Sean “Diddy” Combs’ kids addressed “hurtful” rumors about their late mom, Kim Porter, in their first statement since their dad was arrested on sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

Quincy, 33, Christian, 26, and 17-year-old twins Jessie and D’Lila shared a joint statement on their respective Instagrams on Tuesday night.

“We have seen so many hurtful and false rumors circulating about our parents, Kim Porter and Sean Combs’ relationship. As well as about our mom’s tragic passing. That we feel the need to speak out,” the four kids said in the statement.

The hip hop mogul’s kids claimed that rumors swirling that Porter wrote a book are “untrue” and that anyone claiming to have a manuscript is “misrepresenting themselves.”

They also said that anyone claiming to be a friend of the family who is speaking on their behalf “is not a friend” and does not have their “best interests at heart.”

“Our lives were shattered when we lost our mother. She was our world. And nothing has been the same since she passed,” they wrote.

The siblings also seemingly addressed rumors that Diddy had something to do with their mom’s passing, writing that her “cause of her death has long been established.”

“There was no foul play,” they wrote. “Grief is a lifelong process, and we ask that everyone respect our request for peace as we continue to cope with her loss every day.”

The quartet said that they are “deeply saddened” that the public has made a “spectacle” over the “most tragic event” in their lives.

“Our mother should be remembered for the beautiful, strong, kind and loving woman she was. Her memory should not be tainted by horrific conspiracy theories,” they said.

They ended their statement by asking the public to “respect” their mom and “hold her legacy in high regard.”

“It’s what she deserves. We love you and miss you mommy,” they concluded.

Combs, 54, shared Christian, Jessie and D’Lila with his late wife, who died in 2018 at the age of 47 from lobar pneumonia, according to an autopsy report. The rapper also adopted Porter’s son Quincy, whom the model shared with Al B. Sure!.

While they didn’t address the accusations pegged against their dad, reports surfaced this week that Diddy has been in contact with his children from his jail cell via phone calls.

Along with the four children he shared with Porter, the record producer is the father of son Justin, 30, with stylist Misa Hylton, as well as daughter Chance, 18, with Sarah Chapman. He also welcomed his youngest daughter, Love, with Dana Tran in October 2022.

Sources also told TMZ that his kids are “stand[ing] behind” Combs despite the mounting accusations.

The “I’ll Be Missing You” artist was arrested on Sept. 16 and charged with three counts: racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges and has since been placed on suicide watch while being held in a prison in NYC. He was also denied bail.

Combs has been hit with a wave of rape and sexual assault accusations, including by his ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, who sued him in November 2023 for allegedly raping and physically abusing her throughout their 10-year relationship.

The former couple settled the suit the next day but new details of his toxic behavior emerged when a shocking video surfaced in May 2024 of him beating Cassie in a hotel in 2016.

This week, Combs was sued by a woman for allegedly “violently” raping her and filming the attack — the latest in at least a dozen accusations pinned against him.
