood that he wanted to break into music and make it big.
Christian has talked a lot about his famous family and growing up as Diddy’s son. In 2023, he spoke on the Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FM station about the Bad Boy legacy. He also reflected on how he knows who to trust in a notoriously difficult industry as Diddy’s son.
“I try to stay close with family,” Christian explained. “You look at the people I be around; you can pull up a picture 10 years ago. You see all the same people. I just stay close to my family. New friends are cool and stuff like that, but you gotta kind of know who’s genuine. A lot of people just want something from you and really have ulterior motives.”
Christian also reflected on what he learned as a child growing up in the music business. He explained that you have to “stay humble and be grateful for everything that comes your way,” because “the tables could turn” at any time.
Christian ‘King’ Combs was spotted partying with his girlfriend after attending his father’s court appearance
Christian “King” Combs isn’t afraid to show support for his father, Sean “Diddy” Combs. However, he’s not allowing the downfall of Diddy’s legacy to stop him from partying. Christian was spotted dancing with his girlfriend, Raven Tracy, at a club just two days after attending his father’s court appearance in October 2024.
A clip of Christian at the club with his girlfriend shows him circling a shot of tequila around her head as she dances. He then takes the shot of tequila and holds it up to Tracy’s mouth, encouraging her to drink from it, according to Us Weekly. Christian also says he has “the baddest girl in the world” in the clip.
Christian wasn’t the only family member to attend the hearing. Quincy Brown, 33, Justin Combs, 30, Chance Combs, twins Jessie and D’Lila Combs, 17, and Diddy’s mother, Janice Combs, also sat in.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ kids are allegedly in ‘shock’ over the charges brought against him
A source told People that Sean “Diddy” Combs has spoken to his children while residing at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Diddy will stay there while he awaits his May 2025 trial.
“He is very concerned about his kids and their well-being,” an insider told People. “He has three minor children, two of whom now have no living parent available with him incarcerated. Four of his seven children have neither parent available with him incarcerated.”
Another insider said Diddy’s kids are “in a state of crisis and shock” over the charges. “It’s heartbreaking to see the children in the state they’re in,” they added. “This is their father. But to them, he’s not Diddy — he’s Dad. He has always been a loving, devoted father.”
