"Someone in their PR campaign fired this family as a client": Internet reacts as Diddy's son reveals he's taking over dad's IG account
Diddy, also known as Sean John Combs, is currently awaiting trial, scheduled for May 5, 2025. The rapper was arrested in September this year on charges of s*x trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Diddy is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
Meanwhile, Sean's son King Combs posted a video on November 6, 2024, on his father's Instagram page, revealing that he would be operating the account from now on.
King was heard saying in the clip:
"It's King Kong and right now I'm taking over my pops Instagram. We going to be posting videos by spreading, you know, good energy and taking y'all down memory lane and all the positive things he did. So stay tuned and watch this. Let's go. We love you pops. Happy birthday."
Notably, Sean last used the account on the occasion of his youngest daughter Love's birthday on October 15. He added a lineup of Love's photos in his post and wrote in the caption:
"Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday baby Love! Happy Birthday to you!! Happy Birthday @loveseancombs daddy loves you."
After King announced that he was taking over his father's Instagram page, two more videos were shared. One of them included a birthday tribute for Diddy as the caption reads:
"My Pops motivation to making music is always to make us dance and feel good. Happy Birthday Pops!!!"
A glimpse of King Combs' announcement was obtained by The Shade Room and netizens took to the comments section of their Instagram post to share their reactions. One of them also wrote:
"Someone in their PR campaign fired this family as a client."
Most of the users were spotted seemingly addressing their dissatisfaction with Sean's social media page becoming operational. A person also requested everyone to report the account with another user questioning why King's Instagram page was so important.
Diddy's kids celebrate his birthday as he speaks to them on call
The New York City native recently turned 55 on Monday, November 4. While a tribute video has been already posted on his Instagram page after King Combs confirmed his decision to operate the page, another clip was shared by his son Justin Dior on the same day.
Apart from Justin, other kids were also spotted in the video, including Quincy, Christian, Chance, Jessie, D'Lila, and Love, who spoke to their father on call. While the kids began singing "Happy Birthday" for Sean in the video, the latter said that he loved all of them and could not wait to see them. He further stated:
"I just want to say I'm proud of y'all, especially the girls. I mean all of y'all but just for being strong. Thank y'all for being strong and thank y'all for being by my side, supporting me. I love y'all. I got the best family in the world. My birthday. I'm happy. Thank y'all for giving me this call."
Diddy's alleged victims have been continuously speaking up against him, accusing him of s*xual assault and r*pe. While six more cases were filed last month, his family shared a statement through social media, saying that the allegations against Sean have left an impact on them and continued:
"We stand united, supporting you every step of the way. We hold onto the truth, knowing it will prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family. We miss you & love you dad."
As mentioned, Diddy was taken into the Brooklyn-based Metropolitan Detention Center after his arrest and his trial date has been finalized for May 5, 2025.
