Sean “Diddy” Combs appeared in court on Thursday (October 10) and had support from several of his family members.
The 54-year-old rapper’s six children, as well as his mother Janice, were all in attendance for a hearing where he received a start date for his sex trafficking trial.
In attendance showing their support at the NYC federal court were Quincy, 33, Justin, 30, King, 26, Chance, 18, and 17-year-old twins D’Lila and Jessie.
A source close to the family also opened up about Diddy‘s kids supporting him through this time.

“The kids were very happy to support their father,” the source told People. “The whole family was. They are united in their support and he was happy to see them all there.”
When arriving in the courtroom, Diddy reportedly waved at his family and hugged his attorneys.
The rapper has been behind bars in Brooklyn while awaiting trial, and has been denied bail by two different judges. His attorneys have filed another appeal to get him released before the trial.
Diddy has pled not guilty, and will go to trial in May 2025 for the charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Earlier this week, Diddy‘s mom released a lengthy statement in support of her son.
In late September, Diddy and Kim Porter‘s children – Quincy, King and the twins – released a statement slamming claims that their mother wrote a book before her death in 2018.
