Sean “Diddy” Combs has posted on Instagram for the first time since he was arrested and slammed with sex trafficking charges.
Combs, 54, wished his two-year-old daughter Love a happy birthday just one day after more sick accusations surfaced in a slew of new lawsuits.
On Tuesday, Combs shared several pictures of his little girl, who he fathered with cyber security specialist Dana Tran, and wrote out the lyrics to Happy Birthday in the caption.
One picture showed Combs laughing while he played with Love in the ocean, and other shots showed the toddler digging into a birthday cake while wearing a white dress.
“Happy Birthday @loveseancombs daddy loves you,” Combs wrote.
A birthday post on the little girl’s Instagram account, which is run by her mom, said that Love can sing her ABCs, count to 50, cook, and sing.
The mom wrote, “2 years of life and love.”
Little is known about Tran, whose online presence centres around spending time with little Love.
The two were reported to have gotten married earlier this year, but this was never confirmed, and one source told Us Weekly that it wasn’t true.
It’s been one month since Combs was arrested as a federal indictment accused him of sex trafficking for his perverse parties called freak-offs.
At the parties, Combs would allegedly film high-profile guests as they had sex with prostitutes who he flew out from around the country and use the video as blackmail. In the past several weeks, Combs has been hit with a flurry of additional claims of sexual assault, rape, violence, and manipulation by accusers ranging from music hopefuls to complete strangers.
Six of the suits were filed on Monday, and the accusers consist of two women and four men, one of whom says he was 16 years old when Combs allegedly sexually assaulted him.
One of the suits alleges that Combs orally raped a male Macy’s store worker in an Ecko stockroom at the flagship location in New York City.
Combs and three bodyguards stormed the stockroom and hit the worker on the back of the neck before the mogul started “brutally” assaulting him because he worked for the rival apparel brand Ecko to Combs’ Sean John, the suit claims.
The rapper allegedly spewed insults and called the victim “Ecko” before walking back out to the salesfloor and promoting his new clothing line as if nothing happened.
The accuser told Macy’s security about the incident, but nothing was done and he was later fired, the suit alleges.
Another lawsuit claims Combs groped a 16-year-old boy after convincing him it was a rite of passage to succeed in the music industry.
At a Long Island party in 1996, Combs, who was then 28, told the teen to take off his pants and said, “Don’t you want to break into the business?” according to the suit.
Meanwhile, in yet another suit, a female accuser said Combs raped her after luring her into a locked hotel room by saying there was a party.
Combs is being held in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn and has been denied bail twice.
He’s facing sex trafficking and racketeering charges, and his trial date has been set for May 5 of next year.
Federal investigators raided Combs’ homes earlier this year, where they uncovered over 1,000 bottles of baby oil to be used for the freak-offs, the indictment alleges.
Freak-off guests spent days engaging in drug-fuelled antics and were given IV drips afterward to help recover, according to prosecutors.
Last month, a singer exclusively claimed to The U.S. Sun that she escaped one of Diddy’s sex parties when she was just 16 years old.
Combs has maintained his innocence since he was hit with charges and could face a minimum of 15 years in prison if he’s convicted.
His alleged crimes were first publicly thrust into the limelight after his ex Cassie Ventura claimed that she suffered years of abuse in a bombshell suit filed in November 2023. Both parties settled the suit a day after it was filed, but stories hauntingly similar to her allegations continue to appear in new filings.
