Quincy Brown, the son of Kim Porter and producer Al B. Sure!, honored Sean “Diddy” Combs with a message of support, saying that all of his children stand behind the incarcerated music mogul.
Quincy Taylor Brown is lending his support to Sean “Diddy” Combs.
The 33-year-old son of Kim Porter and producer Al B. Sure!, who was adopted by Diddy after the music mogul started dating Kim when Quincy was 3, shared a tribute to the Bad Boy Records founder.
“The past month has devastated our family,” Quincy posted on Instagram Oct. 22 alongside a photo of Diddy with his kids and family. “Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that have spiraled into absurdity on social media.”
The image featured Diddy, Quincy, Justin Combs, 30, Christian Combs, 26, Chance Combs, 18, twins D’Lila and Jessie Combs, 17, and his youngest daughter Love Sean Combs, 22 months, as well as Love’s mom Dana Tran, and Diddy’s mom Janice Combs.
“We stand united, supporting you every step of the way,” Quincy continued his caption on the post which his siblings collaborated on. “We hold onto the truth, knowing it will prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family. WE MISS YOU & LOVE YOU DAD.”
Diddy is currently in prison awaiting trial on charges of racketeering, trafficking, and prostitution, which he has pled not guilty to. His trial is set for May. But in the meantime, new allegations have been coming in regarding the “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper, including multiple allegations of rape and sexual assault.
On Oct. 20, a new series of five civil lawsuits were filed against Diddy on behalf of two men and three women. Among the allegations detailed, which include claims that Diddy sexually assaulted or raped the plaintiffs in individual incidents between 2000 and 2022, was one claim from an anonymous female plaintiff that she was raped at the age of 13 by Diddy and an unnamed male celebrity.
In response to the new filings, Diddy’s lawyers referred E! News to a previous statement, claiming the “barrage of filings” were attempts to “garner publicity.”
“Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts, their legal defenses, and the integrity of the judicial process,” his lawyers told E! News. “In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone—adult or minor, man or woman.”
Diddy’s legal team also filed a motion on Oct. 20, shared with E! News, “to request an order prohibiting further extrajudicial statements from prospective witnesses and their lawyers that substantially interfere with Mr. Combs’s right to a fair trial.”

Sean “Diddy” Combs remanded
After Sean “Diddy” Combs pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges on Sept. 17, his legal team proposed a $50 million bond package that included equity in his Miami home and his mother’s house, as well as limited his travel to within certain parts of Florida, New York and New Jersey.
The defense also offered, per a letter obtained by E! News, to “walk the Court through a series of actions taken by Mr. Combs over the past six months that prove that he is not a risk of flight or a danger to anyone in the community.”
U.S. Magistrate Judge Robyn F. Tarnofsky rejected the package and ordered that Combs be remanded without bail. He remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
Combs’ Lawyer Says Rapper Is Getting Treatment and Therapy
“He is not a perfect person,” Combs’ attorney Marc Agnifilo told the court, per NBC New York. “There has been drug use. He has been in toxic relationships.”
Therefore, he added, his client was getting “treatment and therapy for things that he needs treatment and therapy for.”
Overall, though, Combs’ “spirits are good,” the lawyer told reporters after court Sept. 17. “He’s confident.”
Combs Creates a Slippery Situation
More than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and personal lubricant were seized during the March 2024 raids on Combs’ L.A. and Miami homes, according to the 14-page indictment unsealed Sept. 17.
Per the indictment, the oil and lube were stockpiled for use in so-called “freak-offs,” the term Combs used for gatherings in which he allegedly orchestrated sexual encounters between women he coerced and threatened into doing his bidding and male sex workers.
“I don’t know where the number 1,000 came,” his attorney Agnifilo said in the TMZ documentary The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment, which premiered Sept. 27. Pondering out loud why anyone would need so much, the lawyer added, “He has a big house, he buys in bulk. I think they have Costcos in every place where he has a home.”
Costco, meanwhile, wanted no part of it, telling TMZ in a statement that “none” of its U.S. stores carry baby oil.
Alleged Combs texts read in court
In May 2024, CNN published a clip of hotel surveillance video from 2016 that appeared to show Combs attacking his then-girlfriend Cassie, born Cassandra Ventura. (The assault matched up with an alleged incident detailed in the lawsuit she filed against Combs on Nov. 16, 2023; both parties announced a settlement the next day.)
“I was f–ked up. I hit rock bottom,” Combs said in a video posted to Instagram in response to the footage. “But I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video.” He had gone to therapy and rehab since, he added, and was “committed to be a better man each and every day.”
During a Sept. 18 hearing on Combs’ second request for bail, Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson said, per NBC News, that Combs allegedly sent a text in the days following the assault that read, “Call me, the cops are here.” Another read, “I have six kids. Call, I’m surrounded.”
Johnson did not say Cassie’s name in court. She said that Combs’ victim replied via text, “Sick you think it’s OK to do what you’ve done.”
Bail was once again denied, this time by U.S. District Judge Andrew L. Carter Jr.
The Combs case is set for trial
On Oct. 3, the Combs case was reassigned to Judge Arun Subramanian because Carter was unable to accommodate a trial date.
During an Oct. 10 status hearing, Subramanian set a trial date of May 5, 2025.
Prosecutor Johnson told the judge she expected the trial to last roughly three weeks, but said there was still the possibility that a superseding indictment could lead to more charges against Combs.
Agnifilo said in court they’d need about a week to put on their case.
Meanwhile, the attorney said in the TMZ doc that Combs was looking forward to testifying in his own defense.
“I don’t know that I could keep him off the stand,” Agnifilo said. “I think he is very eager to tell his story.”
