On May 12, 2025, Sean “Diddy” Combs’ children arrived at the federal courthouse in Manhattan for the opening of his sex-trafficking and racketeering trial.
His family—including Quincy Brown, Justin Dior Combs, Christian “King” Combs, Chance Combs, and twins D’Lila and Jessie Combs—joined their father in a show of public support. His youngest, Love Sean Combs, was not present.

The trial opened with jury selection and stark testimony from Daniel Phillip, a male stripper who alleged Combs physically assaulted Cassie Ventura and observed her in sexual acts he had orchestrated.
As Phillip described an incident involving himself and Ventura while Combs reportedly watched, daughters D’Lila and Jessie left the courtroom briefly, returning once the testimony concluded.
This trial marks a pivotal moment for the music mogul, who has denied all charges and maintains his innocence. His sons—Justin, Christian, and Quincy—remained in court throughout, seated behind their father. Notably, Justin has been named in a related civil suit, while Christian faces separate allegations of assault.

In a previous family statement, the Combs children described the accusations against their father as “conspiracy theories” and pledged their support. Their attendance signals a unified public stance as the high-profile proceedings unfold.
The trial is expected to last several weeks, with multiple witnesses scheduled to testify. If convicted, Combs could face over 20 years in prison.
Proceedings continue as the court navigates testimonies and mounting evidence.
