The federal investigation surrounding Sean ”Diddy” Combs continues to deepen, with more and more layers coming to light as new information surfaces — or as old photos resurface on social media.

That is at the center of a new controversy facing Justin and Christian Combs, two of Diddy’s sons. Images from the 2010s are coming back to haunt the brothers — and those who maintained associations with the Combs family over the years.

Nicki attended Justin Combs’ birthday party

A rediscovered photo of Nicki Minaj attending Justin Combs’ 16th birthday party have plunged the rapper into some hot water. Justin, now 30 years old, faces allegations that he helped Sean cover up a 2022 shooting in Los Angeles — and he was detained briefly as federal authorities raided Diddy’s LA home last month.

At his 16th birthday party, Justin is seen wearing a jewel-encrusted crown and sitting on a ”throne” at a club in New York, with Minaj — his unofficial date — at his side. Justin and Christian were each gifted $300,000 cars before they knew how to drive, and the former has previously indicated that he would not turn against his father if the chips were down.

”My dad is my best friend – he pushes me to be greater,” Justin has said.

Diddy’s children

Justin and Christian are two of Diddy’s seven children with four women. Justin is the second-oldest behind Quincy, whom Diddy adopted during his relationship with late model Kim Porter.

Christian, 25, goes by the nickname ”King Combs” and faces accusations of sexual assault stemming from an incident on a Diddy-owned yacht during a New Year’s Eve party in December 2022. Christian had produced a #1 single with Kodak Black earlier that year, ”Can’t Stop Won’t Stop.”

Diddy’s other children include 17-year-old daughter Chance, 17-year-old twins D’Lila and Jessie, and one-year-old Love Sean.
