Sean John Combs, aka Diddy, was born on November 4, 1969, in Harlem, New York City, to his parents, father Melvin Earl Combs and mother Janice Combs.

He grew up with his sister Keisha in Mount Vernon, New York. His parents were married during his childhood, and he lived a comfortable middle-class life.

Combs was raised in the Roman Catholic faith and even served as an altar boy. In 1987, he graduated from Mount Saint Michael Academy, an all-boys Catholic school.

Unfortunately, Diddy has been arrested by federal authorities in New York after a grand jury indictment.

Prosecutors are expected to request that the indictment be unsealed by a judge.

This significant development comes 10 months after allegations of sexual abuse and other misconduct surfaced against the music mogul, along with an announcement that he was under investigation for s*x tr*fficking.

How Diddy’s Parents Shaped His Career

Father Melvin Earl Combs Served In The Air Force

Diddy’s father, Melvin Earl Combs, served in the U.S. Air Force before becoming involved with New York dr*g dealer Frank Lucas.

Tragically, when Sean was just two years old, his father was shot and kill*d at the age of 33 while sitting in his car on Central Park West.

Mother Janice Combs Was A Model 

Diddy’s mother, Janice Combs (née Smalls), worked as a model and teacher’s assistant. In a 2006 interview with Oprah, Diddy revealed that his mother initially tried to shield him from the truth about his father’s past.

However, he eventually learned the full story from people in the neighborhood who were familiar with his father’s reputation.

Despite the limited time he spent with his father, Diddy always ensured his mother wanted for nothing, frequently showering her with lavish gifts and publicly celebrating her on social media.

However, these posts have since gone silent amid his ongoing legal case.

In July 2024, Diddy’s mother was hospitalized after experiencing chest pains. Despite undergoing several tests, doctors were unable to reach a conclusive diagnosis at the time, though a source indicated that stress was suspected to be a contributing factor.

Although Janice was generally in stable health, she had undergone brain surgery earlier in the year.

Her hospitalization coincided with Sean Combs’ legal issues, as NBC News had reported that he was under criminal investigation by the Southern District of New York earlier that same month.

Now, with Sean Combs under arrest, concerns over Janice Combs’ health have deepened. If stress had indeed been a factor in her earlier decline, this latest development could only worsen her condition.

Whatever the case is, we wish her good health.
