Here’s a closer look at one of Diddy’s seven kids—whom he welcomed with stylist and fashion designer Misa Hilton-Brim—amid the rapper’s legal troubles.
Sean “Diddy” Combs has been a significant focus for the public due to his ongoing legal troubles.
As a result, the mogul’s children, including Justin Dior Combs, have also been in the spotlight. The son of Diddy and designer Misa Hilton-Brim hasn’t publicly commented on his father’s legal situation. However, he and his siblings have attended each of their father’s court hearings.
Here’s a closer look at Justin—one of Diddy’s seven kids.
He Is Facing a $190,000 Lawsuit
According to In Touch Weekly, court documents indicated that Porsche Leasing LTD served Justin with a lawsuit demanding payment of $190,226.25 on June 11. The suit was reportedly served at Diddy’s mansion in Beverly Hills, California.

We are in touch with the creditor, and the matter is being settled. The outstanding balance will be paid, and the lawsuit will be dropped.”
He Attended UCLA
Justin attended the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where he earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology. He also played as a defensive back for the UCLA Bruins football team on a scholarship worth $54,000, which created some controversy in 2012 due to his family’s wealth.
When Justin committed to the university, his father shared in a statement released by DKC Public Relations, “As a parent, today is one of the proudest moments of my life. This is everything a father could want for his son, for him to excel at what he loves to do and is truly passionate about. Justin is a shining example of what hard work, determination and a strong mentality can achieve. I am honored to call him my son and am happy that he is fulfilling his dream.”
In 2016, Justin graduated from UCLA, becoming the first member of the Combs family to graduate college. “First Combs male to graduate from college… All praise to God & my parents!” he wrote on Instagram, sharing a photo of himself in his cap and gown while posing with family, including Misa and Diddy.
He Was Arrested in 2023
In June 2023, Justin was arrested after failing a sobriety test for running a red light in Beverly Hills. He was reportedly released on a $5,000 bail.
He Is Diddy’s First Biological Child
Justin, born in 1993, is Diddy’s eldest biological child. His older brother, Quincy Taylor Brown, is the biological son of Kim Porter and singer Al B. Sure. He was eventually adopted by Diddy after the rapper began his relationship with Kim when Quincy was just four years old.

He Is an Aspiring Actor
After college, Justin ventured into entertainment, much like his brother Quincy. He most notably appeared in season three of Power Book II: Ghost as the character King and hosted the 2021 TV series Respectfully Justin, where he interviewed celebrity guests such as Saweetie, Chris Brown, and others.
