Everything Diddy's Kids Have Said About Their Father's Crimes (Including His Daughters' Speeches in Court) By Christopher Rudolph

Throughout his trial and sentencing, Sean “Diddy” Combs’ children supported him.

In July 2025, Combs was convicted on two prostitution-related charges, and in October 2025, he was sentenced to 50 months in jail. Factoring in credit for time already served, the music mogul is scheduled to serve about three years, per NBC News.

The rapper and his crimes are the subject of the new four-part documentary series, Sean Combs: The Reckoning, which premiered on Dec. 2 on Netflix. It features exclusive interviews with those who worked with Combs, and it also contains footage filmed “in the six days leading up to his arrest and indictment,” according to Tudum.

Six of Comb’s seven kids were at his Oct. 3 sentencing, where they delivered personal statements, pleading with the court to give their father a reduced sentence.

Here’s what Sean Combs’ children have said about his sentencing and crimes, as well as whether they have spoken publicly about the Netflix docuseries.

Six of Combs’ kids attended his hearing

Combs is the father of seven children, six of whom attended his hearing in October 2025.

Those present at the sentencing were Quincy, Justin, Christian, Chance, D’Lila and Jessie.

His youngest, Love — who was born in 2022 — did not attend the court date, according to TMZ.

All of his children made personal statements to the court

All six of Combs’ children who were present spoke at the sentencing. According to CNN, they stood together at a podium in the courtroom as they made their statements.

“We’re going to love him unconditionally through his struggles,” Quincy said, who was the first of Combs’ kids to address the court. “But in front of you and in front of us is a changed man.”

“Our father has learned a major lesson,” he continued. “Week after week, we’ve seen him evolve, something we haven’t seen in 15 years. He’s completely transformed.”

According to NBC News, Christian said his dad was “the greatest in the world.” Combs’ third eldest noted, “He is my hero, has always been my hero, and always will be my hero. He always taught me to treat women with respect.”

In her remarks, Jessie acknowledged that her dad “isn’t perfect and he has made many mistakes and we aren’t here to excuse any of those mistakes,” per CNN. She added, “But your honor, he is still our dad, and we still need him present in our lives.”

D’Lila asked the judge for “the chance” for the family “to heal together.” She continued, “To rebuild, to change, to move forward, not as a headline but as human beings who are trying to do better.”

Meanwhile, Chance shared, “We’re still just daughters who need our father,” revealing that their dad was “working on becoming a better man and a more present father.”

Love was not present, but according to CNN, she was brought up by D’Lila, who said, “We are scared for our 2-year-old little sister that runs to us every night asking where daddy is. We cannot watch our baby sister grow up fatherless the same way we had to grow up fatherless.”

Justin said his dad is his “superhero”

During his statement, Combs’ son, Justin, pleaded with the court, asking that his dad be given “a second chance,” CNN reported.

“A second chance at life, a second chance to right his wrongs, a second chance to be the man he truly is,” he continued.

Justin called his dad his “superhero,” adding that he has “changed for the better.”

“Your honor, I believe my father still has so much more to give the world and, more importantly, so much more to give his children,” he continued.

Combs apologized to his kids, “Y’all deserve better”

In his final remarks before sentencing, Combs apologized to those in his life, including his seven children, saying he had “failed as a father.”

“I’m so sorry. Y’all deserve better,” he continued, per the New York Post. “To my mother, mommy, I failed you as a son. I’m sorry. You taught me better. You raised me better.”

His children have not spoken out about the Netflix docuseries

The rapper’s children have not spoken publicly about Sean Combs: The Reckoning, which debuted on Netflix on Dec. 2.

His family has not made any public remarks, but according to the BBC, a spokesman for Combs said the documentary “relied on stolen footage” and is “a shameful hit piece.”

Director Alexandria Stapleton defended the use, telling Tudum, “It came to us, we obtained the footage legally and have the necessary rights.”

“One thing about Sean Combs is that he’s always filming himself, and it’s been an obsession throughout the decades,” she added.
