Diddy born as Sean Combs, Diddy has been known by many names over the years, including Puff Daddy, Puffy, P. Diddy, and Love. But to his children, he’s simply “Dad.” Recently, the rapper made headlines for his arrest on September 16, when he was charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. While Diddy remains in custody in New York, he is the father of seven children, one of whom is adopted. The “I Need a Girl” singer welcomed his kids from four different relationships, including his on-again, off-again romance with Kim Porter, who sadly died in 2018. On December 10, 2022 he also shocked the world with the announcement of baby number seven: Love Sean Combs. “I’m so blessed to welcome my baby girl Love Sean Combs to the world. Mama Combs, Quincy, Justin, Christian, Chance, D’Lila, Jessie and myself all love you so much! God is the Greatest!” he tweeted.
Over the years, Diddy has always put his children first and has been there for them every step of the way.

Below is everything you should know about the rapper’s seven children.
Quincy Taylor Brown is Diddy’s eldest child. He is the biological son of Kim and singer Albert Joseph Brown (Al B. Sure!) and was eventually adopted by Diddy after the rapper started a relationship with Kim when Quincy was 4. Diddy and Kim raised Quincy along with their three other children, and when he turned 16, they even threw him a huge party in Atlanta that was featured on MTV’s My Super Sweet 16.
Quincy is an actor, and has appeared in five films. He starred in the hit Fox show Star from 2016 to 2019, and most recently, is featured in the Starz drama series Power Book III: Raising Kanan, which is a spinoff-off to Power. Aside from his acting career, Quincy has also released a number of singles, started his own production company called FourXample, and created a watch line called Chalk by Quincy and a jeans collection with Embellish.
Quincy lost his mom Kim in 2018 due to complications from pneumonia, and since then he’s been open about grieving the tragic death. In March 2021, Quincy honored his mother for Women’s History Month and told PEOPLE, “She definitely was and still is the most important woman in my life. Any time something comes across my way and I think of her first, that means something, and this is one of those no-brainers. She’s had that much of an impact on me to where I can talk about her every day for the rest of my life.”
