Sean “Diddy” Combs’ grown sons Quincy, 33, Justin, 30, and Christian “King” Combs, 26, were seen leaving Lower Manhattan federal court on Tuesday, September 17, after their father was denied bail.
However, the 54-year-old rapper’s teenage daughters — twins D’Lila and Jessie, 17 — are reportedly staying in Los Angeles with Lala, a friend of their late mother, Kim Porter, per TMZ.
Porter passed away in 2018 at age 47. The publication reported that while Lala is not the legal guardian for the girls, she has been taking care of them for several years. The teens reportedly attend school in Los Angeles, with Lala overseeing their day-to-day schedules and acting as a surrogate mother figure.

Diddy and ex Porter welcomed the girls on December 21, 2006, just five months after he welcomed daughter Chance, 18, with Sarah Chapman, a businesswoman and alleged friend of the music producer he reportedly never dated.
Diddy also shared son King with Porter, and helped to raise Quincy, Porter’s son from a previous relationship with music producer Al B. Sure. Diddy and Porter began dating in the ’90s and continued on and off until 2007.
The mogul was arrested in New York City on Monday, September 16, and indicted on charges of sex trafficking, among others. The following day he pleaded not guilty to racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, cause or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution charges.
Diddy will await his upcoming trial in jail, as Judge Robyn F. Tarnofsky denied his request for bail. If convicted on every charge, the Bad Boy Records producer would spend at least 15 years in prison — with the possibility of a life sentence.
