The lives of Sean 'Diddy' Combs' three sons remain under a harsh public spotlight. This follows their father's conviction on serious charges, his subsequent 50-month prison sentence, and the explosive release of the Netflix documentary series, Sean Combs: The Reckoning. As the family grapples with this dual crisis—the patriarch's imprisonment and the damning allegations in the docuseries—Quincy, Justin, and Christian Combs have each tried to forge their own paths in the entertainment world while publicly standing by their father, even as one battles his own severe legal allegations.
Quincy and Justin Combs: Pillars of Support and Public Defence
Quincy Combs, the 34-year-old eldest son, adopted by Diddy during his relationship with the late model Kim Porter, has built a career in acting and music. He has appeared in shows like Power Book III: Raising Kanan and released his album Sleepover? in November 2025. Despite his independent success, Quincy became a central figure of support during his father's trial. In a powerful court statement, he offered a spirited defence, asserting the family's unconditional love and claiming to have witnessed a profound personal transformation in Combs through the ordeal.
Similarly, Justin Dior Combs, 31—Diddy's son with fashion designer Misa Hylton—has focused on a media career after graduating from UCLA. He previously co-hosted Respectfully Justin on Revolt TV and acted in Power Book II: Ghost. At the sentencing hearing, Justin fiercely defended his father's character, describing the disgraced mogul as a "superhero" who had changed for the better, reinforcing the unified front presented by the Combs children.
Christian 'King Combs' and His Parallel Legal Battle
The narrative for Christian Casey Combs, 27, Diddy's first biological child with Kim Porter, has been the most turbulent. Performing as King Combs, he released his EP Never Stop in June 2025. It featured the defiant track "Diddy Free," a collaboration with Kanye West that directly addressed his father's legal situation. However, Christian is simultaneously fighting serious legal troubles of his own.
In April 2024, a lawsuit was filed accusing Christian Combs of sexual assault and harassment involving an employee on a yacht chartered by his father. While his legal team has dismissed the accusations as a "lewd and meritless claim," the case remains ongoing. This draws uncomfortable parallels to the charges his father faced, adding another layer of complexity to the family's public struggles.
The Impact of 'Sean Combs: The Reckoning'
The four-part Netflix docuseries, Sean Combs: The Reckoning, produced by 50 Cent and directed by Alexandria Stapleton, has intensified the scrutiny. It chronicles Diddy's rise and fall, focusing heavily on the sexual misconduct allegations that led to his conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. The series includes exclusive footage from the days before his September 2024 arrest, which Combs' legal team labelled "stolen" and part of a "shameful hit piece."
While 50 Cent has framed the series as a platform for victims, pledging proceeds to sexual assault survivors, critics see it as grimly necessary viewing that cements the dismantling of the Bad Boy founder's legacy. For Diddy's sons, the documentary represents another public reckoning they must navigate as they strive to protect their family name and advance their individual careers amidst ongoing legal and media storms.
