King Combs, the son of Sean “Diddy” Combs, remains optimistic about the possibility of his father’s early release from prison. The 27-year-old expressed his hopefulness to a TMZ cameraman at Los Angeles International Airport on November 24, stating, “He’s gonna be on the way home.”
When asked about the potential for a presidential pardon for his father, King mentioned that he is keeping his “fingers crossed.” Although there have been rumors suggesting President Donald Trump might consider granting a pardon, the White House has previously dismissed these claims, denying any plans to pardon the embattled music mogul.
King also shared that he maintains regular communication with his father and reported that Diddy is holding up well during his prison sentence. This ongoing connection offers King some comfort as he navigates the situation.
In anticipation of his upcoming sentencing, letters of support were submitted by Diddy’s children and several former partners, attesting to his character. The 55-year-old, who was convicted in July on two counts related to the transportation for prostitution, is scheduled to be sentenced on Friday, October 3. Despite the charges, Diddy has maintained his innocence, having pleaded not guilty to all accusations.
“He’s doing good, everything is good,” he said. “He’ll be home soon.”
Diddy has been behind bars since his September 2024 arrest on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. Diddy pleaded not guilty to the charges and denied all the allegations against him.
Amid his legal woes, Diddy’s family remained by his side. In addition to King, Diddy is the father of son Justin, daughter Chance, twins D’Lila and Jessie and daughter Dana. He is also the adoptive father of the late Kim Porter’s son Quincy Brown, whom she welcomed with singer Al B Sure!
In July, Diddy went on trial. A jury found the disgraced music mogul guilty on two counts of transportation. He was acquitted of the other, more serious charges. Three months later, Judge Arun Subramanian sentenced Diddy to just over four years in prison plus five years of supervised release and a $500,000 fine. The 13 months he spent behind bars before and during his trial will count toward his sentence. His release date is set for June 4, 2028, according to the Bureau of Prisons website.
Prior to Diddy’s September sentence, his children and additional loved ones submitted letters to the judge on Diddy’s behalf during his hearing.
“I’m asking you to please let my father out of jail!” King wrote. “He does not deserve to be there and I know this from the bottom of my heart!! We have been through a year of lies and discrimination and dehumanization and loneliness and separation and extreme stress on the family. This is my dad and he is the best father in the whole world. He has never ever taught me anything but to treat people with the most respect possible and to never be entitled and to always work for what I want and to treat people with love and kindness most importantly!”
Before his trial, Diddy was incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Last month, Diddy was transferred to Fort Dix in New Jersey on October 30.
Following his transfer, Diddy was photographed for the first time since last year. (There were no cameras allowed in the court during Diddy’s trial and a court sketch artist was used to render images.)
Diddy was photographed in the prison yard at Fort Dix, smiling and conversing with his fellow inmates. One of the individuals was former NBA star Sebastian Telfair, who is in prison for violating his probation over a healthcare fraud conviction.
In a recent cover story for Us Weekly, Diddy’s spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer, gave an update on how the rapper was doing.
“He’s met some nice people,” Engelmayer told Us earlier this month. “People have been kind to him.”
According to Engelmayer, Diddy is enjoying his job in the chapel library, which is one of the most wanted assignments.
“He finds it comforting and rewarding, and he gets to help other inmates out with their reading [and] their needs,” Engelmayer explained, adding that “everyone assists the chaplain.”
